PropertyShark reports a Midwood blended median sale price of $999K for Q3 2026, up 2.7% year over year, on 94 transactions, down 13%. Its property-type split shows houses at a $1.5M median, down 9.4%, on 58 sales, and co-ops at $310K, down 5.3%, on 33 sales.
Co-ops are one third of the sales and pull the blended median far below what a house costs. An investor pricing a Midwood multi-family off $999K would underbid by hundreds of thousands of dollars, so Joseph Ranola leads with the house median. The page does not state whether its house category includes two-to-four family homes, so Joseph Ranola confirms the comparable sales address by address.
It has the stock for it. PropertyShark lists 4,111 two-to-four family homes in Midwood. Whether a particular building works depends on its legal unit count, its certificate of occupancy, the rent roll and the rent regulation status of each unit.
Joseph Ranola is a real estate broker, not an attorney, a CPA or a DOB expediter. Rent regulation, tax treatment and certificate of occupancy questions go to professionals in those fields before an investor commits.
It changes the entry price. The PropertyShark house median fell 9.4% year over year while sales volume fell 13%, which means fewer buyers are paying lower prices. Joseph Ranola reads that as a negotiating signal for a patient buyer, not a guarantee, because the quarterly figure comes from a small number of closings.
Investors should underwrite a deal on its own numbers, including taxes, insurance, repairs and a vacancy allowance, rather than on a neighborhood trend.
Verify the legal use, the leases, the rent regulation status of every unit and the open violations. Joseph Ranola requests the certificate of occupancy, the lease for each unit and the rent roll before an offer is written.
PropertyShark states that Midwood properties are not designated as at risk from fire, flood or hurricane activity, but that is a page statement and not an official finding. Joseph Ranola checks the address against the city flood maps.
