JANUARY 2024
The Staten Island real estate market has greeted the new year with positive momentum, demonstrating robust growth and increased activity which bodes well for both sellers and investors.
January's statistics show a healthy increase in property values, with the average price of homes reaching $714,000, up by 6% year-over-year (YOY). This growth is even more pronounced in the median price, which saw an 8% YOY increase to $681,000, highlighting a strong upward trend in property valuation across the board.
In terms of discounts, buyers are finding less room to negotiate, with the average discount dipping to 5.6%, a reduction of 3% from the previous year. This suggests sellers are holding firmer on their listing prices, reflecting confidence in the market's strength.
Inventory levels have seen a significant surge, with available properties jumping to 797, marking a remarkable 29% YOY increase. This suggests that sellers are becoming more eager to list their properties, potentially due to the attractive price increments. *I would like to say that the number appears to be skewed- I believe that there was a mishap with January 2023’s recorded numbers. Nonetheless inventory does appear to be increasing
Sales activity remains steady, with 240 homes sold, a slight improvement of 2% YOY. This modest rise indicates a consistent demand and a stable pace in the Staten Island housing market. The January 2024 statistics point to a market that’s gaining steam, with rising property values and an expanding inventory, offering ample opportunities for sellers to capitalize on their investments and for buyers to find their desired homes amidst a wider selection of listings.
