Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1A (Duplex) | 3 | 2,100 | $2,450,000 | $1,167/ft² | February 25, 2025 | MLS | | 23 (Apartment) | 3 | — | $2,900,018 | — | December 19, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 15 (Apartment) | 2 | 1,350 | $1,900,000 | $1,407/ft² | February 21, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 13 (Apartment) | 3 | — | $2,250,000 | — | September 12, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 4E (Apartment) | 1 | — | $1,240,000 | — | February 9, 2023 | 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**: $1,995,000 - **Median sold price**: $1,950,000 - **Difference**: +$45,000 (+2.3%) - **Comparable sales**: 112 - **Sales from**: October 2024 – August 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $1,495,000 – $2,410,000 Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Greenwich Village. Square footage is recorded for only 23 of these 112 sales (21%), 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. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Greenwich Village instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 94.8% (103 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 76% (103 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 86 days (109 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 90 days (109 sales) Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Greenwich Village 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, co-op two-bedroom sales in Greenwich Village | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $1,758,332 | 36 | | 2018 | $1,858,500 | 40 | | 2019 | $1,850,000 | 45 | | 2020 | $1,685,000 | 36 | | 2021 | $1,550,000 | 84 | | 2022 | $2,050,000 | 67 | | 2023 | $1,998,000 | 45 | | 2024 | $2,202,500 | 54 | | 2025 | $1,850,000 | 69 | | 2026 YTD | $2,150,000 | 32 | Based on recorded co-op two-bedroom sales in Greenwich Village. 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. 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.
