Public record marks a price taken from the deed filed with the City of New York. Rows without it show the price reported to the listing service, which is what is available until the deed is recorded, typically about two weeks after closing.

The percentage beside a closing price is the sale measured against the original asking price. Rows with no asking price are sales with no listing behind them. Those are sponsor and off-market transfers taken from the public record.
