Probably not, unless you need to move. The Sold Score for Astoria is 30/100 in August 2026 (Challenging Market Conditions) — homes still close, but you'll likely accept a longer timeline or a lower price than a year ago.

Pending ratio is 0.25 — the higher this is, the faster contracts come in relative to standing inventory. Active inventory is down +2.5% year over year, tightening the pool you're competing in. Median days on market sit at 81. 41.5% of active listings have already reduced asking price.

  "answer": "Selling a home in Astoria right now means navigating a market where prices have seen a slight dip. Homes are also taking a bit longer to find a buyer compared to last year.

Looking at prices, the median listing price is $615,000. This is down 1.6% compared to a year ago, and down a small 0.8% from the prior month. The median price per square foot has also decreased by 2.6% over the past year.

It's taking a bit longer for homes to sell. The median days on market is currently 81 days, which is 14.1% longer than it was a year ago. Also, almost three out of ten homes (28.0%) have had their prices reduced.

While the number of homes for sale (active listings) is slightly lower than last year, there are more new homes coming onto the market. New listings are up 13.3% compared to a year ago, with 68 new homes listed in the most recent month.

If you're thinking of selling, be aware that homes are spending more time on the market and prices are a little softer than they were a year ago. Pricing your home competitively from the start will be important."
