Grymes Hill is a hilltop Staten Island neighborhood in ZIP 10301 beside Wagner College. PropertyShark does not publish a Grymes Hill neighborhood page, so this post uses Redfin’s neighborhood data and labels its limits.
Redfin reports a Grymes Hill median sale price of $572,500 for August 2026, down 36.4% year over year, on 10 sales, with a 122-day median time on market, 79 days longer than a year earlier, and a 97.3% sale-to-list ratio. Ten sales is a thin sample and the percentage is likely a mix effect, so Joseph Ranola does not call it a price collapse.
Some. A 122-day median time on market means homes sat, and a 97.3% sale-to-list ratio means they sold slightly under ask. A relocating buyer who can close on a schedule has room to negotiate, but the sample is small.

Your attorney confirms who pays each.
