| Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 4E (Apartment) | 2 | 1,055 | $880,000 | $834/ft² | April 15, 2026 | City record |
| 6A (Apartment) | 3 | 2,102 | $1,825,000 | $868/ft² | December 16, 2024 | City record · MLS |

| 3H (Apartment) | 1 | 1,031 | $902,000 | $875/ft² | July 18, 2023 | City record · MLS |
| 3E (Apartment) | 1 | 1,055 | $870,000 | $825/ft² | December 19, 2022 | City record · MLS |
| 7A (Apartment) | — | 2,102 | $2,365,000 | $1,125/ft² | August 5, 2022 | City record |
| 3D (Apartment) | 1 | 1,098 | $995,000 | $906/ft² | April 13, 2022 | City record |

| 4C (Apartment) | 2 | 1,212 | $999,999 | $825/ft² | October 11, 2021 | 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

The median closed price for comparable two-bedroom sales at 257 West 117th Street is $999,999, based on 3 sales between October 2021 and April 2026. This home is asking $839,000, $160,999 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $940,000 and $1,297,500.

- **Median closed price**: $999,999
- **Middle half**: $940,000 – $1,297,500
- **Based on**: 3 two-bedroom sales at 257 West 117th Street
- **Period**: October 2021 – April 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $825/ft²

### Price trend

Median price per square foot for sales at 257 West 117th Street, 2016 to 2022. 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 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2016 | $952/ft² | 3 (thin) |
| 2018 | $892/ft² | 3 (thin) |
| 2021 | $902/ft² | 5 |
| 2022 | $865/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.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Where an abatement applies, Property Tax is the amount owed after it. Abatements are granted to the property and do not necessarily transfer to a new owner.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1019231013. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
