Which Long Island ZIP codes have the most real estate activity? Based on residential sales reported for the 12 months ending May 31, 2026, ZIP code 11746, covering Huntington Station and portions of Dix Hills, recorded the highest number of home sales on Long Island. It was followed by 11743 in Huntington, 11772 in the Patchogue area, 11758 in Massapequa and 11561 in Long Beach.

For buyers and sellers, these numbers provide a useful look at where the greatest number of homes are changing hands. High sales volume does not necessarily mean that a community is better, more affordable or appreciating faster than another. It simply shows where the largest number of residential transactions occurred during the period studied.

Top 10 Long Island ZIP Codes by Home Sales

Annual sales cover the 12 months ending May 31, 2026. Median sale price and median days on market reflect the latest three-month reporting period ending May 31, 2026. Figures include all residential property types reported in the source data.

What Does “Housing Turnover” Mean?

In real estate, turnover can be measured in two different ways:

1. Sales volume: the total number of homes sold in a particular area.
2. Turnover rate: the number of homes sold divided by the total number of homes in that area.

This report ranks Long Island ZIP codes by sales volume. That answers the practical question: Where did the greatest number of residential properties change hands?

A true turnover-rate ranking could look different because a smaller ZIP code may sell fewer homes but have a larger percentage of its total housing stock turn over. For homeowners, buyers and real estate professionals, total sales volume remains helpful because it identifies communities with the greatest overall transaction activity.

What Stands Out in the 2026 Long Island Data?

11746 Leads Long Island by a Wide Margin

ZIP code 11746 recorded approximately 532 residential sales, averaging more than 44 closings per month. That was about 36% more sales than second-ranked 11743. The ZIP covers Huntington Station and portions of neighboring communities, giving it a large and varied housing base.

Its annual sales volume also increased approximately 9.7% from the comparable prior-year period. Among the largest Long Island markets, that combination of high volume and positive growth stands out.

Massapequa Remains One of Long Island’s Most Active Markets

Massapequa’s 11758 ZIP code recorded approximately 377 sales, placing it fourth on Long Island. Homes sold in a recent median of 27 days, one of the shortest timeframes among the top 10 ZIP codes.

For homeowners in Massapequa, this demonstrates that the community continues to generate significant buyer activity. However, strong ZIP-code-level statistics do not mean every home will sell on the same timeline. Condition, location within the community, property taxes, updates and pricing strategy all influence an individual result.

Homeowners considering a move can request a personalized Pricing Strategy Session to understand how their property compares with recent neighborhood sales.

Levittown Combines Scale With Year-Over-Year Growth

Levittown’s 11756 ZIP code produced approximately 359 sales, or nearly 30 per month. Sales volume increased roughly 7.2% from the prior year.

Levittown’s size, broad housing inventory and central Nassau County location consistently create activity across different price points. Even within Levittown, buyers may evaluate homes differently based on model, dormers and extensions, interior updates, taxes, school-district boundaries and permitted improvements.

Western Suffolk Provides Several High-Volume Markets

Bay Shore and Lindenhurst both ranked in the top eight. ZIP code 11706 recorded approximately 356 sales, while 11757 recorded approximately 341.

This supports what many local buyers experience: Western Suffolk offers a broad mix of housing options while remaining accessible to Nassau County and New York City transportation. Competition can still be significant for properly priced homes, particularly those in appealing condition.

Ridge Recorded the Fastest Growth Among the Top 10

Ridge’s 11961 ZIP code increased from approximately 251 sales during the prior comparable period to 318 sales—a gain of about 26.7%. It also had the lowest recent median sale price among the top 10 at approximately $470,000.

Ridge is farther east than the primary Nassau and Western Suffolk markets served by many buyers, but its growth shows how affordability and available housing options can influence activity across Long Island.

What These Numbers Mean for Long Island Sellers

Living in a high-volume ZIP code can mean there is a larger pool of recent comparable sales and demonstrated buyer demand. It does not guarantee a quick sale or a particular price.

Sellers should still evaluate:

• The most comparable recent sales—not simply the ZIP-code median
• Current competing listings
• Recent price reductions and expired listings
• Property condition and improvements
• Taxes, location and school district
• The relationship between asking prices and actual closing prices

The best pricing strategy is based on what buyers are responding to now, rather than only what a nearby home sold for several months ago.

What These Numbers Mean for Long Island Buyers

Higher sales volume may give buyers more opportunities over the course of a year, but it does not always mean there will be a large number of homes available at one time. A ZIP code can record hundreds of annual sales and still experience limited active inventory.

Buyers should consider the pace of new listings, recent days on market, sale-to-list-price trends and competition within their specific price range. Preparing financing and defining priorities before the right home appears can make the search more productive.

Where Does Farmingdale Rank?

Farmingdale’s 11735 ZIP code recorded approximately 248 residential sales during the same 12-month period, averaging about 21 sales per month. Although that did not place it in the island-wide top 10, it remains an active local market with limited recent inventory and strong competition for well-positioned homes.

For a local brokerage, raw island-wide volume is only part of the opportunity. Community knowledge, neighborhood relationships and a strong understanding of individual property values can be more meaningful than pursuing the ZIP code with the largest overall sales count.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Long Island ZIP code had the most home sales in 2026?

ZIP code 11746, covering Huntington Station and portions of Dix Hills, had the highest reported residential sales volume for the 12 months ending May 31, 2026, with approximately 532 sales.

Which Nassau County ZIP codes were among the most active?

Does a high number of sales mean it is a seller’s market?

Not necessarily. Sales volume measures how many transactions occurred. Determining whether a market favors buyers or sellers also requires looking at active inventory, months of supply, days on market, price reductions and sale-to-list-price ratios.

Is ZIP-code data enough to determine what my home is worth?

No. ZIP-code statistics provide useful context, but a home’s value depends on its immediate location, style, size, condition, taxes, improvements and the most comparable recent sales. A property-specific analysis is more reliable than applying a ZIP-code median to an individual home.

Data and Methodology

This analysis uses ZIP-code-level “All Residential” market data from the Redfin Data Center. Annual sales were calculated using four non-overlapping three-month periods covering June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026. Year-over-year comparisons use the equivalent preceding 12-month period.

The figures are intended to describe broad market activity and may differ from OneKey MLS reports, county deed recordings or brokerage-specific data because of differences in property classifications, reporting coverage and subsequent revisions. This information is not an appraisal or a prediction of future market performance.
