Red Hook recorded three residential sales in Q3 2026, one condo, one co-op and one house, so a divorcing couple needs a price both sides can defend, not a headline median.

PropertyShark reports a Red Hook median sale price of $985,000 for Q3 2026, down 62.1% from a year earlier, on only 3 sales. Those three sales were one condo at $985,000, one co-op at $84,000 and one house at $2.8 million, so the drop is a mix of property types, not a 62% fall in values. The median price per square foot moved far less, to $1,002, down 6.1%. Joseph Ranola prices a Red Hook home from closed comparables of the same type, which gives both spouses a number their attorneys can test.
PropertyShark counts 548 residential units in Red Hook: 240 two-to-four family, 157 condos, 102 single-family, 48 co-ops and 1 townhouse. Two-to-four family buildings are about 44% of the units, based on those counts, so many divorcing Red Hook owners are dividing a building with tenants in it, and the leases transfer with the sale.
PropertyShark lists 338 of Red Hook’s 360 residential buildings in a flood zone, including 225 of 239 two-to-four family buildings, and all 360 in a hurricane evacuation zone. A buyer’s flood insurance quote affects what that buyer can pay, so Joseph Ranola gathers any flood insurance history and elevation paperwork before listing.
Joseph Ranola is a real estate broker and not an attorney, and this is a legal question for each spouse’s lawyer. New York Domestic Relations Law §236(B) defines marital property by reference to the date a separation agreement is signed or a matrimonial action begins, and it directs that marital property be distributed equitably between the parties. What a broker can do is list only with the authority both owners on the deed have given, keep both spouses equally informed, and present every offer to both.
Joseph Ranola sends every update to both spouses at the same time, works with both attorneys, and builds the price from comparables of the same property type. Joseph Ranola serves every neighborhood across Staten Island and Brooklyn, from Tottenville to Williamsburg.
“I had a fantastic experience working with Joseph. His communication was excellent. He was always responsive, prompt, and genuinely attentive to every call and question. He was diligent throughout the process and worked seamlessly with both sides, helping coordinate my client’s home sale in Staten Island while I helped him with a purchase in New Jersey. The deals lined up perfectly, and I highly recommend his services.” — Madeline McCarthy, verified Google review
