📰Suffolk sales fell by 16.7% in January to 1,342 compared with 2021. In Nassau, the year-over-year drop was 7.3% to 1,172, reflecting Long Island’s severe listings shortage.

◾The median sale price for a home in Nassau County increased 8.2% in January from a year ago to $650,000. In Suffolk, the median was $520,000, or 10.3% higher.
⁠
◾Long Island set a record low number of homes on the market for the third straight month, which has resulted in fewer sales than in January 2021.
⁠
◾Rising mortgage rates could take some buyers out of the market if potential monthly payments increase beyond their budgets. The average rate for a 30-year loan was 3.92% for the week ending Feb. 18, which was the highest it has been since 2019. Still historically low however.
