Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares - **This home**: $1,799,000 - **Median sold price**: $1,475,000 - **Difference**: +$324,000 (+22%) - **This home, $/ft²**: $1,926 - **Median $/ft²**: $2,266 - **Comparable sales**: 4 - **Sales from**: March 2022 – February 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $1,432,500 – $1,500,000 Based on one-bedroom sales at Steiner East Villag. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 96.6% (4 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 100% (4 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 68 days (3 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 64 days (3 sales) Based on one-bedroom sales at Steiner East Villag 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 Steiner East Villag | Year | Median $/ft² | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2018 | $2,047/ft² | 69 | | 2019 | $1,861/ft² | 6 | | 2021 | $2,099/ft² | 5 | | 2022 | $1,969/ft² | 7 | | 2024 | $2,266/ft² | 5 | | 2026 YTD | $1,898/ft² | 3 (thin) | Based on recorded sales at Steiner East Villag. 2026 is year-to-date. 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 June 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.
