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**: $398,000 - **Median sold price**: $399,000 - **Difference**: -$1,000 (-0.3%) - **Comparable sales**: 18 - **Sales from**: February 2022 – April 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $381,250 – $415,125 Based on studio sales at 520 East 72ND Street. Square footage is recorded for only 1 of these 18 sales (6%), 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**: 98.3% (16 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 88% (16 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 68 days (12 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 86 days (12 sales) Based on studio sales at 520 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. ### Price trend Median sale price, co-op studio sales in Lenox Hill | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $434,250 | 19 | | 2017 | $458,500 | 78 | | 2018 | $448,000 | 66 | | 2019 | $427,500 | 50 | | 2020 | $415,000 | 39 | | 2021 | $413,750 | 102 | | 2022 | $425,000 | 108 | | 2023 | $437,750 | 76 | | 2024 | $402,500 | 70 | | 2025 | $440,000 | 67 | | 2026 YTD | $436,000 | 26 | Based on recorded co-op studio sales in Lenox Hill. 2026 is year-to-date. Sales data through June 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.
