North Shore, Long Island · Single Family Residences
Market Report —
May 2026.
A data-driven look at the single family home market across Port Washington, Manhasset, and Roslyn — sourced directly from Realtors Property Resource®.
Port Washington 11050
What the numbers tell us
Port Washington had a strong May. Homes sold at 112% of asking — a significant jump from April's 103% — and inventory dropped to 2.56 months, down nearly 29% month over month. The median sold price of $1,522,500 is essentially flat with last month, and days on market ticked up slightly to 20. Overall this is a confident seller's market with buyers competing aggressively.
What it means for you
If you are selling: the 112% sold-to-list ratio tells you buyers are in bidding wars here. A well-priced, well-prepared home should attract multiple offers. If you are buying: expect to go over asking. Pre-approval and decisiveness are essential — well-priced homes are not sitting.
Manhasset 11030
What the numbers tell us
Manhasset bounced back strongly in May. The sold-to-list ratio jumped to 108.3% — up 10% from April — and days on market dropped to 19, down nearly 27%. Inventory tightened to 2.54 months. The median sold price held at $2,400,000, essentially flat with last month. This is Manhasset firing on all cylinders again after a more measured April.
What it means for you
If you are selling in Manhasset: May's data is excellent news. Buyers are competing again and paying well above asking. If you are buying: the window is narrow — 19 days on market means you need to be ready to move. Work with an agent who knows what is coming before it hits the MLS.
Roslyn 11576
What the numbers tell us
Roslyn shows improvement in May in several key areas. Days on market dropped to 34 — down 30.61% from April's 49 — and the sold-to-list ratio held near 100% at 99.9%. The median sold price settled at $1,850,000. Inventory continues to rise, now at 5 months, which remains the highest of the three markets. Still a seller's market, but buyers have options and time here that they don't in Port Washington or Manhasset.
What it means for you
If you are selling in Roslyn: the improvement in days on market is encouraging, but 5 months of inventory means your home needs to be priced and presented correctly from day one. If you are buying: this remains the most negotiable market of the three — more selection, more time, and a sold-to-list ratio right at asking.

All three markets are
seller's markets.
But not equally.
At 112% sold-to-list and inventory down to 2.56 months, Port Washington is in full bidding war territory in May. Days on market ticked up slightly to 20, but homes priced correctly are moving fast and trading well above asking. A strong month for sellers.
After a more measured April, Manhasset roared back in May — 108.3% sold-to-list, 19 days on market, and inventory tightening to 2.54 months. The $2,400,000 median held firm. This is the tightest and most competitive market on the North Shore right now.
Days on market dropped significantly to 34 and the sold-to-list ratio held at 99.9% — both positive signals. But with 5 months of inventory, Roslyn remains the most buyer-friendly of the three markets. Sellers need strong pricing and presentation to stand out.
