Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 37A (Apartment) | 3 | 2,525 | $7,100,000 | $2,812/ft² | May 8, 2026 | City record · MLS | | 22C (Apartment) | 1 | 1,194 | $2,850,000 | $2,387/ft² | July 30, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 39A (Apartment) | 3 | 2,525 | $5,446,000 | $2,157/ft² | July 18, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 36A (Apartment) | — | 2,525 | $7,000,000 | $2,772/ft² | June 21, 2024 | City record | | 30A (Apartment) | 3 | 2,303 | $6,700,000 | $2,909/ft² | April 3, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 21C (Apartment) | 1 | 1,194 | $2,800,000 | $2,345/ft² | November 10, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 39A (Apartment) | 3 | 2,525 | $5,446,303 | $2,157/ft² | May 22, 2023 | City record | | 37-B (Apartment) | 2 | 1,625 | $4,925,000 | $3,031/ft² | May 9, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 20B (Apartment) | 1 | 1,203 | $2,700,000 | $2,244/ft² | October 13, 2022 | City record · MLS | | 25C (Loft) | 2 | 1,464 | $4,500,000 | $3,074/ft² | April 6, 2022 | City record · MLS | | 36B (Apartment) | 2 | 1,625 | $4,900,000 | $3,015/ft² | October 8, 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 four-bedroom sales in Midtown is $16,462,500, based on 8 sales between March 2025 and March 2026. This home is asking $15,950,000, $512,500 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $10,309,738 and $23,500,000. - **Median closed price**: $16,462,500 - **Middle half**: $10,309,738 – $23,500,000 - **Based on**: 8 condo four-bedroom sales in Midtown - **Period**: March 2025 – March 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $4,450/ft² Across the 8 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 83.6% of what it originally asked. 100% 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 instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 83.6% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 100% of 8 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 138 days (about 20 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 79 days (about 11 weeks) Across the 8 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 83.6% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 138 days (about 20 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 8 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 79 days (about 11 weeks), based on the 8 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 8 condo four-bedroom sales in Midtown, March 2025 – March 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 Baccarat Hotel And Residences, 2016 to 2024. 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 | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $3,290/ft² | 3 (thin) | | 2017 | $3,031/ft² | 3 (thin) | | 2023 | $2,345/ft² | 3 (thin) | | 2024 | $2,772/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.
