As of November 2, 2026, there are 432 new construction homes listed for sale across Nassau and Suffolk on my site. Most people searching "new homes on Long Island" picture a big development full of matching houses. That's not what Long Island new construction looks like anymore. Most of it is one new house on an existing street, where an older home used to be.
Below is where the new construction actually is right now, what it costs in Nassau versus Suffolk, the New York warranty most buyers have never heard of, and what I'd check before signing anything with a builder.

|---|---|---|---|
| Nassau | 190 | About $1.7 million | 5 |
| Suffolk | 242 | About $1.4 million | 100 |
Towns with the most new construction listings right now:
Levittown leading the list surprises people, but it makes sense. The original houses sit on lots that can fit a much bigger home, so builders buy the old house, take it down and build new. If you're looking there, see my Levittown new construction guide.
From Copiague west through Massapequa, Massapequa Park, Seaford, Wantagh, Bellmore and Merrick, plus Levittown, Bethpage, Farmingdale and East Meadow, there are 68 new construction listings, with a median asking price of about $1.5 million. Most are individual new homes on existing streets, not developments.
These numbers are a snapshot. New listings hit every day and others go to contract. Counts are grouped by the town name on each listing, and some Farmingdale and Amityville mailing addresses cross county lines.
See every current new construction listing, then filter by town, price, bedrooms and more. Save the search and you'll get new ones the day they hit the market.
Nassau has very little open land left, so new construction here is mostly one house at a time: an older home comes down and a new one goes up on the same lot. That's why only 5 of the 190 Nassau listings are under $1 million.
It also means a brand-new house can sit between 70-year-old capes and ranches. That's not a bad thing, but it matters for value. A new house can still be overpriced if the street won't support the number. I always look at what the best homes on that block have actually sold for, not just what other new builds are asking.
Suffolk has more land, so you'll see a wider mix: individual new homes, small subdivisions, townhouses, condos and 55+ communities. That's why the median is lower and roughly 4 in 10 Suffolk listings are under $1 million.
More choice also means more to compare. Community fees, lot size, taxes, builder track record and resale demand all vary a lot from one Suffolk project to the next.
New York law builds a warranty into the sale of a new home. It's called the housing merchant implied warranty, under General Business Law § 777-a. It runs from the warranty date, generally when the first owner takes title:
Three things to know:
Your attorney should walk you through the warranty in your specific contract. This is exactly the kind of thing that gets skimmed at signing and matters a year later.
Builder contracts are not the same as a typical resale contract. They often cover deposits, completion dates, construction delays, material substitutions and upgrades in ways that favor the builder. Have your attorney review it before you sign.
Model homes are usually loaded with upgrades. Cabinets, flooring, lighting, appliances, countertops, landscaping, finished basements and decks can add up fast. Get the included features in writing.
The builder's sales team works for the builder. If you want your own representation, involve your broker before you tour or register. Builder policies on outside brokers vary, and registering on your own first can complicate it.
Rate buydowns, closing-cost credits and upgrade packages can be worth real money. They can also be tied to a specific lender or offset somewhere else in the price. The question isn't "what's the incentive?" It's "what's the total cost compared with my other options?"
Depending on inventory and how long a house has been sitting, a builder may move on price, upgrades or closing costs. Sometimes they won't move at all. Knowing what comparable homes actually sold for is what gives you leverage.
New doesn't mean perfect. A new home is built by a lot of different trades over months, and mistakes happen. An independent inspection can catch problems while the builder is still on the hook to fix them. Ask whether the builder allows inspections at different stages of construction, and see my home inspection guide.
The tax number on a new construction listing may reflect the old house, vacant land or a home that hasn't been fully assessed yet. Once the new home is assessed as completed, the bill can be very different. Have your attorney and lender look into the real tax picture before you commit. And if you think an assessment is off later, here's my guide to appealing property taxes in Nassau and Suffolk.
Most of my new construction buyers already own a home. That's where it gets tricky. Construction dates move because of permits, weather, materials and inspections, and your sale has to line up with a closing date that may slide.
Before you sign with a builder, know what your current home is worth, whether the builder allows a home-sale contingency, and what the contract says if completion is delayed. Planning both sides together keeps you from being forced into a rushed decision.
Start with what your current home is worth. Then we can plan the timing around the build.
New gets you modern layouts and systems, and nothing to renovate on day one. Resale can get you a bigger lot, mature trees, an established block, or a location where nobody is building. In Nassau especially, you often pay a real premium for new. Whether it's worth it depends on the house and the street. I'd always compare both before deciding.
As of November 2, 2026, there were 432 new construction listings on my site: 190 in Nassau County and 242 in Suffolk County. The number changes daily.
Generally, yes. As of November 2, 2026, the median asking price was about $1.4 million in Suffolk versus about $1.7 million in Nassau. About 100 Suffolk new construction listings were under $1 million, compared with 5 in Nassau.
As of November 2, 2026, Levittown had the most new construction listings (21), followed by Hicksville (17), Westbury (15) and Rocky Point (15).
Yes. New York's housing merchant implied warranty (General Business Law § 777-a) covers construction defects for 1 year, plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling and ventilation for 2 years, and material defects for 6 years. A builder may substitute a limited warranty under conditions set by law, so review it with your attorney before signing.
You don't have to, but the builder's sales team represents the builder. If you want your own broker, involve them before your first visit or registration, since builder policies on outside brokers vary.
Not always. The listed taxes may reflect the old house or land before the new home was fully assessed. Confirm the expected taxes with your attorney and lender.
