In Staten Island and South Brooklyn, it is possible for prices to rise while homes also take longer to sell. This often confuses buyers and sellers, but the explanation is usually simpler than it sounds.

This market is made up of smaller segments shaped by neighborhood, condition, and price range. Well positioned homes can still sell efficiently, while listings that miss the mark tend to sit longer and pull average days on market higher.

Average and median prices also tell different stories. Average can be influenced by higher end sales, while median often reflects a more typical transaction. Understanding which number applies to your situation matters when making decisions.

Selective markets reward preparation. Sellers benefit from correct pricing and reduced friction early. Buyers benefit from understanding why a listing is sitting instead of assuming leverage.
