Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares - **This home**: $295,000 - **Median sold price**: $357,500 - **Difference**: -$62,500 (-17.5%) - **Comparable sales**: 4 - **Sales from**: August 2022 – June 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $336,250 – $376,000 Based on one-bedroom sales at The Clinton House. Square footage is recorded for only 1 of these 4 sales (25%), 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. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 89.7% (3 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 100% (3 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 167 days (3 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 112 days (3 sales) Based on one-bedroom sales at The Clinton House with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric. 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. ### Price trend Median sale price, co-op one-bedroom sales in Flatbush | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $315,000 | 11 | | 2018 | $390,000 | 11 | | 2019 | $308,250 | 14 | | 2020 | $304,635 | 18 | | 2021 | $300,000 | 17 | | 2022 | $300,000 | 19 | | 2023 | $328,000 | 10 | | 2024 | $420,000 | 11 | | 2026 YTD | $340,000 | 11 | Based on recorded co-op one-bedroom sales in Flatbush. 2026 is year-to-date. Sales data through August 2026. 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.
