What Is Your Medford, NY Home Worth?
Get a strategic market analysis — not an algorithm. A real evaluation from a licensed attorney and Associate Real Estate Broker serving Suffolk.
Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together.
Based on 310 recorded closings in ZIP 11763 between Sep 10, 2025 and Sep 10, 2026 — a settled trailing twelve months,
ending about a month back so late-recorded closings are counted rather than missed.
Days on market are medians, not averages. A property type with fewer than 8 closed sales in that window is left out rather than published on a sample too thin to mean anything.

Each segment is measured on its own inventory and sales pace — a segment's condition can differ from the overall market reading above.
The Trend
11763 has tightened over the past 2 years: the median sale price has advanced roughly 5% year over year to near $610K, and sales have generally been closing faster. That combination points to conditions favoring sellers — and if it continues, further firming is possible.
Coops & Condos: A Different Trend
Houses, coops, and condos do not move together here -- each segment below is measured on its own closed sales, so the direction (and what it means for you) can differ from the blended market above.
Condos in Medford
Hot Seller's Market
the Medford condo market has been notably consistent over the past 2 years: monthly median sale prices have stayed between $340K and $578K, centering around $421K, without a sustained move in either direction. Recently, homes have been selling in about 29 days.
Sellers: Demand supports a stronger ask -- but keep it appraisal-ready, and expect buyers to compare your carrying costs against nearby buildings.
Buyers: Expect competition. A fully underwritten pre-approval and flexibility on timing are what separate winning condo offers here.

What investors paid, and what they resold for
Median purchase and resale price by yearBought forResold forShare of all local purchases made by companies
Across 8 years of county-clerk records, 483 homes in the Patchogue-Medford school district were bought by a company and resold within two years. Over the whole period the typical one was bought for $225,000 and resold for $375,000, a median of 7.1 months later.
That difference is gross. Renovation, carrying, financing and selling costs are not recorded anywhere public, so it is the change in price, not a profit. Over a hold of that length prices across the county moved about +4.7%, so most of the difference is not the market carrying the house.
What these homes resold for moved from a median of $280,000 in 2017 to $595,000 in 2024, up about 113% over the period.
The pandemic years cut against the intuition that investors moved in. Companies bought 15.3% of homes here in 2019, then 11.2% in 2020 and 9.9% in 2021 — the lowest share of the 8 years. In the two years when buyers competed hardest, companies won a smaller share, not a larger one. The number bought and resold within two years fell with it, from 83 in 2019 to 49 in 2021.
Since then it has reversed. Company buying reached 15.6% in 2024, the highest of the period — above its pre-pandemic level, while the market cooled.

That difference is gross. Renovation, carrying, financing and selling costs are not recorded anywhere public, so it is the change in price, not a profit.

Homes that changed hands without going on the market
Between 2017 and October 2025, 1,002 homes in the Patchogue-Medford school district passed between family members rather than being sold — about 17 for every 100 that sold on the open market.
83% of them recorded no price at all, so they appear in no market statistic, no listing history and no sold comparable. They are counted here because the transfer itself is filed with the county clerk, whether or not money changed hands.
Family transfers per 100 open-market sales, by year
Counted from the reason recorded on each transfer with the county clerk, not from the price. Transfers filed only to add or remove a name on the deed are excluded — those are paperwork, not a change of owner. Where a filing gives no reason it is not counted, so these are minimum counts rather than a complete rate, and they run to October 2025.
Who has cut their asking price
Price reductions in Medford
14 of 51 homes for sale
27.5% have cut their asking price — below the 34.9% across Suffolk
Of the 51 homes for sale in Medford today, 14 are now asking less than they originally asked — 27.5%, against 34.9% across Suffolk. 2 sellers have raised their asking price.
And among the homes that actually sold
Among the 304 homes that sold in Medford over the last twelve settled months, 18.4% had cut their price before they sold — up from 15.6% over the same twelve months a year earlier. The for-sale figure runs higher than the sold figure because homes that need a reduction stay on the market longer, so they build up among the listings still available while the completed sales are led by homes that sold without cutting.
What each group got
Over those same twelve months, the 248 Medford homes that sold without ever reducing achieved 103.0% of their asking price in a median of 20 days. The 56 that did reduce achieved 94.8% of what they first asked, after 59 days.
Homes that never reduced and homes that did are different homes, priced differently from the start — these figures describe what each group did, not what a reduction causes. How any individual home performs depends on condition, layout, its position within Medford and how it shows, none of which a market median can capture.
Measured from the OneKey MLS feed, updated daily. A home counts as reduced when its current asking price is below the price it was first listed at — not against an estimate or against other homes. The for-sale figures describe homes available today; the sold figures describe closed sales between September 2025 and August 2026.
Joseph's Market Take
What This Means for Sellers
Medford reads as a Seller's Market: about 2.3 months of single-family supply, and homes sold in a median of 23 days over the past 12 months. If you're considering selling, this market rewards strategic pricing — not overpricing. A properly positioned listing will attract qualified buyers and maximize your net proceeds.
Buyer Advisory
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers in Medford should be prepared to act quickly and come with strong offers. Pre-approval is essential, and buyers are generally better served retaining their own real estate attorney early to review the negotiation and contract. Expect competition, but don't overpay — there's a difference between being competitive and being reckless.

