Condos and co-ops together are 205 units, about 37% of the stock, and two-to-four family is the largest single category.

What is the median sale price in Red Hook in 2026?

PropertyShark records only a handful of Red Hook sales per quarter: 4 in Q1 2026 at a $2,117,356 median, 5 in Q2 at $2,475,000, and 3 in Q3 at $985,000. The Q3 figure shows a 62.1% year-over-year drop, and that number is an artifact of three sales, not a market decline. The three Q3 sales were one condo, one co-op and one house. A buyer who reads a headline median for Red Hook is reading a sample too small to price from. Joseph Ranola prices each unit from the building's own closed sales and current comparables.

How much of Red Hook is in a flood zone?

PropertyShark counts 360 residential buildings in Red Hook, with 338 in a flood zone and all 360 in a hurricane evacuation zone. That is about 94% in a flood zone and 100% in an evacuation zone. All 15 condo buildings and all 3 co-op buildings are in both. For a co-op or condo buyer the relevant questions are the building's flood insurance, its reserve fund and whether the board has completed resiliency work, and those are answered in the financial statements and the offering plan.

Should I buy a co-op or a condo in Red Hook?

A condo is real property owned outright, while a co-op is shares in a corporation plus a proprietary lease, so a co-op purchase passes through board approval and a condo purchase usually does not. Red Hook has 157 condo units against 48 co-op units, so condo buyers have more choice and co-op buyers have fewer, often cheaper, options. The choice turns on financing terms, monthly charges and the building's rules on subletting. Joseph Ranola compares monthly carrying cost for a specific co-op and a specific condo side by side before a buyer makes an offer.
