OneKey MLS’ service area extends from Montauk to Manhattan, north through the Hudson Valley and the Catskill Mountains.
Three of nine counties in the OneKey MLS market area reported an increased closed median sale price in a month-over-month comparison, while six counties reported a decreased median sale price. Sullivan (+12.00%), Putnam (+1.20%), and Suffolk (+0.70%) counties reported month-over-month increases in closed median sale price.

Richard Haggerty, CEO OneKey MLS, said, “The pandemic induced market conditions of 2020, 2021, and 2022 were extraordinary and price appreciation across our region was steep. Now that home prices are starting to soften, we must remind ourselves to view the market numbers in the context of those unusual circumstances.”
Haggerty said that he remains optimistic that the spring market will be active, but expects a delayed start as people wait to see how the dust settles around the latest headlines, inflation and mortgage rates.
