By Paul Chung · OneKey MLS · March 2026 Closed Sales
Every month I pull closed-sale data directly from OneKey MLS and run it through the same analysis I use for my newsletter subscribers. Here's what the numbers showed for March 2026 across Northeast Queens and New Hyde Park — two of the markets I track most closely for buyers and sellers in my pipeline.
The data below covers single-family homes that closed in March 2026 across Northeast Queens — Bayside, Whitestone, Douglaston, Little Neck, and College Point, combined.

What these numbers tell me: the Northeast Queens market in Q1 2026 is functioning — homes are selling — but the peak-market dynamics of 2022–23 have normalized significantly. The median of $1,055,000 across the combined NEQ market reflects a price floor that has held despite rate pressure. The 52-day average DOM and 94% list-to-sale ratio tell a more nuanced story: well-priced homes in move-in condition are still moving. Overpriced listings or homes requiring work are sitting longer and taking deeper discounts.
The 6 out of 24 homes that sold at or above asking — 25% of closings — were concentrated in the tightest submarkets (Bayside/Whitestone) and in a price band from $860K to $1.05M where buyer demand is most active. Above $1.2M, buyers are negotiating more aggressively.
New Hyde Park continues to be one of the most competitive markets in Nassau County. March 2026 data for single-family homes shows stronger demand metrics than the broader NEQ market.

New Hyde Park hit a milestone in March 2026: the median single-family sale price crossed $1,000,000 for the month. More striking is the demand signal — 9 of 17 closings (53%) sold at or above the asking price. That's a competitive market by any measure, especially at this price point.
The 66-day average DOM looks elevated on the surface, but it's skewed by a handful of properties that were overpriced out of the gate or had condition issues. Remove the outliers and the true "move-in ready, priced right" segment is closing in 15–45 days with multiple offers. Buyers who are pre-approved and can move quickly are winning here — buyers who aren't ready are losing.
Rates in the upper 6s have made buyers more deliberate. There's less panic-buying than there was in 2022–23, but demand for the right house hasn't disappeared — it's just more selective. The opportunity right now is that fewer competing buyers means more time to think, more room to negotiate on condition and closing terms, and in some cases actual price reductions on listings that sat too long.
My advice: get pre-approved before you start seriously looking, and know what your number is before you walk into the first showing. As your loan officer and your agent, I can give you a real financing picture tied directly to the properties you're considering — not a generic pre-approval letter.
The sellers doing well right now are the ones who price based on what the market is actually paying — not what they need or what their neighbor got two years ago. The homes closing near 99–103% of list price are the ones that came to market at the right number, showed well, and moved quickly. The homes dragging down the averages are the ones that chased a higher price, sat for 90+ days, and ultimately accepted something lower than they would have gotten if they'd priced right on day one.
If you're thinking about listing, reach out. I'll pull the most current comps for your specific block and give you an honest picture — not a number designed to win the listing.
One advantage I bring to my sellers is direct access to the buyers I'm already working with. As soon as a listing agreement is signed, I blast my full buyer and investor database to start building interest before the home hits MLS. In a market where the right buyer is out there but may not be checking Zillow every day, that head start matters.
I'm currently working with buyers actively looking in Bayside, Whitestone, and New Hyde Park in the $800K–$1.4M range. If you have a home in that corridor and are thinking about selling, let's talk before it goes to market.
I pull market data every month for Bayside, Whitestone, Bay Terrace, Douglaston, Great Neck, and New Hyde Park. If you want a free market report for your specific neighborhood — or a realistic valuation of your home — reach out directly.
