Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares - **This home**: $3,400,000 - **Median sold price**: $1,840,000 - **Difference**: +$1,560,000 (+84.8%) - **This home, $/ft²**: $1,518 - **Median $/ft²**: $1,581 - **Comparable sales**: 27 - **Sales from**: October 2024 – August 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $1,675,000 – $2,250,000 Based on condo two-bedroom sales in Lower East Side. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Lower East Side instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 90.2% (25 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 88% (25 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 75 days (23 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 58 days (25 sales) Based on condo two-bedroom sales in Lower East Side 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 sale price, condo and house two-bedroom sales in Lower East Side | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $1,968,750 | 17 | | 2018 | $2,512,500 | 39 | | 2019 | $2,415,399 | 28 | | 2021 | $1,985,756 | 22 | | 2022 | $2,475,000 | 38 | | 2023 | $2,330,532 | 26 | | 2024 | $1,925,000 | 12 | | 2025 | $2,065,000 | 17 | | 2026 YTD | $1,695,228 | 10 | Based on recorded condo and house two-bedroom sales in Lower East Side. 2026 is year-to-date. Sales data through August 2026. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it.
