Over the recorded series, Piney Island’s median sold price moved from $280,000 (2014) to $529,500 (12 months ending 2026-08-05) — +89% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2014 at $280,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Piney Island’s median moved +14% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2025 peak of $1,200,000, the current median stands at -56%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 6 closings a year (10-yr average 3.4). Small-community medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure in the table above.
What actually trades here: 96% single family residence, 2% townhouse, 2% manufactured home, with a median of 2,327 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $236 in the current window. Price-per-square-foot is the cleaner yardstick when comparing your home to the medians — it corrects for the size mix in any given year.
Current asking prices run a median $600,000 against the $529,500 recorded sold median (+13%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 3 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 67% of Piney Island’s listings are under contract, against 25% for ZIP 32034 and 29% for Nassau County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings. Since 2006, 57 Piney Island listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (5 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 53% of Piney Island listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 62%. Momentum’s market-heat index for Piney Island reads 19/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 100% of recorded Piney Island sales in the window ending 2025-07 (4 of 4) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. For buyers, the same table reads the other way: the sold medians above are what the market has actually been paying — an asking price meaningfully above the recent closed record, in a community absorbing at the rates shown, is an opening position, not a value.
The pattern in the statewide failure data applies here too: homes priced against the latest closed sales sell; homes priced against hope join the 201,552 that didn’t. The table above is the closed-sale record to price against.
