Showing the 40 most recent of 49 recorded sales in this period.

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 Beekman Hill is $505,000, based on 13 sales between October 2021 and October 2025. This home is asking $648,000, $143,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $475,000 and $555,000.

- **Median closed price**: $505,000
- **Middle half**: $475,000 – $555,000
- **Based on**: 13 two-bedroom sales at Beekman Hill
- **Period**: October 2021 – October 2025

Square footage is recorded for only 4 of these 13 sales (31%), 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 11 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 90.9% of what it originally asked. 82% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 90.9% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 82% of 11 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 66 days (about 9 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 90 days (about 13 weeks)

Across the 11 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 90.9% of what it originally asked. 82% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 66 days (about 9 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 11 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 90 days (about 13 weeks), based on the 11 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 13 two-bedroom sales at Beekman Hill, October 2021 – October 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 Beekman Hill, 2018 to 2020. 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 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2018 | $504/ft² | 13 |
| 2019 | $669/ft² | 6 |
| 2020 | $370/ft² | 5 |

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 110 apartments. The corporation’s 2026 property tax bill was $1,963,813 for the whole building. Shareholders cover it through their monthly maintenance rather than a separate bill for this unit.
