Staten Island, NY Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 2,022 closed sales in Staten Island over the last six months, with a median closing price of $730,250. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $563,000 and $905,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. The large tracked sample provides substantial market-level evidence. Across the 2,015 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $368 and $536 per square foot.

The Staten Island angle

On Staten Island the last six months produced 2,022 closings in our data, a median closed sale price of $730,250, and a middle half of sales between $563,000 and $905,000. That band is tighter than most markets we track without being unusually narrow, so the median is a reasonable opening reference that still needs comp support before it becomes a number you would defend. The two quartiles sit at roughly equal distance from the median, which means errors in either direction cost about the same and there is no natural direction to lean. Sample depth is a strength here, so match closely rather than settling for whatever closed nearby.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. As of August 2026, the public scoreboard showed 3.26% median error across 12,516+ graded closings. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Staten Island over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track inside the city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 16% of the 2,022 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $750,000.
