- **Contract Purchase Price**: $1,360,000
- **Illustrative Buyer Commission Share**: -$20,400*
- **Illustrative Net Cost**: $1,339,600

## Property Overview

7B is an spacious 2BR/2Bath corner apartment boasting triple southern/western/northern exposures and a luxurious convertible-3BR layout. Recent renovations feature throughout the unit, including a windowed, pass-thru kitchen sporting granite countertops, custom oak cabinetry, augmented overhead lighting, and top-flight appliances by Dakor and Miele. The primary bathroom has also been completely overhauled with custom blown glass hand-laid paneling, brass fixtures by Dornbracht, Toto washlet, and radiant heated flooring. The highly versatile secondary BR doubles as both home office and guest BR thanks to a sophisticated Murphy bed hidden within the elaborate built-in desk and shelving unit. A dining area adjacent to the kitchen is currently configured as a den but easily converts to a proper third bedroom.

 136 East 56th Street is a fullservice cooperative nestled in the heart of Midtown East.

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 136 East 56TH Street is $1,150,000, based on 10 sales between October 2021 and February 2026. This home is asking $1,360,000, $210,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $980,000 and $1,286,250.

- **Median closed price**: $1,150,000
- **Middle half**: $980,000 – $1,286,250
- **Based on**: 10 two-bedroom sales at 136 East 56TH Street
- **Period**: October 2021 – February 2026

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.

Across the 9 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 94.3% of what it originally asked. 89% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 94.3% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 89% of 9 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 230 days (about 33 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 75 days (about 11 weeks)

Across the 9 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 94.3% of what it originally asked. 89% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 230 days (about 33 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 8 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 75 days (about 11 weeks), based on the 8 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 two-bedroom sales at 136 East 56TH Street, October 2021 – February 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 Midtown East, 2017 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 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 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 | $1,250,000 | 13 |

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 Midtown East 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.

## Property Taxes

This apartment is part of a co-op that is taxed as one lot shared across 147 apartments. The corporation’s 2026 property tax bill was $2,409,690 for the whole building. Shareholders cover it through their monthly maintenance rather than a separate bill for this unit.
