## Buying in a new development?

Before you visit the sales gallery, understand the broker registration rule. In many buildings the sponsor will only compensate a buyer’s broker who accompanied you on your first visit or registered you in writing beforehand. The sales team you meet at the door works for the developer, and once you have toured on your own that introduction is very hard to undo.

## Sales Evidence

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable condo studio sales in Bushwick is $380,000, based on 3 sales between March 2025 and April 2026. This home is asking $499,000, $119,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $352,500 and $435,000.

- **Median closed price**: $380,000
- **Middle half**: $352,500 – $435,000
- **Based on**: 3 condo studio sales in Bushwick
- **Period**: March 2025 – April 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $765/ft²

Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.4% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask.

This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Bushwick instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 97.4% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 100% of 3 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 127 days (about 18 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 61 days (about 9 weeks)

Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.4% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 127 days (about 18 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 3 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 61 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 3 with both dates recorded.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Based on 3 condo studio sales in Bushwick, March 2025 – April 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

## This is a new development purchase

Buying from a sponsor carries closing costs a resale does not. The New York City and New York State transfer taxes are the seller’s in a resale and are passed to the purchaser in most offering plans, and the sponsor’s attorney fee and any working capital contribution sit on top of that. Together they commonly add 2% or more of the purchase price.
