Quogue Market Data
Current market conditions and pricing trends for Quogue, Suffolk, NY.
Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together. Based on 22 recorded closings in ZIP 11959 between Sep 19, 2025 and Sep 19, 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.
Single-family prices in ZIP 11959 are down about 7% year over year, comparing 21 sales in the 12 months to September 19, 2026 with 28 in the 12 months to September 19, 2025.
Across 8 years of county-clerk records, 12 homes in the Quogue school district were bought by a company and resold within two years. Over the whole period the typical one was bought for $961,000 and resold for $2,400,000, a median of 15 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 +9.0%, so most of the difference is not the market carrying the house.
Through the pandemic years company buying here ran above its 2019 level — 19.0% in 2019 against 28.9% in 2020 and 28.4% in 2021.
Company buying reached 36.8% in 2024, the highest of the period — above its 2019 level of 19.0%.
No company bought and resold a home in the Quogue school district within two years in 2025.
Companies bought 36.1% of the 36 homes sold in the Quogue school district that year (13 of them).
2025 is not a complete year here. Filings reach the state months after closing, so 2025 runs only to October and its totals will keep rising. Its counts are not comparable with a full year; its medians are.

Source: property transfers recorded with the county clerk, which cover every sale rather than only those listed for sale. Filings reach the state months after closing, so these figures run to October 2025 and describe what has already happened rather than the market today.
Between 2017 and October 2025, 96 homes in the Quogue school district passed between family members rather than being sold — about 22 for every 100 that sold on the open market.
88% 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.
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.
Of the 24 homes for sale in Quogue today, 12 are now asking less than they originally asked — 50.0%, against 34.5% across Suffolk.
And among the homes that actually sold
4 of the 19 homes that sold in Quogue over the last twelve settled months had cut their price before they sold, against 12 of 29 over the same twelve months a year earlier. At these volumes the two years are too few sales apart to call a direction — the counts are exact, the trend is not yet one. 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.
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.
What This Means for Sellers
Quogue is sending mixed signals: there is real inventory on the market, yet homes are still selling at a pace and a price that don't match that supply. Neither side holds a clear edge, so the number you list at matters more than the headline. Overpriced homes will sit while correctly priced properties still move — and the comparables for your specific home, not a market label, are what set that number.
What This Means for Buyers
Quogue is a mixed picture for buyers. Market indicators do not agree, so we are withholding a buyer's or seller's market classification. Review the inventory, selling time, and sale-to-list figures individually for a clearer picture of current conditions. Come pre-approved, and judge each home on its own comparables rather than on the market's headline.

The listings that did not sell asked a median of $3,549,000 — 21% above the $2,925,000 median of the homes that closed. Counted over the trailing twelve months: every listing that closed, expired, was withdrawn or was terminated. Listings still active or under contract are not counted on either side. If the feed does not retain every withdrawn listing, the real figure is higher than the one shown, never lower.

Is Quogue a good place to live for commuters?

Schools in Quogue, NY
Quogue is served by the Quogue Union Free School District. Attendance zones on Long Island are assigned street by street, so a Quogue mailing address does not by itself determine which school a home is zoned for.
- Elementary
- Quogue Elementary School
- Middle
- Westhampton Middle School
- High
- Westhampton Beach Senior High Sch
These are the schools recorded on homes sold in this district over the last 12 months — the district may also serve neighbouring communities. Zones can change and run street by street — we confirm the exact assignment for any home before you offer.
Typical value is the median recorded sale price in the district. Typical annual tax and effective rate are the median recorded tax bill and that bill divided by the median sale price, across 23 recent sales carrying a reported tax figure — an observed cost ratio, not an official millage rate. District boundaries can cross town and postal lines, so always verify the district for a specific address.
