September 2025 Long Island Real Estate Market Update | Sellers Still Hold Control

Описание: The Long Island real estate market is ending summer strong — and sellers are still holding all the cards.

In this September 2025 Market Update, we break down the latest housing data for Suffolk County and Nassau County, what the lower mortgage rates really mean for buyers, and how technology—from police drones to AI home searches—is reshaping real estate.

📊 Suffolk County Highlights (September 2025)

Median Sold Price: $710,000 (+1.4% MoM, +7.4% YoY)

Months of Inventory: 3.32 (down 13.5% YoY)

Median Days on Market: 31

Sold-to-List Ratio: 107.7% — the highest this year

Suffolk County remains a seller’s market, with homes selling nearly 8% over asking price. Inventory continues to shrink, and competition is fierce.

📊 Nassau County Highlights (September 2025)

Median Sold Price: $849,000 (down 1.8% MoM, +5% YoY)

Months of Inventory: 3.0 (down 11.8% YoY)

Median Days on Market: 30

Sold-to-List Ratio: 100.6%

Nassau’s market is steady, but still competitive under $1M.

🏠 Sal’s Take:
The lower mortgage rates we’ve been tracking since summer are starting to make an impact. Buyers are returning, but sellers remain in control. Inventory hasn’t caught up, and that keeps leverage firmly on the listing side of the table.

If you’re buying — be ready to move fast. If you’re selling — now’s the time to list while competition remains tight.
