Suffolk County Still Heating Up - Here’s Why You Should Care
Here on Long Island, national trends might be cooling, but Suffolk County is cooking—home prices are at record highs, inventory remains slim, and buyers are moving fast. Let me break it down for you:
Key Market Metrics (May 2025)
Median sale price: $649,126 — up 9.5% from a year ago
Homes sold: 903 — a 2.8% increase month-over-month from April
Inventory: 5,317 active listings — down 3.9% from April
Speed of sale: 62% of homes sold within 30 days; average days on market: 44 — a 23.5% faster pace compared to last May
Why This Matters
Spring boom continues strong: Suffolk is outperforming, with rising prices and surprisingly low inventory, despite easing mortgage rates .
Balanced demand: Buyers are active, but well-priced homes are moving quickly, making it a seller’s market.
Shifting preferences: More buyers are eyeing condos and 55+ communities too, seeing comfort and quality as luxury .
Development Highlights Fueling the Trends
Ronkonkoma Airport Link: Federal funding and local efforts aim to connect Ronkonkoma LIRR to MacArthur Airport - a major potential driver for commute-friendly real estate .
East Yaphank Station: A new LIRR stop is in the works for 2026, bringing hope to job growth and housing accessibility .
SunVet Mall Revamp: The Holbrook shopping center is being reimagined as an open-air destination with Starbucks, Warby Parker, and more - bolstering local consumer demand .
What It Means for You
Sellers: With prices rising and homes disappearing fast, now is a great time to list…especially if you’re in commuter zones or areas with new transit.
Buyers: Be ready to act fast. If you see a well-priced property, you’ll want to put in an offer quickly.
Homeowners: These infrastructure investments mean property values in places like Ronkonkoma, Holbrook, and Yaphank could grow significantly in the next few years.
