Generous closet space adds valuable storage, making this a particularly practical home for its size. 240 East 55th Street is an intimate cooperative of just under 100 units featuring a part-time doorman, live-in superintendent, full-time porter, laundry room, and common storage and bike room.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares - **This home**: $425,000 - **Median sold price**: $410,000 - **Difference**: +$15,000 (+3.7%) - **Comparable sales**: 5 - **Sales from**: June 2022 – October 2025 - **Middle half of those sales**: $395,000 – $415,000 Based on studio sales at 240 East 55th Street. Square footage is recorded for only 0 of these 5 sales (0%), 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**: 92.2% (5 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 100% (5 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 122 days (5 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 101 days (5 sales) Based on studio sales at 240 East 55th 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 Midtown East | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $347,500 | 22 | | 2018 | $327,000 | 21 | | 2019 | $312,500 | 18 | | 2020 | $332,500 | 10 | | 2021 | $281,000 | 38 | | 2022 | $300,000 | 36 | | 2023 | $310,000 | 29 | | 2024 | $307,500 | 28 | | 2025 | $300,000 | 27 | | 2026 YTD | $302,500 | 14 | Based on recorded co-op studio sales in Midtown East. 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.
