Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Sold Price | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 25 (Apartment) | $160,000 | December 18, 2023 | City record | | 52 (Apartment) | $75,000 | December 11, 2023 | City record | | 63 (Apartment) | $172,000 | October 10, 2023 | City record | | 42 (Apartment) | $155,000 | August 8, 2023 | City record | | 4 (Apartment) | $125,000 | January 14, 2022 | City record | 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 co-op two-bedroom sales in Washington Heights is $542,500, based on 18 sales between October 2024 and July 2026. This home is asking $205,000, $337,500 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $493,750 and $599,000. - **Median closed price**: $542,500 - **Middle half**: $493,750 – $599,000 - **Based on**: 18 co-op two-bedroom sales in Washington Heights - **Period**: October 2024 – July 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 6 of these 18 sales (33%), 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. Across the 17 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96% of what it originally asked. 77% 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 Washington Heights instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 96% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 77% of 17 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 106 days (about 15 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 106 days (about 15 weeks) Across the 17 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96% of what it originally asked. 77% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 106 days (about 15 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 17 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 106 days (about 15 weeks), based on the 17 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. 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 co-op two-bedroom sales in Washington Heights, October 2024 – July 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 co-op two-bedroom sales in Washington Heights, 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 | $538,625 | 15 | | 2018 | $550,000 | 15 | | 2019 | $555,000 | 15 | | 2021 | $565,000 | 19 | | 2022 | $640,000 | 14 | | 2023 | $565,000 | 13 | 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 Washington Heights 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.
