Queens, NY Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

Queens's tracked sales are overwhelmingly condos, which changes how every number below should be read: the median tracks that segment, not a blend of property types. Here is what actually closed over the last six months, as of September 2026.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 904
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $323,740
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $390
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $260,000 and $400,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 904 closed sales in Queens over the last six months, with a median closing price of $323,740. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $260,000 and $400,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 99% of the Queens closings we track here are condos, so these figures describe that segment rather than every property type in the city, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 584 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $332 and $459 per square foot.

Where Queens sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Queens over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $260,000 and $400,000. Among the 45 New York markets with a published band, Queens's middle-half spread ($260,000 to $400,000) ranks 12th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 68 days, across 417 Queens closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
• •Contract to closing: a median of 100 days, across 379 Queens closings Resideline tracked in the last six months

The Queens angle

Queens combines an unusually strong sample with a comparatively narrow middle half. Use both properties. The clustering means $323,740 is a defensible opening reference. A comp set clustered on the high side carries more of that spread, which is worth noting whenever a valuation lands above the citywide figure.

From market read to offer price

In a market this concentrated in condos, pricing any one property starts with its own segment, not the citywide line. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Queens address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Queens over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track across Queens (a county subdivision) are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 35% of the 904 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $325,000.
