Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 3 (Apartment) | 1 | 748 | $700,000 | $936/ft² | May 17, 2023 | 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**: $875,000 - **Median sold price**: $527,000 - **Difference**: +$348,000 (+66%) - **Median $/ft²**: $936 - **Comparable sales**: 42 - **Sales from**: October 2024 – August 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $433,125 – $596,750 Based on condo one-bedroom sales in Central Harlem. This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Central Harlem instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 94.9% (33 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 70% (33 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 99 days (35 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 63 days (35 sales) Based on condo one-bedroom sales in Central Harlem 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, condo and house one-bedroom sales in Central Harlem | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $589,495 | 18 | | 2017 | $542,428 | 40 | | 2018 | $532,000 | 19 | | 2020 | $693,796 | 14 | | 2021 | $598,000 | 27 | | 2022 | $450,000 | 19 | | 2023 | $440,000 | 13 | | 2024 | $585,000 | 19 | | 2025 | $542,500 | 18 | | 2026 YTD | $450,000 | 15 | Based on recorded condo and house one-bedroom sales in Central Harlem. 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.
