Based on 9 three-bedroom sales at 126 EAST 86TH Street, October 2024 – October 2025. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

### Price trend

Median sold price for condo and house three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side, 2017 to 2026. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth.

| Year | Median sold price | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2017 | $5,200,000 | 33 |
| 2018 | $3,782,500 | 30 |
| 2019 | $2,845,124 | 20 |
| 2020 | $2,402,500 | 14 |
| 2021 | $2,909,574 | 32 |
| 2022 | $4,286,629 | 31 |
| 2023 | $5,315,924 | 38 |
| 2024 | $2,967,500 | 22 |
| 2025 | $3,225,000 | 31 |
| 2026 | $5,103,750 | 14 |

This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Upper East Side instead.

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.

| Year | Tax Assessment | Land | Additions | Property Tax | Tax Rate |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

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.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1015141205. 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.
