Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 4C (Apartment) | 2 | 815 | $675,000 | $828/ft² | December 17, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 3C (Apartment) | 2 | — | $650,000 | — | August 15, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 2A (Apartment) | — | — | $507,000 | — | March 31, 2025 | City record | | 2D (Apartment) | — | — | $560,000 | — | March 25, 2025 | City record | | 5D (Apartment) | 1 | — | $575,000 | — | May 31, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 1A (Apartment) | — | — | $245,000 | — | May 16, 2023 | City record | | 2B (Apartment) | 1 | — | $575,000 | — | November 16, 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**: $535,000 - **Median sold price**: $668,625 - **Difference**: -$133,625 (-20%) - **Comparable sales**: 310 - **Sales from**: September 2024 – July 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $569,625 – $838,750 Based on co-op one-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill. Square footage is recorded for only 101 of these 310 sales (33%), 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**: 96.4% (286 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 77% (286 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 78 days (290 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 88 days (290 sales) Based on co-op one-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 one-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $689,500 | 38 | | 2017 | $717,000 | 165 | | 2018 | $728,750 | 152 | | 2019 | $699,000 | 145 | | 2020 | $662,500 | 108 | | 2021 | $685,000 | 234 | | 2022 | $718,000 | 229 | | 2023 | $675,000 | 163 | | 2024 | $675,000 | 168 | | 2025 | $675,000 | 174 | | 2026 YTD | $652,966 | 90 | Based on recorded co-op one-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill. 2026 is year-to-date. Sales data through July 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.
