### How this price compares

- **This home**: $385,000
- **Median sold price**: $565,000
- **Difference**: -$180,000 (-31.9%)

Based on studio sales at 165 East 72ND Street.

Square footage is recorded for only 2 of these 5 sales (40%), 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.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sale-to-list price**: 100% (3 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 33% (3 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 35 days (5 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 77 days (5 sales)

Based on studio sales at 165 East 72ND Street 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 September 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.

## Property Taxes

This apartment is part of a co-op that is taxed as one lot shared across 183 apartments. The corporation’s 2026 property tax bill was $4,549,435 for the whole building. Shareholders cover it through their monthly maintenance rather than a separate bill for this unit.
