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 three-bedroom sales at Trafalgar House is $2,425,000, based on 5 sales between December 2023 and December 2025. This home is asking $4,100,000, $1,675,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,840,000 and $2,700,000. - **Median closed price**: $2,425,000 - **Middle half**: $1,840,000 – $2,700,000 - **Based on**: 5 three-bedroom sales at Trafalgar House - **Period**: December 2023 – December 2025 - **Median $/ft²**: $1,831/ft² Across the 4 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 94.9% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 94.9% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 100% of 4 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 58 days (about 8 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 60 days (about 9 weeks) Across the 4 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 94.9% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 58 days (about 8 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 4 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 60 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 4 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 5 three-bedroom sales at Trafalgar House, December 2023 – December 2025. 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 Trafalgar House, 2017 to 2026. 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 | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $1,355/ft² | 9 | | 2018 | $1,328/ft² | 12 | | 2019 | $1,276/ft² | 15 | | 2020 | $1,693/ft² | 5 | | 2021 | $1,139/ft² | 12 | | 2023 | $1,278/ft² | 8 | | 2024 | $1,375/ft² | 9 | | 2025 | $1,373/ft² | 15 | | 2026 | $1,521/ft² | 4 (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.
