Search "Woodbury NY home prices" this week and you will collect four different numbers before lunch. One site puts the median list price at $2.05 million as of July 2026. A Woodbury-focused directory pegs the single-family median at just over $1,050,000. A national value estimator lands near $1.41 million. A fourth source, tracking actual closed conveyances through late July, averages single-family sales at $2.24 million.
These are not old numbers pulled from different years. They describe the same ZIP code, the same summer, and in most cases the same few weeks. A buyer trying to use any single figure to decide whether a listing is fairly priced is working with a number that cannot do the job it's being asked to do.
Four Numbers, One ZIP Code
Here's what a same-season snapshot actually looks like when you line the sources up side by side.
| Source type | What it reported | Time window |
|---|---|---|
| National listing feed (active) | $2.05M median list, $559/sq ft, 47 days on market | July 2026 |
| Woodbury-focused local directory | $1,050,000+ single-family median | 2026 |
| National value estimator | $1.41M median value, $1.6M median list, range $153K to $5M | 2026 |
| Flat-fee sale tracker (closed) | $2.24M average single-family sale, $1.21M average condo | Updated late July 2026 |
That's a spread of more than $1.1 million between the low end and the high end, reported in the same stretch of 2026. None of these sources is wrong. They're measuring different slices of the same hamlet and calling the result "Woodbury."
The Problem With Counting Three Sales
Earlier in 2026, one widely used listing feed reported that Woodbury's median sale price had jumped 101 percent year over year, to $1.8 million, based on three recorded sales that month. Three. The same feed showed days on market stretching from 72 days a year earlier to 234 days. A jump like that isn't a market signal. It's what happens when a median is built from a handful of transactions and one unusual closing can swing the whole number.
The distortion runs deeper than sample size. Among the closed transactions recorded for Woodbury in mid-2026, one entry at 53 Chestnut Lane sold for $300,000 and was logged simply as a 1.2-acre lot, not a finished house. Land parcels, teardowns, and finished five-bedroom colonials all get counted in the same "homes sold" feed. A median built on that mix tells you almost nothing about what a comparable, move-in-ready house actually costs, because the dataset isn't comparing like to like in the first place.
Which Woodbury Are You Actually Shopping
The real explanation for the spread is that "Woodbury" is not one housing product. It's at least three, sitting inside the same ZIP code and often the same school assignment, priced on entirely different scales.
HOA townhome and condo communities. Woodbury Village, Woodbury Greens, Woodland Pond, and The Woodlands are low-maintenance communities with pools, tennis courts, and landscaping included, and a newer entrant, Sagamore at Mills Pond, has added amenity-driven luxury townhomes to the same category. Attached-home listings in Woodbury more broadly have closed and listed recently from $659,000 for a two-bedroom unit up to $899,000 for a two-bedroom with more square footage, giving a sense of the entry band for this tier.
Standard single-family streets. Ordinary resale colonials, ranches, and splanches on quarter-acre to half-acre lots have closed from the high $900,000s to roughly $1.5 million in sales dated late May through mid-July 2026, the kind of housing stock that makes up most of the hamlet's day-to-day turnover.
Gated luxury new construction. The Gates of Woodbury and Hunters Run are gated enclaves, with Hunters Run specifically operating as a 24-hour gated community. Recent examples include a five-bedroom on Kodiak Drive in the Gates of Woodbury listed at $2,388,000, and a six-bedroom on Clearmeadow Court in Hunters Run listed at $2,299,999. New construction elsewhere in Woodbury has listed as high as $2,988,000 on lots approaching a full acre. Drawbridge Estates rounds out this tier with move-in-ready five-bedroom center hall colonials.
Three products, three price tiers, one hamlet name. Blend them into a single median and you get a number that describes none of them accurately.
One more wrinkle worth knowing before you start comparing notes with a friend in a different town: at least one Woodbury-focused site felt the need to add a formal clarification paragraph explaining that Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, the shopping center, is in Central Valley in Orange County, roughly 45 miles north, and has nothing to do with this Woodbury in Nassau County. If professional listing sites have to correct that confusion in writing, a generic search result is not a reliable place to start your research.
What This Means Before You Write an Offer or Set a List Price
If you're a buyer, the hamlet-wide median is the wrong benchmark. The comparable set you want is the specific product tier: other Gates of Woodbury listings if that's where you're shopping, other Woodbury Village or Woodbury Greens closings if you're looking at a townhome, other standard resale colonials if that's your lane. Pull comps from the same tier, not the same ZIP code, and the number will actually predict what you're likely to pay.
If you're selling, the same logic cuts the other way. A Woodbury Village townhome priced off a "Woodbury median" that includes Gates of Woodbury new construction will look wildly underpriced to an appraiser and wildly overpriced to a buyer scrolling townhome listings. The fix is the same: price against your actual comparable set, not the label on the map.
Woodbury also sits inside the Syosset Central School District and gets LIRR access to Manhattan through Syosset Station, with an express run of roughly 45 minutes. Those facts are constant across every tier of the hamlet, which is part of why the price gap between tiers is so wide. Buyers are paying for lot size, gate access, and finish level within a shared district and shared commute, not for a different location entirely.
A Few Direct Answers
Is Woodbury, NY the same place as the outlet mall? No. Woodbury, NY 11797 is a Nassau County hamlet in the Town of Oyster Bay. Woodbury Common Premium Outlets is in Central Valley, Orange County, about 45 miles away.
Why do median price reports for Woodbury vary so much between sites? Different sources pull from different transaction sets, different time windows, and different mixes of property types, including land parcels and condos alongside single-family homes. With relatively few monthly sales, a single unusual transaction can swing the reported median significantly.
How many distinct communities make up "Woodbury"? At minimum three tiers worth knowing before you compare prices: HOA townhome and condo communities such as Woodbury Village and Woodbury Greens, standard single-family resale streets, and gated luxury new construction such as The Gates of Woodbury and Hunters Run.
What school district covers Woodbury? Syosset Central School District serves the hamlet.
