Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable studio sales at 101 Lafayette Avenue is $500,000, based on 11 sales between November 2021 and April 2026. This home is asking $550,000, $50,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $470,000 and $535,000. - **Median closed price**: $500,000 - **Middle half**: $470,000 – $535,000 - **Based on**: 11 studio sales at 101 Lafayette Avenue - **Period**: November 2021 – April 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 4 of these 11 sales (36%), 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 8 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 100% of what it originally asked. 38% of them closed below the original ask. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 100% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 38% of 8 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 80 days (about 11 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 79 days (about 11 weeks) Across the 8 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 100% of what it originally asked. 38% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 80 days (about 11 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 10 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 79 days (about 11 weeks), based on the 10 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 11 studio sales at 101 Lafayette Avenue, November 2021 – 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.
