Long Island Housing Market Data (Continuously Updated)
Data refreshed July 7, 2026 · Homix
Long Island is one of the New York metro's most supply-constrained corners: tight inventory, firm prices, and patient, persistent demand. The tables below gather the sourced figures: island- and county-wide medians, the record average price and luxury-tier entry, and community-level median, price per square foot, days on market, and school rankings across the Nassau North Shore.
A note on method: portal "median sale price" for Great Neck and Roslyn is pulled down by village-center condos, so detached houses trade higher — price per square foot is the more stable cross-community comparison, and single-month figures in small markets are volatile. For the full read see Nassau North Shore Data 2026 and South Shore & Suffolk 2026. For communities see gated communities and Great Neck. Every number carries its source and as-of date.
