PropertyShark reports a Stapleton median sale price of $980,000 for Q3 2026, up 53.2% year over year, on three sales, down 40%. Median price per square foot was $380, up 17%. Three sales is far too small a sample to call a trend, so a Stapleton two-family or three-family should be priced against specific recent comparable sales and its rent roll, not against that median.
PropertyShark counts 851 residential buildings in Stapleton: 449 single-family, 396 two-to-four family, 4 condo buildings, 1 co-op and 1 other residential building. Two-to-four family buildings are about 47% of the stock, based on those counts. A multi-family seller in Stapleton is selling into a neighborhood where the typical alternative for a buyer is another two-to-four family house.
PropertyShark counts 6 of 851 Stapleton residential buildings in a flood zone and 124 in a hurricane evacuation zone, which is about 15%. Of the 124 evacuation-zone buildings, 62 are single-family and 57 are two-to-four family. Insurance and lender requirements follow the zone, so a buyer should check the exact address before pricing an offer.
The certificate of occupancy sets how many legal units a Stapleton house has, and the legal unit count decides whether it is priced as a two-family, a three-family or a one-family with an unpermitted apartment. Joseph Ranola reads the certificate of occupancy before listing so the asking price matches the legal use. The full process is in the guide to a certificate of occupancy when selling a home.
Joseph Ranola prices multi-family houses with the legal unit count, the flood status and the recent sales on the table instead of guessing. Joseph Ranola serves every neighborhood across Staten Island and Brooklyn, from Tottenville to Williamsburg.
