Enhanced security brings added peace of mind
Working in partnership with our MLS vendors, OneKey has added additional security to the MLS access process. Why are continuing efforts needed? As bad actors continue to adapt techniques to gain access to identity and other data, our methods of protection must remain one step ahead. The impact to the average user experience will likely be minimal. Some users may experience more frequent requests for a second form of authentication when logging into the MLS when resetting a password, logging in from a new location, or other behaviors that may flag the system to prompt multi-factor authentication (MFA). Our security partner will learn your behavior over time and less frequent multifactor authentication prompts will occur. As always, we encourage users to keep contact information including preferred email address and cell phone number up-to-date with your association as this information is used as part of multi-factor authentication.

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.
