Buying a bite of the Apple: Staten Island sales volume shows no improvement year over year

In Staten Island, total sales volume across the four major commercial property types reached $34 million in the second quarter of 2025. While some of New York City’s boroughs have started to see momentum build in the investment sales market, recovery has eluded Staten Island. Sales volume in the second quarter was down year over year and constituted the lowest total since the fourth quarter of 2023. A comparison of the first half of the year was no better: Sales in the first half of 2025 were down more than 20% from the same period last year and down 25% from the first-half average over the past five years.
