Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2C/3C (Apartment) | — | — | $785,000 | — | July 9, 2025 | City record | | 4-D (Apartment) | 1 | — | $580,000 | — | July 12, 2022 | City record · MLS | | 3-B (Apartment) | 1 | 570 | $585,000 | $1,026/ft² | May 26, 2022 | City record · 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**: $475,000 - **Median sold price**: $749,075 - **Difference**: -$274,075 (-36.6%) - **Comparable sales**: 295 - **Sales from**: October 2024 – August 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $641,000 – $892,500 Based on co-op one-bedroom sales in Upper West Side. Square footage is recorded for only 68 of these 295 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**: 97.8% (270 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 65% (270 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 60 days (269 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 84 days (269 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 | 23 | | 2017 | $749,000 | 126 | | 2018 | $737,250 | 154 | | 2019 | $750,000 | 100 | | 2020 | $746,250 | 82 | | 2021 | $731,250 | 190 | | 2022 | $760,000 | 211 | | 2023 | $750,000 | 137 | | 2024 | $770,000 | 139 | | 2025 | $760,000 | 173 | | 2026 YTD | $745,000 | 89 | Based on recorded co-op one-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.
