📊 Why this data is more reliable than other sites
The numbers on this page come from the NYC Department of Finance public records — every legally recorded property sale in Bayside, not just MLS-listed transactions. Sites like Zillow and StreetEasy only capture listings that go through their platforms, missing FSBO sales, off-market deals, and transfers that never hit the MLS. This dataset includes all of them.
We also remove bulk portfolio transfers, nominal sales, and non-arms-length transactions that would distort median prices — cleaning that most data sources don't do. The result is a more accurate picture of what individual homes are actually selling for in your market.
Data source: NYC Department of Finance — Queens rolling sales file, with July 2025 taken from the DOF annualized sales file to complete the 12-month period. Period: July 2025 – June 2026. Excludes $0 transfers, nominal sales, non-arms-length transactions, and bulk portfolio transfers identified through same-date/same-price pattern analysis. Last updated: August 2026.
Best Time to Sell in Bayside
Monthly closing volume based on 688 residential sales recorded by the NYC Department of Finance over the past 12 months. Months highlighted in orange indicate above-average demand (≥110% of the average monthly volume).
Takeaway for Sellers
Bayside sees its strongest closing activity in August, September, and October — the months highlighted in orange above. These peaks indicate when buyer demand is highest and the most transactions close.
Since the typical sale takes 3 months from listing to closing you should be listing approximately 3 months before these peak windows to position your home when competition among buyers is strongest.
The optimal listing date depends on your property type, your timeline, and current inventory levels. A strategy session can pinpoint the right window for your specific home.

What This Means for Sellers
Bayside is a single-family market — 36.8% of recent sales. Buyers here are almost entirely owner-occupants, so condition, layout, and school zone carry more weight than rental math. Financing is conventional and the appraisal is driven by nearby closed sales of similar houses, which means the comp set behind your price needs to be tight — same legal use, same lot type, same block pattern. Presentation and preparation move the number more here than in investor-driven markets.
