esteja =  present subjunctive ''Espero que você esteja feliz em sua casa nova.''

 

estamos = first person, present indicative ''Nós estamos felizes nessa casa.''

 

estão = third person, present indicative ''Eles estão felizes.''

 

estais = second person, present indicative 'Vós estais cansados''...this is more formal