03 — About Medford
What It's Like Living in Medford
Medford is one of Suffolk's most established residential communities, offering a distinctive blend of suburban character and metropolitan accessibility. Located in the 11763 zip code, the community is served by the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District.
With a median home price of $630,000 and a median recorded property tax of $10,900 annually, Medford pairs an established housing stock with direct access to New York City.
Ownership here takes more than one form: condos selling at a median of $419K, single-family homes selling at a median of $630K — two genuinely different ways to live in Medford. In a coop or condo, the building handles the envelope — roof, heat, grounds — and your monthly maintenance or common charges fund it; in a house, those responsibilities (and that flexibility) are entirely yours. Condos are the dominant apartment form in Medford — deeded ownership with fewer transfer restrictions than a coop.
Local Expert Insights
Joseph's Insider Guide to Medford
Direct answers informed by 5,000+ closed transactions across Nassau, Suffolk, Queens and Brooklyn — not the canned content you'd find on any listing portal.
What are property tax trends in Medford, NY?
Medford homeowners pay a median of approximately $10,900 a year in property taxes — the median of the tax figures actually recorded on homes sold here, not an estimate. The bill funds school-district, county, town, and special-district services. Taxes are assessed parcel by parcel, so two similar homes on the same street can carry very different bills — confirm the actual assessment on a specific address before relying on it.
Is now a good time to buy or sell in Medford?
Medford is currently a Seller's Market, with homes selling in about 23 days. Prices have moved +6% year-over-year. Timing decisions depend on your specific situation — contact Joseph for a no-cost strategy session tailored to your property and goals.
What makes Medford different from other Suffolk communities?
Medford is a long-established community served by the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District. Prices and activity vary by property type, school district, condition and price band; the figures above show where this market stands now.
What should buyers know before making an offer in Medford?
School district boundaries in Medford often run street by street — two blocks can mean a different school zone, so confirming a home's exact attendance zone before you make an offer matters. As an Associate Broker who is also an attorney, Joseph reads title and contract details differently than most agents — and when the facts of a deal are in front of him, he knows what's worth asking about. (Not a substitute for your own attorney's representation.)
Is Medford walkable for everyday living?
Medford has a Walk Score of 22/100, measured at a single point near the centre of Medford. Walkability varies street by street, so check the score for a specific address.

Expert answers to the most common questions about buying and selling in Medford.
How much does it cost to buy a home in Medford?
Single-family homes in Medford sold for a median of about $630,000 in the 12 months to September 10, 2026, across 231 closed sales, up 6% from the 12 months before. Their median recorded property-tax bill was about $10,900 a year. New York State's 1% mansion tax does not apply at that price; it starts at $1 million. The State's 0.4% base transfer tax is paid by the seller. Lender, title-insurance and attorney charges depend on the loan and the contract, so they are not included here.

