How to read our market reports
This guide explains the residential MLS snapshots for Flushing, Queens and Long Island on this website. Before comparing figures, check each report’s geography, reporting period and sample notes.
Where does the data come from?
The snapshots use our synced OneKey MLS dataset. They include Residential and Residential Income sales and exclude rentals and commercial property. These are regional MLS observations, not our own transaction results.
Coverage has not been independently confirmed as complete. Sale counts describe the synced sample, not a certified total for the whole market.
Geographic scope
Each report has its own geographic scope. Results for one area should not be treated as findings about another neighborhood or an individual property.
- Flushing: Flushing core · Queens · ZIP 11354 & 11355
- Queens: Queens County · New York
- Long Island: Nassau & Suffolk Counties · New York
How are sales counted?
Counts cover unique source transactions within the stated period and geography, using the latest revisions and excluding withdrawn records. The number of valid price observations may differ from the sale count.
What does the median closed price mean?
The median is the middle value among valid positive recorded sale prices. Our current regional snapshots require at least 30 price observations and a valid positive result before displaying a median. An insufficient sample is shown as “—”, rather than zero.
A median is not an appraisal of a particular home. The mix of ownership types, locations, sizes and conditions can affect the result. A property-specific discussion still requires comparable sales and relevant property records.
Reporting periods and update dates
The reporting period identifies the dates covered by the sales data. The update date identifies when the snapshot was generated. A snapshot older than the previous calendar month, determined in New York local time, is labeled as an earlier reporting period. Reloading a page does not make historical figures current.
Missing data and different price types
Figures with no data or insufficient observations are shown as “—” with an explanation; do not read this as zero. An asking price is an advertised offer, while a closed price records a completed sale. They are not interchangeable. The observation time for current inventory also does not represent historical month-end inventory.
Discuss what the figures mean for your property
Bring the report name, area, period and figure you want to understand. An agent can help identify comparable properties worth investigating further.
