Port Richmond recorded 8 home sales in Q3 2026 at a $702,500 median, and 344 of its 934 residential buildings are two-to-four family, so an investment purchase here is usually a small multi-unit building.

PropertyShark shows a Port Richmond median sale price of $702,500 for Q3 2026, up 31.3% year over year, with a median of $475 per square foot, up 6.6%. That quarter holds only 8 sales, so the year-over-year move is a small-sample reading. Redfin, measuring the three months ending August 2026, shows a $669,677 median, up 10.5%, with 15 homes sold in August, a median of 26 days on market, a 100.4% sale-to-list ratio and 46.5% of homes selling above list price. The two sources use different windows and methods. Neither is a two-family price, because both medians cover every home type, so Joseph Ranola prices an investment against sales of the same building type.
PropertyShark counts 1,067 residential units in Port Richmond: 587 single-family homes, 344 two-to-four family homes and 136 condo units. By building count the page lists 934 residential buildings, so the 344 two-to-four family buildings are about 37% of the buildings. That share is what makes Port Richmond an owner-occupant and rental-income neighborhood. PropertyShark does not publish rents or cap rates, so Joseph Ranola builds the numbers for each building from its actual leases, expenses and comparable sales.
PropertyShark counts 35 of Port Richmond’s 934 residential buildings in a flood zone, about 4%, and 136 of 934 in a hurricane evacuation zone, about 15%. Among two-to-four family buildings the counts are 22 of 344 in a flood zone and 70 of 344 in a hurricane evacuation zone, about 20%. These are building counts and the page does not name the flood map. An investor checks the exact address and gets an insurance quote before making an offer.
A 1031 exchange lets an investor defer federal capital gains tax on real property held for investment by buying replacement property, and the IRS requires a qualified intermediary, identification of replacement property within 45 days and closing within 180 days. Joseph Ranola is a broker and not a tax advisor, so a CPA confirms whether a sale qualifies. Joseph Ranola explains the timeline and the Staten Island and Brooklyn inventory in the 1031 exchange guide.
