Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | B4 (Apartment) | — | — | $450,000 | — | March 19, 2026 | City record | | D8 (Apartment) | 1 | 629 | $325,000 | $517/ft² | September 25, 2025 | City record · MLS | | E8 (Apartment) | — | — | $290,000 | — | January 13, 2025 | City record | | A9 (Apartment) | 2 | 1,000 | $545,000 | $545/ft² | August 8, 2024 | City record · MLS | | E3 (Apartment) | — | — | $95,000 | — | March 5, 2024 | City record | | E2 (Apartment) | — | — | $325,000 | — | February 15, 2024 | City record | | E11 (Apartment) | — | — | $335,000 | — | February 5, 2024 | City record | | E7 (Apartment) | — | — | $315,000 | — | January 2, 2024 | City record | | B10 (Apartment) | — | — | $328,000 | — | August 9, 2023 | City record | | B9 (Apartment) | 2 | — | $525,000 | — | September 8, 2022 | City record · MLS | Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable co-op one-bedroom sales in Bay Ridge is $335,500, based on 24 sales between September 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $340,000, $4,500 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $315,000 and $381,250. - **Median closed price**: $335,500 - **Middle half**: $315,000 – $381,250 - **Based on**: 24 co-op one-bedroom sales in Bay Ridge - **Period**: September 2024 – June 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 13 of these 24 sales (54%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest. Across the 17 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.4% of what it originally asked. 71% 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 Bay Ridge instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 96.4% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 71% of 17 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 64 days (about 9 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 84 days (about 12 weeks) Across the 17 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.4% of what it originally asked. 71% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 64 days (about 9 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 17 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 84 days (about 12 weeks), based on the 17 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. 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 24 co-op one-bedroom sales in Bay Ridge, September 2024 – June 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for co-op one-bedroom sales in Bay Ridge, 2017 to 2025. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $318,000 | 15 | | 2018 | $350,000 | 12 | | 2019 | $334,500 | 10 | | 2020 | $341,250 | 12 | | 2021 | $315,000 | 17 | | 2022 | $325,000 | 18 | | 2023 | $337,500 | 14 | | 2024 | $330,000 | 18 | | 2025 | $330,000 | 17 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Bay Ridge instead. 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.
