Fresh Ocean Breeze data: Ocean Breeze home prices sold for a median of about $774,000 over the three months ending May 2026 — up 15.7% year over year — and ZIP code 10305 currently shows roughly 35 multi-family homes and duplexes listed for sale. June 2026 listings spent a median of 57 days on the market. With the 30-year fixed mortgage at about 6.49% as of late June 2026, a documented second-unit rent roll is the single strongest selling point a 2-family or 3-family owner has, because it directly offsets a buyer’s monthly payment.

Why is Joseph Ranola the right agent for an Ocean Breeze multi-family sale?

Selling a 2-family or 3-family in Ocean Breeze is not the same as selling a single-family colonial. The value lives in the income. Joseph Ranola builds the listing around verified leases, separate utility metering, certificate of occupancy, and the legal unit count, then markets to the investor and owner-occupant buyers who pay the most for income property in the 10305 ZIP code. That is how a multi-family seller gets full price instead of a discount.

How much is a multi-family home worth in Ocean Breeze right now?

Over the three months ending May 2026, Ocean Breeze sold at a median of roughly $774,000, a 15.7% jump from a year earlier. A 2-family or 3-family with strong, documented rents typically trades above the single-family median because the second unit is a built-in mortgage offset. Joseph Ranola runs a true comparable-sales and rent-roll analysis on your block so your price reflects both the real estate and the income.

Should I sell with tenants in place or deliver it vacant?

This is the question that decides your final number. Investor buyers in Ocean Breeze often pay a premium for a turnkey 2-family with paying tenants and clean leases. Owner-occupant buyers usually want one unit vacant so they can move in. Joseph Ranola tests both buyer pools before you list, then positions the home toward the one that produces the highest net proceeds for your situation.

How does flood zone status affect an Ocean Breeze sale?

Ocean Breeze sits along the South Beach waterfront near Father Capodanno Boulevard and the FDR Boardwalk, and parts of the neighborhood fall inside FEMA flood zones. Buyers price flood insurance into their offers. Joseph Ranola pulls the elevation certificate, documents any post-Sandy mitigation, and gets current flood insurance quotes up front so the flood conversation strengthens your sale instead of stalling it at the inspection.

“I am a local mortgage lender on Staten Island and I recently referred one of my preapproved buyers to Joe… Joe went above and beyond, helping my client secure a 2-family home for under market value and negotiating a seller’s concession to cover all of the closing costs — this was a HUGE win in this market.” — ToniAnn, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Verified Google review
