## Sales Evidence

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable condo one-bedroom sales in Harlem is $656,500, based on 9 sales between November 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $299,000, $357,500 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $620,000 and $799,000.

- **Median closed price**: $656,500
- **Middle half**: $620,000 – $799,000
- **Based on**: 9 condo one-bedroom sales in Harlem
- **Period**: November 2024 – June 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $906/ft²

Across the 8 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 93.8% of what it originally asked. 100% 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 Harlem instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 93.8% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 100% of 8 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 221 days (about 32 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 64 days (about 9 weeks)

Across the 8 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 93.8% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 221 days (about 32 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 7 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 64 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 7 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 9 condo one-bedroom sales in Harlem, November 2024 – June 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 Harlem, 2017 to 2023. 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 | $863,750 | 10 |
| 2019 | $775,000 | 17 |
| 2021 | $860,000 | 19 |
| 2022 | $754,750 | 18 |
| 2023 | $840,000 | 11 |

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 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.
