📊 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 Kew Gardens, 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, Rolling Sales Data — Queens. Period: March 2025 – February 2026. Excludes $0 transfers, nominal sales, non-arms-length transactions, and bulk portfolio transfers identified through same-date/same-price pattern analysis. Last updated: March 2026.
