Staten Island sales rose even with fewer homes for sale

By Vin Antonucci Realtor

Real estate, Staten Island

Hi, I'm Vincent, your trusted real estate agent! Whether you're looking to sell your current home, buy your first place on Staten Island, or just understand what the market is doing, this post is for you.

Here is the one fact that changes what a homeowner should do right now. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 771 homes sold across Staten Island in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 5% from the same three months in 2025. Buyers are still closing deals. Pricing and prep matter more than waiting.

At the same time, Realtor.com reported that mortgage rates climbed above 7% for the first time since January 2025. Higher borrowing costs did not stop sales from rising. That tells you something about how much buyers want to be here.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator also counted only 762 homes for sale across Staten Island in that same period. That is down 14.9% from a year before. Fewer choices for buyers means a well-priced home gets attention.

Pending sales across Staten Island were 775, down 6.1% from a year ago, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is a small, honest dip worth knowing. It means the pipeline is a little softer going forward. Not alarming, but worth watching.

What rates look like from here

Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of listings nationally had price cuts in September 2026. That is the highest share since October 2022. Staten Island is not immune to that pressure. Pricing right from the start matters.

CNBC reported that Fannie Mae forecast a 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 7.4% in the fourth quarter of 2026. Fannie Mae also forecast 7.5% through 2027. Buyers who are waiting for rates to fall may wait a long time.

How each ZIP code read in the same period

The Real Estate Data Aggregator breaks the story down by ZIP code. The numbers below cover the three months ending August 31, 2026. Not every ZIP moved the same way.

ZIP 10307: fastest turnaround on the island

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 38 homes sold in ZIP 10307 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 18.8% from 2025. The median sale price was $967,500, up 1.6%.

Homes in 10307 sat on the market a median of 33 days. That is 21 days shorter than the same period a year ago, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is the biggest speed gain of any ZIP here.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the sale-to-list ratio at 98.9%, up 4.8 points. About 29% of homes sold above list price, up 16.5 points. Inventory fell 18.8% to just 39 homes for sale. Months of supply dropped 1.5 months to 3.1.

ZIP 10309: more sales, but prices dipped a little

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 88 homes sold in ZIP 10309, up 29.4% from 2025. That is a strong gain in volume. But the median sale price slipped to $786,750, down 6.7%.

Days on market rose 9 days to 47, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is the slowest of any ZIP in this report. Pending sales of 91 were up 13.8%, so buyers are still engaged. Months of supply fell to 3.

ZIP 10312: biggest ZIP by volume

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 172 homes sold in ZIP 10312, up 6.8%. The median sale price was $799,500, up 5.9%. Inventory fell 20.9% to 144 homes. Months of supply dropped 0.9 months to 2.6.

Days on market crept up 6 days to 39, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Not every home sold fast. The sale-to-list ratio held at 99%, up 0.6 points.

ZIP 10308: quickest contract signings

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 70 homes sold in ZIP 10308, unchanged from 2025. The median sale price was $760,000, up 1.7%. Homes sold in a median of 28 days, 7 days shorter than a year ago.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put 15.8% of homes in 10308 under contract within two weeks of listing. That is the highest quick-contract share of any ZIP here. The sale-to-list ratio was 99.4%. Inventory rose 23.2% to 85 homes, giving buyers a little more to look at.

ZIP 10306: prices up, sales nearly flat

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 116 homes sold in ZIP 10306, down just 1.7% from 2025. The median sale price rose to $775,000, up 5.4%. Months of supply edged down 0.3 months to 3.3.

Days on market fell 5 days to 33, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. About 29.3% of homes sold above list price, up 8.1 points. Pending sales of 117 were down 6.4%, a small softening to watch.

ZIP 10314: most homes sold of any ZIP

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 203 homes sold in ZIP 10314, up 4.6%. That is the highest count of any ZIP in this report. The median sale price was $741,250, up 1.1%.

Inventory fell 27.1% to 167 homes, the steepest drop of any ZIP, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Months of supply fell 1.1 months to 2.5. Pending sales of 199 were down 15%, so the pipeline is worth watching going forward.

ZIP 10305: the one ZIP where prices and sales both dipped

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 84 homes sold in ZIP 10305, down 7.7% from 2025. The median sale price fell to $720,000, down 4%. That is an honest dip, and the lowest median price of any ZIP here.

Days on market fell 13 days to 42, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Months of supply sits at 4.2, the highest of any ZIP. The sale-to-list ratio was 97.5%. If you own in 10305, pricing carefully matters more here than anywhere else.

The wider picture

The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported that U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. They also rose 0.3% from June to July 2026 on a seasonally adjusted basis. Staten Island's price gains in most ZIP codes are running in line with or ahead of that national pace.

CNBC reported that pending home sales nationally were down 8.5% year over year in September, per Zillow. Staten Island's pending sales fell 6.1%. The island is holding up a little better than the national trend.

One more thing: a single street can read very differently from the whole ZIP code. The numbers above are a starting point, not the final word on your home.
