Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together. Based on 256 recorded closings in ZIP 11580 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.

Valley Stream is served by 3 elementary school districts. Each has its own market, so each is shown separately:

Based on information from OneKey® MLS, for the period October 6, 2025 through October 1, 2026. Source: OneKey MLS (recorded LI sales, trailing 12mo) + actual tax. Each home is placed in its district by the official Census school-district boundary. "Typically" is the middle half of sales.

Of the 115 homes for sale in Valley Stream today, 41 are now asking less than they originally asked — 35.7%, against 35.3% across Nassau. 5 sellers have raised their asking price.

And among the homes that actually sold

Among the 353 homes that sold in Valley Stream over the last twelve settled months, 17.3% had cut their price before they sold — down from 20.8% 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 292 Valley Stream homes that sold without ever reducing achieved 100.7% of their asking price in a median of 23 days. The 61 that did reduce achieved 94.2% of what they first asked, after 84 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 Valley Stream 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.

The listings that did not sell asked a median of $849,999 — 13% above the $752,000 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.
