March 2026 Staten Island Real Estate Market Update
Prices Rise as Inventory Expands Across Staten Island
As we move into spring, the Staten Island real estate market continues to show strong momentum. March 2026 brought rising home values, increased inventory, and continued buyer demand across residential and multi-family properties.
According to the latest MLS data for Richmond County, 233 homes sold in March, with a median sold price of $760,000. This marks an increase from February’s median sold price of $710,000, signaling continued strength in home values across the borough.
March 2026 Market Snapshot
Homes Sold: 233
Median Sold Price: $760,000
Days on Market: 70
Sale-to-List Price Ratio: 97.31%
Current Active Listings: 803
New Listings: 439
Home Prices Continue to Climb
March saw the median list price reach $768,000 and the median sold price come in at $760,000, showing that buyers remain willing to pay close to asking price for well-presented homes.
Homes sold at an average of 97.31% of their list price, which is slightly stronger than February’s 96.86%.
This tells us something important: homes that are priced correctly and marketed strategically are still generating strong buyer interest.
For sellers, this is encouraging news. The market continues to reward homes that show well, are updated, and are positioned properly from day one.
More Inventory Means More Choices for Buyers
One of the biggest changes in March was inventory.
A total of 439 new listings entered the market, compared to 276 in February. Current active listings also increased to 803 homes, up from 596 the month before.
For buyers, this creates more opportunity.
- more neighborhoods to choose from
- more price points
- less pressure than peak seller-market conditions
- better ability to compare homes before making an offer
That said, desirable homes in sought-after Staten Island neighborhoods are still moving quickly.
Days on Market Slightly Increased
Homes spent an average of 70 days on market in March, up slightly from 65 days in February.
This small increase is not unusual as inventory grows.
Rather than signaling a slowdown, it often reflects buyers having more options and taking a bit more time to make decisions.
For sellers, this means preparation matters more than ever:
- professional photography
- proper staging
- strategic pricing
- strong online exposure
These are the factors that help listings stand out.
Joann’s Market Insight ✦
What I’m seeing across Staten Island is a market that remains healthy and active, but increasingly selective. The gap between homes that are priced strategically and those that are priced aspirationally continues to widen. Well-positioned homes are still attracting strong offers, while overpriced homes are sitting longer. As inventory continues to rise into the spring market, pricing and presentation will be key to maximizing value.
