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**: $659,000
- **Median sold price**: $675,000
- **Difference**: -$16,000 (-2.4%)
- **Comparable sales**: 307
- **Sales from**: October 2024 – August 2026
- **Middle half of those sales**: $573,500 – $837,500

Based on co-op one-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill.

Square footage is recorded for only 98 of these 307 sales (32%), 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 Lenox Hill instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sale-to-list price**: 96.5% (282 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 76% (282 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 76 days (288 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 88 days (288 sales)

Based on co-op one-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill 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.

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.
