Single-Family and Condo Sales See Year-Over-Year Growth, While Co-Op Transactions Decline

(Farmingdale, NY) January 29, 2025 – OneKey® MLS, the premier real estate marketplace providing monthly statistics for residential transactions from Montauk to Manhattan and through the Hudson Valley to the Catskill Mountains, reported data for December 2024 reflecting continued strength in the housing market with higher-value transactions.


In December, the regional single-family closed median sale price was $705,000, marking an 8.5% year-over-year increase from $650,000 in December 2023. Condominiums reported a closed median sale price of $503,000, reflecting a 3.7% increase from the same price reported a year ago. The closed median sale price for co-ops was $280,000, a 3.4% decrease from $290,000 in December 2023.


In terms of transactional activity, closed sales for single-family homes and condominiums were up compared to last year while co-ops were down. There were 3,256 single-family closed transactions in December 2024, an 11.1% increase from December 2023. Condominium closed sales were 559 and co-op sales were 494, marking a 12.2% year-over-year increase and 15.6% decline respectively.


Richard Haggerty, CEO of OneKey® MLS, commented on the current market conditions, stating, “The continued limited inventory in our region remains a key driver of price stability and increases, particularly in the single-family and condominium markets. Buyers are still actively pursuing homeownership despite higher interest rates, and the competition for limited available properties is keeping prices elevated.”


Haggerty further noted, “The increase in closed sales for single-family homes and condos suggests that demand remains strong, even as affordability challenges persist. However, the decline in co-op sales reflects some market hesitancy in that segment, possibly due to financing constraints or shifting buyer preferences.”

Farmingdale, NY – December 16, 2025 – The New York real estate market remained strong and accelerated in November. Home values rose, and buyer interest increased. The regional median sales price jumped 6.5% year-over-year to $685,000, showing high demand in the New York Metropolitan area. Closed sales fell 7.5% year-over-year due to seasonality, but the market stayed strong. Pending sales rose across all housing categories: single-family homes up 4.0%, condominiums up 6.0%, and co-ops up 11.6%. This contract activity mirrors national patterns, underscoring that buyers are responding quickly to steady mortgage rates and favorable fall conditions. Richard Haggerty, CEO of OneKey® MLS, said: “Pending sales, especially the 5% jump across all property types, show buyers gaining confidence. Consumers are moving quickly, setting up an active start to 2026.” Meanwhile, the single-family homes segment continues to drive the market, with median sales reaching $750,000—a 6.3% increase from November 2024. As inventory remains limited, down 7.1% year-over-year for all property types, competition for move-in-ready homes continues to boost equity gains for current homeowners. Looking ahead, expect this competitive environment to persist into early 2026, as buyers remain eager despite limited options. Many are expanding their searches to surrounding counties and suburban markets in hopes of finding suitable homes. This increase in activity is likely to support continued price growth and keep market momentum strong as the new year begins, sustaining the region's positive trends.
