This home is asking $285,000, $10,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $274,375 and $279,750. - **Median closed price**: $275,000 - **Middle half**: $274,375 – $279,750 - **Based on**: 4 studio sales at 495 East 7th Street - **Period**: March 2022 – September 2023 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. Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.4% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 96.4% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 100% of 3 sales Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.4% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. Based on 4 studio sales at 495 East 7th Street, March 2022 – September 2023. 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.
