Square footage is recorded for only 1 of these 11 sales (9%), 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. 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 - **Sale-to-list price**: 96.4% (10 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 60% (10 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 136 days (10 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 66 days (10 sales) Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Central Harlem 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. Sales data through July 2026. 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. ## Price and Property History for 29 West 138th Street, Unit 5A Review the recorded listing activity for 29 West 138th Street, Unit 5A, including asking-price changes and prior market dates. - **Latest price change**: Reduced by $55,000, or 10%, on October 5, 2025 - **Originally listed**: May 12, 2025 at $550,000 - **Entered contract**: April 7, 2026 | Date | Price | Listing event | | --- | --- | --- | | April 7, 2026 | $495,000 | Entered contract | | December 3, 2025 | $495,000 | Returned to the market | | October 5, 2025 | $495,000 | Asking price reduced by $55,000, or 10% | | May 12, 2025 | $550,000 | Listed for sale by Compass | ## Central Harlem Overview of Central Harlem [Explore Central Harlem](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/central-harlem) · [All Neighborhoods](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods) ### Nearby Central Harlem - [Morningside Heights real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/morningside-heights) - [East Harlem real estate for sale](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/east-harlem) ## Related Links - [Central Harlem neighborhood guide](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/neighborhoods/new-york-city/manhattan/central-harlem) - [Estimate your Buyer Commission Share and closing costs](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/calculators/buyer-closing-cost-calculator) - [Contact Régis Roumila](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/contact) --- > RLS IDX Data display by Real Estate Rebate Team.
