Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares - **This home**: $1,360,000 - **Median sold price**: $1,150,000 - **Difference**: +$210,000 (+18.3%) - **Comparable sales**: 10 - **Sales from**: October 2021 – February 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $980,000 – $1,286,250 Based on two-bedroom sales at 136 East 56TH Street. Square footage is recorded for only 5 of these 10 sales (50%), 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**: 94.3% (9 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 89% (9 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 230 days (8 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 75 days (8 sales) Based on two-bedroom sales at 136 East 56TH 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 two-bedroom sales in Midtown East | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $1,108,500 | 18 | | 2018 | $970,000 | 15 | | 2019 | $1,167,500 | 12 | | 2020 | $1,111,250 | 10 | | 2021 | $995,000 | 21 | | 2022 | $1,230,000 | 17 | | 2023 | $1,100,000 | 12 | | 2024 | $1,088,750 | 12 | | 2025 | $1,172,500 | 18 | | 2026 YTD | $1,250,000 | 13 | Based on recorded co-op two-bedroom sales in Midtown East. 2026 is year-to-date.
