This home is asking $1,495,000, $295,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,149,000 and $1,320,000. - **Median closed price**: $1,200,000 - **Middle half**: $1,149,000 – $1,320,000 - **Based on**: 17 condo three-bedroom sales in Central Harlem - **Period**: September 2024 – July 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $999/ft² Across the 16 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 99.5% of what it originally asked. 50% 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 Central Harlem instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 99.5% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 50% of 16 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 88 days (about 13 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 62 days (about 9 weeks) Across the 16 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 99.5% of what it originally asked. 50% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 88 days (about 13 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 16 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 62 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 16 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 17 condo three-bedroom sales in Central Harlem, September 2024 – July 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. 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.
