What does an investment property in Richmondtown cost in 2026?

PropertyShark shows a Richmondtown median sale price of $900,000 for Q3 2026, up 20.4% year over year, on 21 sales, down 30%. Median price per square foot is $535, up 13.6%. Houses sold at a $942,000 median, up 26.1%, on 20 sales, and one condo sold at $351,000. Twenty-one sales is a one-quarter reading, not a trend, so an investor should underwrite off specific comparable sales.

How many two-to-four family properties does Richmondtown have?

PropertyShark lists 2,915 residential units in Richmondtown: 2,373 single-family, 445 two-to-four family and 97 condos. Two-to-four family homes are about 15% of the stock, based on those counts. New Dorp, for comparison, has 663 two-to-four family units out of 2,291, about 29%, so an investor who wants a multi-unit building has a smaller pool in Richmondtown.

Is Richmondtown in a flood zone or a historic district?

PropertyShark counts 1 of Richmondtown’s 2,820 residential buildings in a flood zone and none in a hurricane evacuation zone. The Richmond Town Historic District is listed on the New York State Register of Historic Places, and Historic Richmond Town’s own page says that listing covers the museum campus, St. Patrick’s Church and the Church of St. Andrew. Joseph Ranola checks the landmark and zoning status of any specific parcel before an investor makes an offer.

What does financing cost an investor right now?

Freddie Mac reported a 30-year fixed rate of 7.24% on October 29, 2026, down from 7.32% the prior week and up from 6.17% a year earlier. Freddie Mac’s figure is a national conventional average, so an investor should get a written quote from a lender for an investment-property loan before an offer.

Why do Richmondtown investors hire Joseph Ranola?
