Before you visit the sales gallery, understand the broker registration rule. In many buildings the sponsor will only compensate a buyer’s broker who accompanied you on your first visit or registered you in writing beforehand. The sales team you meet at the door works for the developer, and once you have toured on your own that introduction is very hard to undo.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable one-bedroom sales at 225 East 74th Street is $730,000, based on 10 sales between December 2021 and May 2026. This home is asking $588,000, $142,000 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $661,750 and $763,750. - **Median closed price**: $730,000 - **Middle half**: $661,750 – $763,750 - **Based on**: 10 one-bedroom sales at 225 East 74th Street - **Period**: December 2021 – May 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 0 of these 10 sales (0%), 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. Across the 10 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98% of what it originally asked. 50% of them closed below the original ask. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 98% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 50% of 10 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 58 days (about 8 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 88 days (about 13 weeks) Across the 10 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98% of what it originally asked. 50% 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 9 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 88 days (about 13 weeks), based on the 9 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. 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 10 one-bedroom sales at 225 East 74th Street, December 2021 – May 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for co-op one-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill, 2016 to 2026. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $689,500 | 40 | | 2017 | $717,000 | 165 | | 2018 | $728,750 | 152 | | 2019 | $699,000 | 145 | | 2020 | $665,000 | 109 | | 2021 | $682,500 | 234 | | 2022 | $718,000 | 229 | | 2023 | $675,000 | 163 | | 2024 | $675,000 | 169 | | 2025 | $675,000 | 174 | | 2026 | $652,966 | 90 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Lenox Hill instead. 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.

The corporation’s 2026 property tax bill was $1,321,160 for the whole building. Shareholders cover it through their monthly maintenance rather than a separate bill for this unit.

The New York City and New York State transfer taxes are the seller’s in a resale and are passed to the purchaser in most offering plans, and the sponsor’s attorney fee and any working capital contribution sit on top of that. Together they commonly add 2% or more of the purchase price. - [Estimate these costs](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/calculators/new-development-closing-cost-calculator) - [What sponsor buyers pay](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/new-development-closing-costs-nyc) - [More new developments](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/new-developments) ## Lenox Hill Overview of Lenox Hill [Explore Lenox Hill](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/lenox-hill) · [All Neighborhoods](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods) ### Nearby Lenox Hill - [Inwood real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/inwood) ## Related Links - [225 East 74th Street — building page](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/buildings/new-york-city/manhattan/225-east-74th-street) - [Lenox Hill neighborhood guide](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/lenox-hill) - [Estimate your Buyer Commission Share and closing costs](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/calculators/buyer-closing-cost-calculator) - [Contact Régis Roumila](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/contact) --- > RLS IDX Data display by Real Estate Rebate Team.
