Brooklyn Exodus: Why 12% of Buyers Are Fleeing to Staten Island

A Data-Backed Trend for 2025

Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty Advisors LLC is here with the latest market pulse: in 2025, 12% of Brooklyn buyers relocated to Staten Island, a trend reshaping NYC real estate. Rising prices in Brooklyn and the search for more space have pushed many to look across the Verrazzano Bridge.

According to recent reports, Brooklyn’s median sale price has reached $850,000, while Staten Island averages around $708,000. Beyond pricing, Staten Island buyers enjoy more square footage, larger yards, and a quieter suburban lifestyle—while staying within NYC limits.

Why Staten Island is Winning Over Brooklyn Buyers

1. Affordability: With a nearly $150k price difference in median home values, Staten Island offers stronger buying power.
   
   
2. Space & Privacy: Larger homes and yards appeal to families and first-time buyers priced out of Brooklyn.
   
   
3. Lifestyle Shift: Staten Island delivers suburban tranquility with access to city life—an attractive balance for 2025 homebuyers.
   
   
4. Value Growth: Staten Island’s demand surge positions it as one of NYC’s fastest-growing boroughs.
   
   

What This Means for Buyers & Sellers

• Buyers: If Brooklyn feels out of reach, Staten Island could be the perfect fit—offering affordability without leaving the city.
  
  
• Sellers: With increased demand, Staten Island listings are getting more attention than ever. Positioning your home correctly is key to maximizing value.
