Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable condo studio sales in Turtle Bay is $568,750, based on 36 sales between October 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $595,000, $26,250 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $508,750 and $845,402. - **Median closed price**: $568,750 - **Middle half**: $508,750 – $845,402 - **Based on**: 36 condo studio sales in Turtle Bay - **Period**: October 2024 – June 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $1,188/ft² Across the 34 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.2% of what it originally asked. 68% 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 Turtle Bay instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 97.2% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 68% of 34 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 84 days (about 12 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 59 days (about 8 weeks) Across the 34 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.2% of what it originally asked. 68% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 84 days (about 12 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 33 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 59 days (about 8 weeks), based on the 34 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 36 condo studio sales in Turtle Bay, 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 price per square foot for sales at 865 1st Avenue, 2018 to 2025. Price per square foot is used rather than sale price so the line follows the market rather than whichever apartments happened to change hands that year. | Year | Median $/ft² | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2018 | $1,219/ft² | 7 | | 2020 | $834/ft² | 9 | | 2021 | $870/ft² | 5 | | 2023 | $947/ft² | 4 (thin) | | 2025 | $1,003/ft² | 3 (thin) | 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. 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.
