## Property Overview

Move right into this pin-drop quiet Junior 4, thoughtfully converted to a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home, featuring an oversized living room and exceptional closet space throughout.

 The newly renovated bathroom is beautifully finished with beveled subway tiles and a tasteful marble-topped vanity. The peek-a-boo kitchen features white cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The apartment's oversized windows fill the home with light throughout the day. Additional features include solid core doors, through-the-wall A/C, crown molding, and custom built-ins in the living room.

 Gas is included in the maintenance, and the co-op purchases electricity wholesale, helping residents benefit from lower electric costs. Notably, the co-op owns several apartments within the building. As tenants vacate these units, they are sold and the proceeds are added to the building's reserves-allowing for significant capital improvements without the need for assessments.

 Pets under 40 lbs are welcome. Guarantors, co-purchasing, gifting, and pieds-à-terre are permitted, and parents purchasing for children is considered on a case-by-case basis.

 The Amherst is a full-service building offering an impressive suite of amenities, including a full-time doorman and live-in superintendent, beautifully landscaped roof deck (with outdoor shower!), newly updated courtyard garden, renovated hallways, laundry room, playroom, garage parking, storage and bike storage, and gym. The building is wired for Verizon, Spectrum, and Astound.

 Close to the Q train, the East River Promenade, John Jay Park, renowned medical facilities, including HSS, Weill Cornell, Lenox Hill and MSK, and popular local restaurants, like Uva, Up Thai, Mission Ceviche, Boqueria, J.G. Melon and more.

Showing the 40 most recent of 56 recorded sales in this period.

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 two-bedroom sales at The Amherst is $933,500, based on 19 sales between October 2021 and July 2026. This home is asking $927,000, $6,500 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $904,000 and $989,500.

- **Median closed price**: $933,500
- **Middle half**: $904,000 – $989,500
- **Based on**: 19 two-bedroom sales at The Amherst
- **Period**: October 2021 – July 2026

Square footage is recorded for only 9 of these 19 sales (47%), 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 18 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98.4% of what it originally asked. 78% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 98.4% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 78% of 18 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 40 days (about 6 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 92 days (about 13 weeks)

Across the 18 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98.4% of what it originally asked. 78% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 40 days (about 6 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 13 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 92 days (about 13 weeks), based on the 13 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 19 two-bedroom sales at The Amherst, October 2021 – July 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 two-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 | $1,412,500 | 36 |
| 2017 | $1,440,000 | 136 |
| 2018 | $1,427,500 | 126 |
| 2019 | $1,400,000 | 107 |
| 2020 | $1,305,000 | 77 |
| 2021 | $1,300,000 | 245 |
| 2022 | $1,350,000 | 208 |
| 2023 | $1,390,000 | 152 |
| 2024 | $1,350,000 | 163 |
| 2025 | $1,400,000 | 182 |
| 2026 | $1,487,500 | 82 |

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.
