Market report
Rockaway Beach Real Estate Market Report
Rockaway Beach home sales, in perspective
Rockaway Beach's record is one of the clearest examples on the coast of the change from the exceptionally competitive early-pandemic market to a more measured one. In 2021 and 2022, market times were short and a majority of recorded sales closed at or above their original list price. In the more recent years, homes have generally taken much longer to sell and below-list negotiation has become substantially more common, while the middle of the price distribution has stayed comparatively stable. The figures below combine the Rockaway Beach and Nedonna Beach boundaries into one report.
That combined market holds several different coastal settings: Downtown Rockaway Beach, Manhattan Beach, Twin Rocks, Lake Lytle and the quieter residential streets of Nedonna Beach, along with inland areas near the Cedar Wetlands. Ocean proximity, lake frontage, view, vacation-oriented housing and conventional residential streets all appear within a relatively compact area. Rather than treating those properties as interchangeable, use the date controls below to narrow the range and see changes in price distribution and market time directly.

How this is calculated
Every figure on this page is computed from recorded RMLS sales inside the Rockaway Beach and Nedonna Beach boundaries. 360 sales since October 27, 2020. No estimates, no models.
- Single-family homes only — condominiums, land and commercial sales are excluded.
- Individual sales are shown by price and date. No property is identified by address.
- Market time prefers the cumulative figure, which survives a relisting, and falls back to days on market where RMLS records no cumulative one. The number of sales behind each median is shown beside it.
- “Sold at or above list price” compares the closing price with the price the listing opened at. A seller may hold their list price and accept a lower offer, so this measures the gap rather than a price reduction.
- “Cash sales” counts sales RMLS records as financed by cash alone, as a share of the sales where financing was recorded at all. Where RMLS records no financing the sale is left out of that figure rather than counted as not cash.
