Square footage is recorded for only 2 of these 4 sales (50%), 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. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 95.6% (4 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 75% (4 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 134 days (4 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 101 days (4 sales) Based on two-bedroom sales at 16 East 98th Street 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 two-bedroom sales in Carnegie Hill | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $1,650,000 | 29 | | 2018 | $1,550,000 | 32 | | 2019 | $1,850,000 | 27 | | 2020 | $1,367,250 | 18 | | 2021 | $1,700,000 | 47 | | 2022 | $1,725,000 | 34 | | 2023 | $1,437,500 | 24 | | 2024 | $1,712,500 | 31 | | 2025 | $1,525,000 | 42 | | 2026 YTD | $1,995,000 | 25 | Based on recorded co-op two-bedroom sales in Carnegie Hill. 2026 is year-to-date.
