Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable two-bedroom sales at 221 McDonald Avenue is $711,000, based on 7 sales between July 2022 and January 2025. This home is asking $799,000, $88,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $677,500 and $760,500. - **Median closed price**: $711,000 - **Middle half**: $677,500 – $760,500 - **Based on**: 7 two-bedroom sales at 221 McDonald Avenue - **Period**: July 2022 – January 2025 Square footage is recorded for only 2 of these 7 sales (29%), 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 5 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 100% of what it originally asked. 20% of them closed below the original ask. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 100% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 20% of 5 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 37 days (about 5 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 99 days (about 14 weeks) Across the 5 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 100% of what it originally asked. 20% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 37 days (about 5 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 7 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 99 days (about 14 weeks), based on the 7 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 7 two-bedroom sales at 221 McDonald Avenue, July 2022 – January 2025. 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.
