## Sales Evidence

### Recent closed sales

| Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 5E (Apartment) | 1 | 603 | $695,000 | $1,153/ft² | August 18, 2026 | MLS |
| 4C (Apartment) | 1 | 677 | $870,000 | $1,285/ft² | December 18, 2025 | City record |
| 5B (Apartment) | Studio | 509 | $550,000 | $1,081/ft² | April 17, 2025 | City record · MLS |
| 7JK (Apartment) | 4 | 2,405 | $2,200,000 | $915/ft² | February 11, 2025 | City record · MLS |
| 4JK (Loft) | 2 | — | $2,050,000 | — | January 14, 2025 | City record · MLS |
| PHA (Apartment) | — | 1,671 | $2,900,000 | $1,735/ft² | September 28, 2022 | City record |
| 6C (Apartment) | 1 | 677 | $850,000 | $1,256/ft² | February 1, 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

The median closed price for comparable condo one-bedroom sales in East Harlem is $544,500, based on 18 sales between December 2024 and April 2026. This home is asking $695,000, $150,500 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $505,000 and $704,750.

- **Median closed price**: $544,500
- **Middle half**: $505,000 – $704,750
- **Based on**: 18 condo one-bedroom sales in East Harlem
- **Period**: December 2024 – April 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $827/ft²

Across the 15 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 94.4% of what it originally asked. 80% of them closed below the original ask.

This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from East Harlem instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 94.4% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 80% of 15 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 118 days (about 17 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 61 days (about 9 weeks)

Across the 15 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 94.4% of what it originally asked. 80% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 118 days (about 17 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 14 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 61 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 15 with both dates recorded.

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.

Based on 18 condo one-bedroom sales in East Harlem, December 2024 – April 2026. 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 one-bedroom sales in East Harlem, 2017 to 2025. 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 | $621,000 | 17 |
| 2018 | $599,500 | 11 |
| 2019 | $807,856 | 16 |
| 2022 | $762,669 | 15 |
| 2023 | $572,500 | 16 |
| 2024 | $737,500 | 14 |
| 2025 | $537,500 | 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 East Harlem 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.

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.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1016131036. 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.
