Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 3C (Apartment) | 1 | — | $581,000 | — | March 30, 2026 | City record · MLS | | 5AB (Apartment) | 3 | 1,500 | $2,250,000 | $1,500/ft² | June 12, 2025 | City record | | 5D (Apartment) | 2 | — | $840,000 | — | January 10, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 6D (Apartment) | 2 | — | $850,000 | — | October 23, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 3C (Apartment) | 1 | — | $480,000 | — | June 27, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 4A (Apartment) | 1 | — | $735,000 | — | September 29, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 6A (Apartment) | 1 | — | $895,000 | — | August 19, 2022 | City record · MLS | | 9-BC (Apartment) | 3 | — | $2,003,666 | — | December 14, 2021 | City record · MLS | | 5C (Apartment) | 1 | 680 | $655,000 | $963/ft² | September 20, 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 - **This home**: $2,180,000 - **Median sold price**: $2,432,500 - **Difference**: -$252,500 (-10.4%) - **Comparable sales**: 85 - **Sales from**: September 2024 – July 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $1,975,000 – $3,200,000 Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side. Square footage is recorded for only 19 of these 85 sales (22%), 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 East Side instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 96.3% (74 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 73% (74 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 59 days (79 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 104 days (79 sales) Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East 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 three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $2,990,000 | 37 | | 2018 | $2,250,000 | 40 | | 2019 | $2,089,500 | 36 | | 2020 | $1,985,000 | 27 | | 2021 | $2,003,666 | 59 | | 2022 | $2,120,000 | 75 | | 2023 | $2,100,000 | 45 | | 2024 | $2,125,000 | 38 | | 2025 | $2,237,500 | 51 | | 2026 YTD | $2,695,000 | 27 | Based on recorded co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side. 2026 is year-to-date. Sales data through July 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.
