Eligible buyers receive that Buyer Commission Share directly at closing to offset closing costs, down payments, or renovations. The figures below are illustrative, based on a **3% buyer-broker commission**; your share follows the commission offered on the transaction.

- **Contract Purchase Price**: $285,000
- **Illustrative Buyer Commission Share**: -$4,275*
- **Illustrative Net Cost**: $280,725

*Illustrative Buyer Savings of $4,275 — 50% of a 3% buyer-broker commission, shared at closing.*

## Property Overview

Some studios make you compromise. This one gives you options! Set on the first floor at the corner of East 7th Street and Cortelyou Road, this updated corner studio starts with a separate foyer that can also serve as a dining area - and means your dining table doesn't have to double as absolutely everything.

Continue into the generously sized living area, where two exposures provide good natural light and give you flexibility to create distinct sleeping, relaxing, and work-from-home spaces. As an added first-floor advantage, the 8'3" ceilings are higher than those on the upper floors of the building. Hardwood floors run underfoot, while good closet space helps keep everything else out of sight.

The windowed kitchen had been renovated previously, and it features granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. The finishes have been well maintained and continue to present nicely. The modern tiled bathroom has likewise been well cared for since its renovation-proof that good choices can age gracefully.

The well-maintained elevator building offers a live-in Super, full-time Porter, common laundry, a shared green garden area, storage and bicycle space, and an indoor parking garage. Parking waitlist is below average for the neighgorhood! Cats are welcome; dogs, unfortunately, will have to continue their apartment search (Registered Service Animals and Emotional Support Animals are excluded from this restriction). It is easier to purchase in this high occupancy building as the minimum downpayment is only 15 percent.

And then there's the location. With Cortelyou Road right outside, the building puts you just a couple of blocks to neighborhood shopping, restaurants, cafés, and local businesses. Head east along Cortelyou and you'll quickly find yourself among the popular restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood favorites of Ditmas Park-close enough that deciding to "just grab a coffee" can easily turn into dinner.

For transportation, the Q train at Cortelyou Road provides direct service toward Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan, while the nearby Ditmas Avenue station provides access to the F train. The B68 bus runs along Coney Island Avenue, with express bus service offering another option for Manhattan commuters. In other words, leaving the neighborhood is easy-although Cortelyou Road keeps providing reasons not to.

Enjoy the residential feel of Kensington together with the restaurants, shopping, transportation, and neighborhood energy of Cortelyou Road and Ditmas Park practically at your doorstep.

Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below.

### How this price compares

- **This home**: $285,000
- **Median sold price**: $299,500
- **Difference**: -$14,500 (-4.8%)
- **Median $/ft²**: $491
- **Comparable sales**: 10
- **Sales from**: October 2024 – June 2026
- **Middle half of those sales**: $285,625 – $307,500

Based on co-op studio sales in Kensington.

This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Kensington instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sale-to-list price**: 96.8% (9 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 67% (9 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 139 days (9 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 93 days (9 sales)

Based on co-op studio sales in Kensington with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

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.

### Price trend

Median price per square foot, sales at The Manchester

| Year | Median $/ft² | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2016 | $487/ft² | 5 |
| 2017 | $526/ft² | 4 (thin) |
| 2018 | $571/ft² | 5 |
| 2021 | $555/ft² | 10 |
| 2024 | $575/ft² | 8 |
| 2025 | $531/ft² | 8 |

Based on recorded sales at The Manchester.

Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning.

Sales data through July 2026.

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.
