The figures below are illustrative, based on a **3% buyer-broker commission**; your share follows the commission offered on the transaction.

- **Contract Purchase Price**: $385,000
- **Illustrative Buyer Commission Share**: -$5,775*
- **Illustrative Net Cost**: $379,225

*Illustrative Buyer Savings of $5,775 — 50% of a 3% buyer-broker commission, shared at closing.*

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable one-bedroom sales at 48 West 138th Street is $385,000, based on 3 sales between November 2022 and August 2025. This home is asking exactly that figure. The middle half of those sales closed between $380,000 and $410,000.

- **Median closed price**: $385,000
- **Middle half**: $380,000 – $410,000

### Price trend

Median price per square foot for sales at 48 West 138th Street, 2016 to 2026. Price per square foot is used rather than sale price so the line follows the market rather than whichever apartments happened to change hands that year.

| Year | Median $/ft² | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2016 | $1,197/ft² | 3 (thin) |
| 2017 | $1,033/ft² | 5 |
| 2018 | $965/ft² | 4 (thin) |
| 2019 | $1,091/ft² | 6 |
| 2021 | $891/ft² | 6 |
| 2024 | $809/ft² | 3 (thin) |
| 2026 | $1,014/ft² | 3 (thin) |

Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning.

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.
