One sale doesn't set the value of every home in Glen Cove. But closed sales show what buyers have actually paid recently, and how much a home's details matter.
- Similar-size homes have mostly sold between about $740,000 and $905,000 since July.
- Size, condition, layout, parking and the lot drive the number more than the street name does. One sale is not your value.
