Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 9B (Apartment) | 2 | — | $980,000 | — | February 16, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 2D (Apartment) | 1 | 735 | $675,000 | $918/ft² | January 29, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 1A (Apartment) | 1 | — | $410,000 | — | July 27, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 7-AE (Apartment) | 2 | — | $1,500,000 | — | February 2, 2023 | City record · MLS | | Entire property (Single Family Residence) | Studio | 3,772 | $4,400,000 | $1,166/ft² | January 21, 2022 | MLS | | Entire property (Multi Family) | 6 | — | $4,550,000 | — | December 15, 2021 | MLS | | Entire property (Multi Family) | 4 | — | $4,550,000 | — | December 15, 2021 | MLS | 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 - **This home**: $2,475,000 - **Median sold price**: $2,800,000 - **Difference**: -$325,000 (-11.6%) - **Comparable sales**: 50 - **Sales from**: September 2024 – August 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $2,327,500 – $4,132,812 Based on co-op four-bedroom sales in Upper West Side. Square footage is recorded for only 19 of these 50 sales (38%), 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**: 95.5% (44 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 71% (44 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 89 days (45 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 98 days (45 sales) Based on co-op four-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 four-bedroom sales in Upper West Side | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $4,577,500 | 16 | | 2018 | $3,050,000 | 18 | | 2019 | $3,850,000 | 11 | | 2020 | $3,500,000 | 15 | | 2021 | $3,603,333 | 27 | | 2022 | $3,250,000 | 25 | | 2023 | $3,375,000 | 21 | | 2024 | $2,500,000 | 23 | | 2025 | $3,475,000 | 24 | | 2026 YTD | $2,800,000 | 17 | Based on recorded co-op four-bedroom sales in Upper West Side. 2026 is year-to-date. Sales data through August 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.
