Northport & Huntington, NY (11743) Real Estate Market Update Late Summer 2026

By Valerie LaBianca | Long Island, NY Real Estate

If you've been watching Northport NY real estate or Huntington NY 11743 homes for sale, you already know this corner of Long Island's North Shore has stayed one of the most in-demand markets in Suffolk County all year. Below is a property and market update pulling current numbers from One Key MLS-sourced data, Redfin, Zillow, Realtor.com, Movoto, and Neighborhood Scout so you're working from real, sourced figures, not guesswork.

Northport, NY (11768) Market Snapshot

Northport Village continues to command some of the highest per-square-foot pricing on Long Island's North Shore, and 2026 has brought a genuine "spring and summer awakening" to the local market.

• Median sale price: Redfin's most recent data puts Northport's median sale price at roughly $1.15M, a striking +37.3% year-over-year increase, with homes selling at about $495/sq ft (also up sharply YoY).
• List prices: Movoto reports a median list price near $1.17M as of July 2026, at about $460/sq ft, while Zillow's more conservative Zillow Home Value Index shows the broader average home value at $756,348, up modestly (+0.2%) year-over-year a reminder that "median sale price" and "average home value" measure different things and can diverge.
• Inventory: Realtytrac lists a median list price of roughly $1.08M across active Northport listings, with homes ranging from about $130,000 up to nearly $8 million, reflecting the village's wide mix of starter homes, waterfront estates, and everything in between.
• Pace of sales: Days-on-market figures vary by source and season Movoto reported homes moving in about 34–35 days, while Redfin's private-beach and waterfront segment data shows some premium listings taking closer to 60 days and fielding double-digit offers.
• New listings & activity: Local brokerage reporting (Educators Realty, using RPR and One Key MLS data through Q1 2026) describes rising property values paired with a notable increase in new listings this spring good news for buyers who've felt boxed out by tight inventory over the past two years.

Bottom line for Northport: this remains a seller's market, but the increase in new listings this year is giving buyers more to choose from than they've had in recent memory.

Huntington, NY 11743 Market Snapshot

Zip code 11743 covering Huntington Village, Hale site, and the surrounding neighborhoods is showing a market that's cooled slightly from its 2024 peak but is still firmly competitive.

• Median sale price: Redfin's 11743 zip-level data show a median around $999K, up +12.9% year-over-year, while price per square foot sits near $440. Reattracts broader 11743 figure lands higher, at a median of roughly $1,029,175 across the past twelve months of sales (706 properties sold).
• Zillow estimate: The Zillow Home Value Index for 11743 shows an average home value of $903,502, up 1.3% year-over-year again, a smoothed average rather than a point-in-time median, so expect it to sit a bit below the raw median sale figures.
• Market speed: 11743 is rated a highly competitive market Redfin scores it 84/100, with homes fielding about 5 offers on average and going under contract in roughly 22–23 days.
• Town-wide context: Zooming out to Huntington overall (not just 11743), Redfin's three-month rolling data through May 2026 shows a median sale price of $917K, down about 4% year-over-year, at $502/sq ft (up 8.2%) a sign that even within one town, different neighborhoods and price tiers are moving in different directions right now.
• Financing backdrop: As of late March 2026, Freddie Mac put the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate at 6.38%, which continues to shape affordability. On a $953,500 median-priced Huntington home with 20% down, that pencils out to roughly $4,760/month in principal and interest alone, before taxes and insurance.
• Buyer profile: One local market report note that nearly 68% of Huntington homebuyers commute to or work in New York City, and their income levels have helped the local market absorb higher rates better than many other regions on Long Island.

Bottom line for Huntington/11743: still a seller's market by most measures, though pricing is starting to show more neighborhood-by-neighborhood variation than it did a year ago Huntington Village and Southdown remain premium, while Huntington Station and South Huntington offer relatively more accessible entry points in the $650K–$700K range.

What This Means If You're Buying or Selling in Northport or Huntington, NY

• Sellers: With Northport still posting double-digit year-over-year price gains and Huntington's 11743 zip staying highly competitive, well-prepared, well-priced listings are still moving quickly and often at or above asking.
• Buyers: More new listings hitting the market in Northport this spring and summer, plus signs of price softening in some Huntington segments, mean there's slightly more room to negotiate than in 2024's frenzy but competitive properties are still drawing multiple offers.
• Everyone: Because Redfin, Zillow, Realtor.com, and MLS-fed sites like Movoto and Realtytrac each calculate "median" and "average" differently (and pull from different date ranges), it's worth reviewing current, hyper-local comps not just headline zip-code numbers before pricing a listing or making an offer.

Thinking about buying or selling in Northport, Huntington, or elsewhere on Long Island's North Shore? I'd be glad to walk you through current comps, active listings, and a personalized pricing or offer strategy.
