Quarterly Trends
The numbers on this page come from the NYC Department of Finance public records — every legally recorded property sale in Richmond Hill, 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.