Is Medford a good place to buy a home, and who is it right for?
Medford is an established Suffolk community served by the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District, with a median home price of $630,000 and a median tax bill around $10,900. Commuters reach Manhattan via the LIRR, and it's currently a Seller's Market. Whether it fits comes down to budget, schools, and commute — I'll give you a candid read on the trade-offs versus nearby towns.
What are property taxes like in Medford, and can they be lowered?
Medford's median property-tax bill runs about $10,900/year. Can they be lowered? Sometimes. You can file a tax grievance — formally a tax certiorari proceeding — that challenges the assessed value your bill is calculated from. There's no guarantee of a reduction, it can take roughly two years to show up on your bill, and even a successful challenge may move the number only modestly. Many homeowners still pursue it, and a number of firms will handle the filing for a share of the first year's savings. It's worth reviewing for your specific home, and Joseph can pull a property's full tax history before you make an offer. If taxes are a deciding factor, you can also filter for lower-tax communities and compare.
What is the LIRR commute from Medford to Manhattan?
Most Medford commuters use the Medford station on the LIRR. If you want options, nearby stations include Bellport (about 95 min to Penn) — handy for trading a shorter drive for a faster train. View LIRR schedules and fares.
What is the median home price in Medford, and is it a buyer's or seller's market right now?
The median home price in Medford is $630,000, with prices trending +6% year over year, and the market is currently a Seller's Market with a median of 23 days on market. On the supply side, Medford is carrying about 2.3 months of single-family inventory — the time it would take to sell every active single-family listing at the current sales pace — which points to a limited supply that favors sellers, with roughly 43% of available homes selling each month (the absorption rate). Homes have recently sold at a median of about 102% of list price — 59% of sales closed above asking, 18% at asking, and 23% below. For a detailed analysis of your specific home or purchase target, contact Joseph DeVito for a complimentary market evaluation.
How are the schools in Medford?
Medford is served by the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District. School attendance zones can run street by street, so an address in Medford doesn't automatically put a home in a given school. Because that distinction can affect both your child's school and the home's resale value, Joseph checks the specific attendance zone for any home you're seriously considering before you make an offer.
Why work with Joseph DeVito to buy or sell in Medford?
Joseph DeVito doesn't just help people buy and sell homes — he's spent over a decade hands-on renovating them. Alongside 5,000+ transactions, that renovation experience means he's worked through layout, design, and functionality decisions and lived with the timelines, costs, and pitfalls of a project — so he walks a home with a renovator's eye for craftsmanship and condition and can show buyers where to look closely. As a licensed attorney (though not your attorney on the transaction), he also reads a deal differently than most agents: when the facts of a transaction are in front of him, he understands the contract and title questions worth asking. His background also includes deep foreclosure and distressed-sale experience. In a divorce or estate sale, he can orient you and then coordinate with your matrimonial or estate representative for the legal specifics outside an agent's role. He's also genuinely responsive. It's an uncommon mix, and clients are generally better served by it. (Joseph represents you as your agent through Keller Williams; this is not legal representation and does not create an attorney-client relationship.)
Is Medford served by one school district, or do buyers need to verify district boundaries?
Not always — and it is one of the most important things to confirm before you buy. A mailing address in Medford does not guarantee a home is in the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District; attendance zones can run street by street, so a home a few blocks away can feed a different district. Because the assigned schools determine a child's placement, confirm the assigned schools for the specific address with the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District before you make an offer on a Medford home. Ask about a home's school district →
Which school district is the main draw for buyers looking in Medford?
Medford is served by the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District. Comparing districts is less about a single ranking and more about which one a specific home actually feeds — on Long Island a boundary can run down the middle of a street, so two nearby homes can sit in different districts. Rather than rely on a mailing address or a listing's "school district" field, confirm the assigned schools for the exact address with the district. I can also run a side-by-side of real Medford-area listings against the neighboring towns you're weighing so you compare on the same budget. Compare Medford-area homes →
Why can two Medford homes with similar prices have very different tax bills?
Two similar-looking Medford homes can carry very different tax bills because the bill is calculated from each property's assessed value — not its sale price — and assessments don't always track the market evenly. Medford's median property-tax bill runs about $10,900/year. If a home looks over-assessed relative to comparable sales, you can file a tax grievance (formally a tax certiorari proceeding) to challenge the assessment — there's no guarantee of a reduction and it typically takes time to show up on the bill. I review a home's full tax history before you make an offer, because a number that looks fine today can shift after a reassessment. Ask me to pull a property's tax history →
How does Medford's effective tax rate compare with the Suffolk County average?
Medford's median property-tax bill runs about $10,900/year. Those taxes fund the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District and local services, which is a large part of why values hold here. If taxes are a deciding factor, you can filter for lower-tax communities and compare on the same budget — and if a specific home looks over-assessed, you can file a tax grievance to challenge the assessment (no guaranteed reduction, and it takes time to take effect). I'll pull any home's full tax history before you commit. Compare Medford taxes with nearby towns →
Is Medford a buyer's market or seller's market right now?
Medford is currently a Seller's Market, with a median of 23 days on market and prices +6% year over year. On the supply side, Medford is carrying about 2.3 months of single-family inventory — the time it would take to sell every active single-family listing at the current sales pace — which points to a limited supply that favors sellers, with roughly 43% of available homes selling each month (the absorption rate). Homes have recently sold at a median of about 102% of list price — 59% of sales closed above asking, 18% at asking, and 23% below. Whether that's faster or slower than the wider Suffolk market shifts with the season and the price point, so the honest read is the live one.

Whether that's faster or slower than the wider Suffolk market shifts with the season and the price point, so the honest read is the live one.

What counts as a price reduction on this page?
A home is counted as reduced when its current asking price is lower than the price it was first listed at. It is not based on an estimate, on a valuation, or on what similar homes are worth — only on the seller's own two numbers, their original asking price and their current one.
Are price cuts in Medford becoming more or less common?
18.4% of the 304 homes that sold in Medford over the last twelve settled months had reduced their price before selling, compared with 15.6% over the same twelve months a year earlier. The two periods cover the same calendar months, because price cutting is strongly seasonal.
