Both halves of that matter. Against July the market slowed by 7 days, and against the same month last year it is still 5 days quicker. A single month that moves in one direction against the month before and the other against the year before is usually seasonal rather than structural.
The figure that moved most over the longer run is price per square foot, at $462 against $433 in July and $369 in August 2025. That is a rise of about 25 percent on the year, and it is by some distance the largest move in any Lindenhurst figure across these three months.
The median sale price barely moved at all: $672,000, against $682,500 in July and $675,000 in August 2025. A flat median with a much higher figure per square foot means the houses selling now are smaller than the ones selling a year ago, at much the same total price.
Sellers also did better against their asking prices than in either comparison month, at 75.76 percent of sales closing at or above asking, against 66.67 percent in July and 65.71 percent in August 2025. Volume was 33 closed sales, against 30 and 35.
On a smaller and older housing stock like Lindenhurst's, a rise in price per square foot alongside a flat median is worth reading carefully, and the annual tax bill still decides what a house costs to hold once it is bought. Against July, yes: 23 days on market against 16. Against August 2025 it is still faster, 23 days against 28. Is the Lindenhurst market slowing? It was $462 against $369 in August 2025, roughly 25 percent higher, while the median sale price was almost unchanged. That combination indicates smaller houses selling at similar total prices. Why is price per square foot up so much? More than in either comparison month. 75.76 percent of August sales closed at or above asking, against 66.67 percent in July and 65.71 percent in August 2025.
