The Private Brokerage Advantage
As an independent luxury buyer representative, Régis shares 50% of the buyer-side commission he actually receives on your purchase. Eligible buyers receive that Buyer Commission Share directly at closing to offset closing costs, down payments, or renovations. The figures beside this are illustrative, based on a 3% buyer-broker commission; your share follows the commission offered on the transaction.

Across the 13 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.8% of what it originally asked. 85% 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.

Across the 13 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.8% of what it originally asked. 85% of them closed below the original ask.
Half of these homes were in contract within 61 days (about 9 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 15 with a recorded listing date.
Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 83 days (about 12 weeks), based on the 15 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 17 co-op two-bedroom sales in Bay Ridge, September 2024 – May 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 two-bedroom sales in Bay Ridge, 2019 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | $473,500 | 10 |
| 2022 | $530,000 | 10 |
| 2025 | $562,500 | 10 |
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.
