The sun-splashed living room has gracious proportion and features a wall of south-facing, floor to ceiling windows showcasing the apartment's private backyard. Anchored by a vast kitchen island--a welcoming place to sit and connect--the kitchen is beautifully balanced with custom Shinnoki oak cabinetry and Caesarstone polished cement-style backsplash. Just off of the living room is the inviting second bedroom which also faces the backyard. The front of the home has the primary bedroom with north-facing exposure, ample closet capacity, ensuite primary bathroom with radiant heat floors and enough space for a both king-sized bed and office area.

| 2 (Apartment) | 2 | 1,146 | $2,425,000 | $2,116/ft² | January 12, 2026 | City record · MLS |

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**: $2,850,000
- **Median sold price**: $1,700,000
- **Difference**: +$1,150,000 (+67.6%)
- **This home, $/ft²**: $1,333
- **Median $/ft²**: $1,265

- **Sales from**: January 2025 – May 2026
- **Middle half of those sales**: $1,200,000 – $1,980,000

Based on condo two-bedroom sales in Carroll Gardens.

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

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sale-to-list price**: 100% (7 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 29% (7 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 48 days (8 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 60 days (8 sales)

Based on condo two-bedroom sales in Carroll Gardens 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.

Sales data through May 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.

## Property Tax History

Taxes at 78 2nd Place #1 were $7,061 in 2026.

| Year | Tax Assessment | Land | Additions | Billable Value | Property Tax | Tax Rate |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 (FY 2026/27) | $355,655 | $60,276 | $295,379 | $56,488 | $7,061 | 12.5% (estimated) |
| 2025 (FY 2025/26) | $296,423 | $60,276 | $236,147 | $56,482 | $7,060 | 12.5% (estimated) |
| 2024 (FY 2024/25) | $247,053 | $60,276 | $186,777 | $55,208 | $6,901 | 12.5% |
| 2023 (FY 2023/24) | $205,878 | $60,276 | $145,602 | $52,278 | $6,536 | 12.502% |

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3003661001. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
