OneKey® MLS Reports July 2025 Market Trends: Prices Climb While Sales Ease Amid Mortgage Pressures

Tricia Chirco • August 13, 2025

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FARMINGDALE, NY (August 14, 2025) OneKey® MLS, the largest multiple listing service in New York, has released its July 2025 Market Report, revealing a continued upward trend in home prices across the region, even as overall sales activity slows.


Closed sales for all property types across the New York Metropolitan region declined 2.2% year-over-year to 4,523 transactions. Single-family homes saw a 2.6% drop, co-ops fell 3.0%, while condos posted a slight 0.4% increase. Despite the dip in closings, prices continued to rise: the median sales price for single-family homes jumped 7.3% to $775,000, condos rose 7.1% to $525,000, and co-ops matched that growth with a 7.1% increase to $300,000.


“The consistent rise in median prices across all property types tells a clear story,” said Richard Haggerty, CEO of OneKey® MLS. “Even with fewer transactions, demand remains strong enough to push prices higher. Sellers who price strategically are seeing solid results, and buyers are still stepping up when the right opportunity presents itself.”


Current mortgage conditions are playing a significant role in shaping buyer behavior. As of mid-August, the average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage stands at 6.55%. With rates hovering near multi-year highs, many buyers are recalibrating budgets and timing, but the data shows that when homes are priced right, they’re still attracting offers.



Looking ahead to the remainder of 2025, market dynamics are expected to remain complex. Inventory constraints and elevated mortgage rates may continue to temper sales volume, but pricing strength is likely to persist, especially in high-demand areas. Buyers and sellers alike should stay informed and work closely with real estate professionals to navigate evolving conditions.

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.
