EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Condominium - **Beds**: 2 - **Total Baths**: 3 - **Rooms**: 5 - **Sqft**: 1,350 sqft - **Stories**: 13 - **Year Built**: 2026 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,741 - **Common Charges**: $1,337 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Jun 25, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 82 Days ### Residence Features - Electric - Building Other - Washer Hookup - In Unit - Building Roof Deck - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - High Ceilings - City ## Sales Evidence ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable condo two-bedroom sales in Downtown Brooklyn is $1,484,164, based on 54 sales between September 2024 and July 2026. This home is asking $2,350,000, $865,836 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,298,500 and $1,871,250. - **Median closed price**: $1,484,164 - **Middle half**: $1,298,500 – $1,871,250 - **Based on**: 54 condo two-bedroom sales in Downtown Brooklyn - **Period**: September 2024 – July 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $1,275/ft² Across the 47 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.9% of what it originally asked. 68% 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 Downtown Brooklyn instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 97.9% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 68% of 47 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 76 days (about 11 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 62 days (about 9 weeks) Across the 47 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.9% of what it originally asked. 68% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 76 days (about 11 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 47 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 62 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 47 with both dates recorded. 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 54 condo two-bedroom sales in Downtown Brooklyn, September 2024 – July 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 condo and house two-bedroom sales in Downtown Brooklyn, 2017 to 2026. 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 | $1,285,000 | 25 | | 2018 | $1,385,222 | 36 | | 2019 | $1,417,248 | 28 | | 2020 | $1,305,000 | 25 | | 2021 | $1,396,500 | 90 | | 2022 | $1,540,000 | 84 | | 2023 | $1,677,500 | 46 | | 2024 | $1,697,000 | 41 | | 2025 | $1,441,250 | 26 | | 2026 | $1,598,000 | 18 | 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 Downtown Brooklyn 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.
