After a bit of a hiatus, we finally sat down to talk the latest real estate market data we have- and much of it will surprise you!

There's a lot to unpack here. First, the average home sale price of $570k fell over the previous month, and last year. This is the FIRST time this has happened in several years, and offers pretty strong proof that the market has slowed down. For the last six months, prices had fluctuated but still remained higher than the previous year.

We also had just 261 sales last month! Again, the slowest activity we have seen in 2+ years, this time when it comes to sales volume. We do have a good clue as to why this is happening. Even though the average sale price is $4k LESS than last year, the average new list price is…

Near the beach, some of Staten Island’s top schools, and the endless shopping and dining options of New Dorp, 31 Gail Court is in the center of all the fun! This home has been completely renovated and is move-in ready.

This attached townhouse has plenty of space at around 1,500 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It also boasts a one-car garage and two parking spots.

The outside of the home is finished with vinyl siding in white on the top, with a warm light brown siding around the garage and front door. Read on to find out all this home has to offer!

Beyond the beautiful wood and glass front door, you’re greeted by the entry hallway. This area has dark bamboo floors and leads into the family room. This level also has…

A large and bright semi-attached colonial home just hit the market in Westerleigh, one of Staten Island’s most sought-after neighborhoods! On a quiet tree-lined street just one block from beloved Westerleigh Park, location just doesn’t get any better than this!

At almost 2,000 square feet, in addition to a cute backyard and semi-finished basement, you’ll have plenty of space to move around! Built in 1925, this well-kept property retains all the charm from generations ago with some nice updates.

From the outside the home greets you first with a quaint vinyl siding and bay window. The front yard is clean and tiny with a grassy lawn, shrubs, and tall tree facing the street. To the right is a white fence leading to the backyard’s side entrance.

For investors with development plants, families looking to expand, or a house hunter who wants more space explore, 27 Sideview Avenue is framed in lovely trees and has double the yard space of a typical Bullshead home!

This single family colonial home will reach its centennial next year! Built in 1920, the home has been kept up nicely and still maintains that old world charm. 27 Sideview Avenue has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a 60x100 lot- actually, two separate taxable lots within this property. Zoning allows the builder to construct another home if desired!

From the first impression, you can see the home is quietly set back from the street with a large front yard. The outside features a grey vinyl siding in good condition.

Past the classic…

(Pictured above: Monthly home sales have dropped precipitously over the last few months in the Staten Island market)

Home sellers have been reluctant to accept the market slowdown, insisting that prices are still up over the last year. That is now no longer the case.

The average home sale price in March came in at $570,088. This is down $13,426 from the prior month and $4,171 lower than one year ago.

Not only are prices down, but other indicators have also slowed considerably. March had only 261 closed sales, the lowest in 2+ years and down from 322 last March. Sold to list price ratio is down to 96.2%, tied with the prior month for a two-year low.

Month’s inventory is up to 7.46, another two-year high. This means it would take 7 1/2 months to…
