Long Island Tops U.S. Seller's Market, Driven by NYC Proximity
Redfin data show most metros are now buyer’s markets, but Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk) has become the country’s strongest seller’s market, with 36.2% fewer sellers than buyers as demand to be near Manhattan remains high. Well-priced homes draw multiple offers quickly, while buyers from Queens relocate for more space; sellers should price accurately and stage well, and buyers should get preapproved and be ready to act.
