LIBOR Stats Pulse: Prospecting with Equity & Ownership Tenure Data

Tens of thousands of Long Island owners might be ready to move

Long Island is home to tens of thousands of owners who have built significant equity and lived in their homes for over 15 years, making them prime candidates for upsizing, downsizing, or relocating. With the New York Metro median homeownership tenure at 15.2 years (2025), equity and tenure stats help paint a picture of areas for listing outreach and relationship-building with long-time owners.

For example, the stats below reveal residential homeowners across Suffolk, Nassau, and Queens counties, in addition to a few popular areas, that have both:

• 50% or more in home equity
• 15 years or more in ownership tenure
  

Suffolk: 90,000+ countywide
Popular area: Lindenhurst – 2,194 such owners

Nassau: 80,000+ countywide
Popular area: Manhasset – 516 such owners

Queens: 70,000+ countywide
Popular area: Astoria – 3,435 such owners
