Westerleigh is a ZIP 10314 neighborhood on the North Shore of Staten Island, and PropertyShark’s June 2026 sales there were all houses. A buyer moving in from out of state or from another borough is, in practice, shopping for a house.
PropertyShark reports a Westerleigh median sale price of $730,000 for Q2 2026, up 3% year over year. Its June 2026 monthly figure is $710,000, up 1.8% year over year, on 9 transactions, all houses, down 10%.
Those two numbers use different windows, so Joseph Ranola does not blend them. Both rest on small samples. A relocating buyer should read them as a range of roughly $710,000 to $730,000 for a typical house and then judge each listing on its own comparable sales.
No. Redfin’s Westerleigh page shows a median listing price of $839,000 and reports that 16 homes sold in the past month, but it does not publish a dated sale-price median. A listing price measures what sellers ask, and PropertyShark’s figures measure what buyers paid.
Joseph Ranola explains this gap to every relocating buyer, because comparing a $839,000 asking median to a $710,000 sold median makes a fair offer look like a low one.
The Staten Island Ferry is free and, according to the NYC Department of Transportation, runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Express bus service to Manhattan runs on the MTA SIM routes, and buyers should check mta.info for the stop nearest the house they like.
Drivers crossing the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge pay the toll collected toward Brooklyn. The MTA lists a Staten Island Resident Program rate as low as $2.75 for qualifying E-ZPass NY accounts effective January 2026, against $12.03 for Tolls by Mail. Confirm current rates at mta.info.
Get a mortgage pre-approval, decide the house style you need, and book a block of showings on one trip. Joseph Ranola coordinates remote buyers by video, schedules back-to-back showings, and sends comparable sales for every house before the buyer arrives.
Joseph Ranola is a real estate broker, not an attorney. New York closings involve attorneys on both sides, and a relocating buyer should hire a New York attorney before signing a contract.
Joseph Ranola has coordinated two-sided moves between Staten Island and New Jersey, and manages the timing, showings and paperwork for buyers who are not local. Joseph Ranola serves every neighborhood across Staten Island and Brooklyn, from Tottenville to Williamsburg.
“I had a fantastic experience working with Joseph. His communication was excellent. He was always responsive, prompt, and genuinely attentive to every call and question. He was diligent throughout the process and worked seamlessly with both sides, helping coordinate my client’s home sale in Staten Island while I helped him with a purchase in New Jersey. The deals lined up perfectly, and I highly recommend his services.” — Madeline McCarthy, verified Google review
