Thinking About Selling in Queens, Brooklyn, or Long Island? Here’s What 2026 Is Showing Us

If you’re a homeowner in Queens, Brooklyn, Nassau County, or surrounding NYC areas, you’re probably asking one of two questions:


  • Is now the right time to sell?
  • If I list, will my home actually move?

The real answer isn’t emotional. It’s strategic.

And 2026 is already giving us clear signals.


The Market Is Moving — But Strategy Matters More Than Ever


So far this year, our office has:

  • Secured $65.3M in listings taken
  • Written $69.8M in contracts
  • Closed $82.5M in sales
  • Sold 92 units year-to-date

That tells us something important:

✔ Homes are being listed
✔ Buyers are writing contracts
✔ Deals are closing

But here’s the truth most homeowners don’t hear:

The homes that are winning are positioned correctly from day one.

Overpricing, weak presentation, or poor negotiation strategy will cost you time and money in today’s environment.


What Sellers in Queens Need to Know

In neighborhoods across Queens — from Bayside and Flushing to Forest Hills and Whitestone — buyers are educated. They are comparing closed sales. They are analyzing days on market. They know when something is overpriced.

If your pricing is even 5% off in today’s market, you lose momentum.

And once momentum is gone, you don’t get it back easily.


What’s Happening in Brooklyn Right Now

Brooklyn sellers are facing a more competitive landscape, especially in:

  • Brownstone markets
  • Condo resales
  • Co-op inventory

Buyers are cautious. They negotiate. They expect value.

That doesn’t mean homes aren’t selling.

It means they’re selling when:

  • The pricing strategy is sharp
  • The marketing is aggressive
  • The negotiation is strong


Nassau County & Long Island Sellers: Timing Is Strategic

On Long Island, inventory levels and buyer demand are hyper-local.

In certain Nassau County pockets, well-priced homes are still moving quickly.

But the sellers who assume “it’ll sell because inventory is low” are learning hard lessons.

Presentation and negotiation now matter more than ever.


Why Office-Level Production Matters to You as a Seller

When a Market Center is consistently taking listings, writing contracts, and closing transactions at scale, that translates into:

  • Real-time pricing data
  • Active buyer pipelines
  • Negotiation leverage
  • Deep local market awareness

You’re not hiring an agent guessing what the market is doing.

You’re hiring someone operating inside it every single week.

That difference impacts your final sale price.
