At approximately 876 sq ft, this home is the perfect first purchase or pied-a-terre with its sleek design and convenient location at 5 East 44th Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues. From the moment one steps off of the semi-private landing, one is greeted by approximately 10’ ceilings and an expansive, loft-like feel.

The sleek white lobby hosts a full-time doorman weekdays and a part-time doorman on weekends from 9am to 9pm plus a virtual doorman system. Just steps away from Grand Central Station, Bryant Park, The New York Public Library, Whole Foods, and an extraordinary array of fine dining and shopping experiences. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Condominium - **Beds**: 1 - **Total Baths**: 2 - **Rooms**: 4 - **Sqft**: 876 sqft - **Stories**: 21 - **Year Built**: 2009 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,284 - **Common Charges**: $1,538 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Jul 8, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 65 Days ### Residence Features - Building Other - Washer Hookup - In Unit - Washer Dryer Allowed - City ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 5 apartments at Number 5 have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $1,950,000 in May 2026. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 7 (Apartment) | 2 | 1,419 | $1,950,000 | $1,374/ft² | May 18, 2026 | City record · MLS | | 6A (Apartment) | 1 | 876 | $1,100,000 | $1,256/ft² | December 15, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 8 (Apartment) | 2 | 1,416 | $893,000 | $631/ft² | July 2, 2024 | City record | | 3A (Apartment) | 1 | 876 | $1,038,000 | $1,185/ft² | June 1, 2022 | City record · MLS | | 2B (Apartment) | Studio | 519 | $699,000 | $1,347/ft² | November 4, 2021 | 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 condo one-bedroom sales in Midtown East is $2,448,000, based on 54 sales between October 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $1,125,000, $1,323,000 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,296,000 and $2,600,000. - **Median closed price**: $2,448,000 - **Middle half**: $1,296,000 – $2,600,000 - **Based on**: 54 condo one-bedroom sales in Midtown East - **Period**: October 2024 – June 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $2,738/ft² Across the 46 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 93.7% of what it originally asked. 85% 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 Midtown East instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 93.7% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 85% of 46 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 19 days - **In contract → closed**: 38 days (about 5 weeks) Across the 46 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 93.7% of what it originally asked. 85% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 19 days of coming to market, based on the 35 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 38 days (about 5 weeks), based on the 41 with both dates recorded. 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 54 condo one-bedroom sales in Midtown East, October 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 condo and house one-bedroom sales in Midtown East, 2017 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 | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $1,632,500 | 18 | | 2018 | $1,475,000 | 13 | | 2019 | $2,500,000 | 14 | | 2021 | $1,400,000 | 19 | | 2022 | $1,320,000 | 19 | | 2023 | $1,835,000 | 24 | | 2024 | $1,550,000 | 17 | | 2025 | $2,487,560 | 36 | | 2026 | $1,560,000 | 15 | 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 Midtown East 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.

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 1012791006. 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.
