Square footage is recorded for only 3 of these 6 sales (50%), 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 4 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 102.1% of what it originally asked. 0% of them closed below the original ask.

Based on 6 two-bedroom sales at The Clinton House, February 2022 – June 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.
