Square footage is recorded for only 68 of these 297 sales (23%), 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. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Upper West Side instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 97.7% (271 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 65% (271 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 60 days (270 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 83 days (270 sales) Based on co-op one-bedroom sales in Upper West Side 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 one-bedroom sales in Upper West Side | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $780,000 | 28 | | 2017 | $749,000 | 127 | | 2018 | $739,500 | 155 | | 2019 | $750,000 | 101 | | 2020 | $750,000 | 83 | | 2021 | $731,250 | 192 | | 2022 | $760,000 | 211 | | 2023 | $750,000 | 138 | | 2024 | $770,000 | 140 | | 2025 | $758,750 | 176 | | 2026 YTD | $745,000 | 85 | Based on recorded co-op one-bedroom sales in Upper West Side. 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. ## Price and Property History for 74 West 68th Street, Unit 5A Review the recorded listing activity for 74 West 68th Street, Unit 5A, including asking-price changes and prior market dates. - **Latest price change**: Reduced by $10,000, or 1.6%, on August 7, 2026 - **Originally listed**: January 14, 2026 at $625,000 - **Last sold**: $615,000 on August 7, 2026 | Date | Price | Listing event | | --- | --- | --- | | August 7, 2026 | $615,000 | Sold | | August 7, 2026 | $615,000 | Asking price reduced by $10,000, or 1.6% | | May 28, 2026 | $625,000 | Entered contract | | April 15, 2026 | $625,000 | Asking price reduced by $50,000, or 7.4% | | January 14, 2026 | $625,000 | Listed for sale by Compass | ## Upper West Side Overview of Upper West Side [Explore Upper West Side](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/upper-west-side) · [All Neighborhoods](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods) ### Nearby Upper West Side - [Central Park real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/central-park) - [Upper East Side real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/upper-east-side) - [Morningside Heights real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/morningside-heights) - [Hells Kitchen real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/hells-kitchen) - [Theater District real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/theater-district) - [East Harlem real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/east-harlem) ## Related Links - [Upper West Side neighborhood guide](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/upper-west-side) - [Estimate your Buyer Commission Share and closing costs](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/calculators/buyer-closing-cost-calculator) - [Contact Régis Roumila](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/contact) --- > RLS IDX Data display by Real Estate Rebate Team.
