Wyandanch Market Data
Current market conditions and pricing trends for Wyandanch, Suffolk, NY.
Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together. Based on 95 recorded closings in ZIP 11798 between Sep 20, 2025 and Sep 20, 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 11798 are up about 16% year over year, comparing 90 sales in the 12 months to September 20, 2026 with 105 in the 12 months to September 20, 2025. Over the past 2 years, single-family monthly median sale prices in ZIP 11798 have ranged from $403K to $685K.

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, 198 homes in the Wyandanch school district passed between family members rather than being sold — about 18 for every 100 that sold on the open market.
84% 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 23 homes for sale in Wyandanch today, 8 are now asking less than they originally asked — 34.8%, against 35.0% across Suffolk. 1 seller has raised their asking price.
And among the homes that actually sold
Among the 62 homes that sold in Wyandanch over the last twelve settled months, 27.4% had cut their price before they sold — up from 12.8% over the same twelve months a year earlier.
What each group got
Over those same twelve months, the 45 Wyandanch homes that sold without ever reducing achieved 100.9% of their asking price in a median of 25 days. The 17 that did reduce achieved 93.3% of what they first asked, after 86 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 Wyandanch 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.
What This Means for Sellers
Wyandanch is showing balanced conditions, which means pricing strategy is more important than ever. Overpriced homes will sit while correctly priced properties still move. This is where having an agent who understands both the legal and market dynamics becomes critical.
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers in Wyandanch have room to make measured decisions right now — neither side holds a decisive edge. Come pre-approved and ready to move on the right home, but you can generally negotiate on price and terms without the frenzy of a hot market.

The listings that did not sell asked a median of $599,000 — 5% above the $570,000 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.

Schools in Wyandanch, NY
Wyandanch is served by the Wyandanch Union Free School District. Attendance zones on Long Island are assigned street by street, so a Wyandanch mailing address does not by itself determine which school a home is zoned for.
- Elementary
- La Francis Hardiman Elementary Sch Martin Luther King Elementary School
- Middle
- Milton L Olive Middle School
- High
- Wyandanch Memorial High School
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.
