Staten Island RailwayOur CEO, James Prendamano, recently had the opportunity to discuss the reasoning behind the increase in home prices that are within walking distance to the Staten Island Railway (SIR). According to the study you can get anywhere from 9%-34% higher price for your home vs. elsewhere on the Island. The average price of a home near a SIR station is $499,000, with the rest of the borough averaging $459,000.

 

James was quoted saying “All things being equal, it makes perfect sense the train stops from Mid-Island and those as you get closer to the ferry carry with them pricing bumps in and around the train stations.”

Close up of door with lock and keyWhile all homes are different, there are a couple of key things that separate buying an older home from buying a newer home. The primary difference is in the physicality of the home. You almost always can tell when a home was built in the mid-1900’s or before just by looking at it. These physical differences include everything from a historical architecture to small imperfections that contribute to the overall ambiance of an old place. They just feel different. 

 

Older homes often have more imperfections in the way that they were built. You can almost always find small quirks like non-straight lines, slanted floors, crooked walls, or drafty doors and windows. If you look hard enough, you’ll discover these non-level surfaces. This kind of just adds…
