Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 11A (Apartment) | 4 | — | $2,295,000 | — | February 24, 2026 | City record · MLS | | 2B (Apartment) | 3 | — | $1,435,000 | — | February 14, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 4C (Apartment) | 2 | 1,600 | $1,545,000 | $966/ft² | January 13, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 8C (Apartment) | 2 | — | $1,635,000 | — | December 28, 2022 | City record · MLS | | 7B (Apartment) | 3 | — | $2,544,900 | — | September 1, 2022 | City record · MLS | | 6C (Apartment) | 2 | — | $1,895,000 | — | June 14, 2022 | 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 - **This home**: $2,250,000 - **Median sold price**: $2,599,000 - **Difference**: -$349,000 (-13.4%) - **Comparable sales**: 165 - **Sales from**: November 2024 – September 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $1,825,000 – $3,375,000 Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill. Square footage is recorded for only 47 of these 165 sales (28%), 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**: 94.7% (154 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 73% (154 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 69 days (153 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 99 days (157 sales) Based on co-op three-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. ### Price trend Median sale price, co-op three-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $2,500,000 | 58 | | 2018 | $2,572,500 | 54 | | 2019 | $2,375,000 | 79 | | 2020 | $2,135,000 | 37 | | 2021 | $2,202,500 | 96 | | 2022 | $2,475,000 | 108 | | 2023 | $2,250,000 | 90 | | 2024 | $2,450,000 | 73 | | 2025 | $2,550,000 | 89 | | 2026 YTD | $2,750,000 | 68 | Based on recorded co-op three-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill. 2026 is year-to-date. 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.
