Before you visit the sales gallery, understand the broker registration rule. In many buildings the sponsor will only compensate a buyer’s broker who accompanied you on your first visit or registered you in writing beforehand. The sales team you meet at the door works for the developer, and once you have toured on your own that introduction is very hard to undo.

Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 5A (Apartment) | 1 | 500 | $635,000 | $1,270/ft² | May 13, 2026 | City record | | 3B (Apartment) | 2 | 850 | $580,000 | $682/ft² | November 6, 2025 | City record | | 6C (Apartment) | Studio | — | $550,000 | — | June 11, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 4C (Apartment) | Studio | — | $520,000 | — | May 24, 2022 | 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 The median closed price for comparable co-op one-bedroom sales in Chelsea is $870,256, based on 104 sales between September 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $599,000, $271,256 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $718,750 and $996,000. - **Median closed price**: $870,256 - **Middle half**: $718,750 – $996,000 - **Based on**: 104 co-op one-bedroom sales in Chelsea - **Period**: September 2024 – June 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 40 of these 104 sales (38%), 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 93 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.5% of what it originally asked. 74% of them closed below the original ask. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Chelsea instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 96.5% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 74% of 93 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 70 days (about 10 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 80 days (about 11 weeks) Across the 93 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.5% of what it originally asked. 74% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 70 days (about 10 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 95 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 80 days (about 11 weeks), based on the 94 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. 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. Based on 104 co-op one-bedroom sales in Chelsea, September 2024 – June 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for co-op one-bedroom sales in Chelsea, 2016 to 2026. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $900,000 | 15 | | 2017 | $900,000 | 53 | | 2018 | $857,500 | 54 | | 2019 | $808,500 | 43 | | 2020 | $835,000 | 32 | | 2021 | $806,850 | 90 | | 2022 | $865,000 | 67 | | 2023 | $856,250 | 52 | | 2024 | $854,250 | 52 | | 2025 | $850,000 | 55 | | 2026 | $895,000 | 31 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Chelsea instead. 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.

Confirm terms with your lender. ## This is a new development purchase Buying from a sponsor carries closing costs a resale does not. The New York City and New York State transfer taxes are the seller’s in a resale and are passed to the purchaser in most offering plans, and the sponsor’s attorney fee and any working capital contribution sit on top of that. Together they commonly add 2% or more of the purchase price. - [Estimate these costs](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/calculators/new-development-closing-cost-calculator) - [What sponsor buyers pay](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/new-development-closing-costs-nyc) - [More new developments](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/new-developments) ## Chelsea Art Galleries & High Line Living [Explore Chelsea](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/chelsea) · [All Neighborhoods](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods) ### Nearby Chelsea - [Flatiron District real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/flatiron-district) - [West Village real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/west-village) - [Greenwich Village real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/greenwich-village) - [Gramercy real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/gramercy) - [Hells Kitchen real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/hells-kitchen) - [Theater District real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/theater-district) ## Related Links - [252 West 20TH Street — building page](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/buildings/new-york-city/manhattan/252-west-20th-street) - [Chelsea neighborhood guide](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/chelsea) - [Estimate your Buyer Commission Share and closing costs](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/calculators/buyer-closing-cost-calculator) - [Contact Régis Roumila](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/contact) --- > RLS IDX Data display by Real Estate Rebate Team.
