Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable three-bedroom sales at HALCYON is $4,350,000, based on 3 sales between September 2022 and April 2025. This home is asking exactly that figure. The middle half of those sales closed between $3,750,000 and $4,672,500. - **Median closed price**: $4,350,000 - **Middle half**: $3,750,000 – $4,672,500 - **Based on**: 3 three-bedroom sales at HALCYON - **Period**: September 2022 – April 2025 - **Median $/ft²**: $1,806/ft² Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 94.2% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 94.2% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 100% of 3 sales - **In contract → closed**: 104 days (about 15 weeks) Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 94.2% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 104 days (about 15 weeks), based on the 3 with both dates recorded. Based on 3 three-bedroom sales at HALCYON, September 2022 – April 2025. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median price per square foot for sales at HALCYON, 2017 to 2026. Price per square foot is used rather than sale price so the line follows the market rather than whichever apartments happened to change hands that year. | Year | Median $/ft² | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $1,913/ft² | 14 | | 2018 | $1,608/ft² | 7 | | 2019 | $1,812/ft² | 3 (thin) | | 2022 | $1,584/ft² | 5 | | 2023 | $1,698/ft² | 4 (thin) | | 2025 | $1,283/ft² | 4 (thin) | | 2026 | $1,459/ft² | 4 (thin) | Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning. 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.
