OneKey® MLS Reports March 2025 Real Estate Trends: Continued Seller-Favored Market with Varied Regional Pricing Shifts

Tricia Chirco • April 15, 2025

(Farmingdale, NY) April 15, 2025 – OneKey® MLS, the leading real estate marketplace serving the New York regional market from Montauk to Manhattan and north through the Hudson Valley to the Catskill Mountains, has released its monthly residential statistics for March 2025, reflecting a continued competitive market that favors sellers.


In March, the closed median sale price for single-family homes in the region reached $718,500, an increase of 10.5% from $650,000 in March 2024. Condominium prices also saw a modest rise, with a closed median sale price of $515,000, up 3.6% year-over-year. In contrast, the co-op market experienced a decline, with a closed median sale price of $285,000, down 5% from $300,000 in the same period last year.


Transactional sales activity remained relatively steady for single-family homes, with closed sales rising 1.4% year-over-year. Meanwhile, closed sales for condominiums and co-ops declined by 4.7% and 8.8%, respectively.


Over the past year, real estate prices across the region have shown varied trends, with some counties experiencing steady growth and others marked by fluctuations. Westchester County consistently leads the market with the highest median sale prices, peaking at $1,031,500 in June 2024 before settling at $860,000 in March 2025. Queens and Nassau also remain strong markets, with median prices consistently in the $800K+ range, showing moderate growth and relative stability.


In contrast, Sullivan County represents the more affordable end of the market, with notable volatility—rising from $290,000 in March 2024 to $390,000 in February 2025, then dropping to $355,000 in March 2025. Bronx prices saw a recent spike to $710,000, the highest in over a year, suggesting renewed demand or limited inventory.


Counties like Putnam, Orange, and Dutchess displayed moderate price shifts, generally ranging from the mid-$400Ks to mid-$500Ks, with signs of stabilization in early 2025. These areas may appeal to buyers seeking more affordability without straying too far from downstate urban centers.


"As we move into the spring market, we're seeing renewed activity across several counties, particularly in the Bronx and Queens," said Richard Haggerty, CEO of OneKey® MLS. "While pricing trends remain varied, the overall market continues to show a steady demand across a wide range of price points."

National Homeownership Month is an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges that make homeownership an accessible option for everyone and to evolve the conversation about what a home looks like. We also want to highlight individuals and initiatives that are working towards helping those in need. Impactful Lives is a nonprofit organization supporting unhoused young mothers living in shelters. Founded by Natasha Williams, the organization adopts a holistic, community-driven approach to address five critical challenges faced by these mothers: reproductive justice, economic insecurity, youth development, educational attainment, and food insecurity. Through tailored support, mentorship, career guidance, and essential provisions, Impactful Lives empowers these women to transform their circumstances and emerge as thriving contributors to society. With the mantra "The time to make a difference is now," Impactful Lives offers several programs focused on mental health support, provides essential supplies, and celebrates achievements. These programs include back-to-school and essential item drives, grocery store outings to help mothers purchase fresh produce, moving celebrations for those transitioning to independent living, and intimate sessions where successful mothers volunteer to share their personal journeys, offering hope and inspiration to moms currently in shelter. Additionally, their annual signature event: hosting uplifting Mother’s Day brunches at the shelters serves as a moment of refresh and inspiration. Lastly, Impactful Lives works with women to build a plan for homeownership that includes down payment assistance, aided by DPR (a resource provided through OneKey MLS). Natasha Williams, the driving force behind Impactful Lives, brings over 15 years of expertise in finance, a distinguished background as a youth educator, and a successful career in real estate. Her unwavering commitment to community empowerment and social change inspired her to create this self-funded nonprofit, where she serves as both founder and president with passion and dedication. She also regularly teaches first-time homebuying seminars to help buyers navigate the process and partners with housing agencies to expand access to down payment assistance, financial education, and sustainable homeownership opportunities. In 2023, Natasha Williams was honored with the REALTOR® Spirit Award from the Long Island Board of REALTORS® for her extraordinary impact and dedication to her community. Under her leadership, Impactful Lives continues to ignite hope and foster meaningful change for young mothers in need.

As an MLS executive and someone who believes deeply in fair and equitable access to housing, I don't view fair housing as a compliance item — I see it as a fundamental responsibility. Either our systems support equity, or they leave room for bias. There isn't a middle ground. The real estate industry has a well-documented history of overt and subtle discrimination. As stewards of the MLS, we must do better. Transparency is crucial. The NAR's Clear Cooperation Policy limits pocket listings and private networks that restrict access. While off-MLS strategies may seem harmless, research indicates they can have negative consequences. A 2020 National Fair Housing Alliance investigation revealed that pocket listings harm buyers from historically marginalized communities by limiting their access to available homes. By marketing properties privately within small, homogeneous networks, this practice reinforces exclusivity and restricts opportunities for others, undermining the principle of an open and competitive market. More recent studies have provided compelling data on the detrimental effects of pocket listings and private networks in real estate. A 2025 Zillow analysis revealed that New York homes sold off the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) typically fetched $13,749 less than those listed on the MLS. The impact is even more pronounced in communities of color – almost 3% less than sellers in majority-white neighborhoods nationally. These statistics highlight the importance of transparent and inclusive listing practices. We promote fair access and help sellers achieve the best financial outcomes by ensuring that properties are listed on the MLS. This practice also guarantees that all buyers have an equal opportunity and that sellers benefit from wider market exposure. Our commitment goes beyond implementing policies. We must also do more by leveraging technology to identify discriminatory language, establish rules that prevent harmful practices, and provide education and guidance to our users. These actions form the foundation of our industry. Fair housing isn't a political issue. It's a matter of professional integrity—and, not least of all, of human character. At the MLS, we play a central role in shaping how real estate is practiced—and that includes ensuring the systems we maintain are fair, transparent, and inclusive for everyone.
