Days on Market (DOM) since Q3 of last year.Single-family residence values continue rising and are selling for nearly 9% more than last year - National average for home sale price increases is 4% since last year per one of BP's most recent podcasts.Multifamily properties in Queens have sold for a median price nearly 6% above last year, jumping from $1,058,000 in Q3 '24 to $1,120,000 in 2024.Lastly, despite inventory increases, the # of sold properties has declined when compared to last year.
