## Buying in a new development?

Before you visit the sales gallery, understand the broker registration rule. In many buildings the sponsor will only compensate a buyer’s broker who accompanied you on your first visit or registered you in writing beforehand. The sales team you meet at the door works for the developer, and once you have toured on your own that introduction is very hard to undo.

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable one-bedroom sales at 66 West 138th Street is $317,500, based on 12 sales between January 2022 and September 2025. This home is asking $375,000, $57,500 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $310,000 and $338,500.

- **Median closed price**: $317,500
- **Middle half**: $310,000 – $338,500
- **Based on**: 12 one-bedroom sales at 66 West 138th Street
- **Period**: January 2022 – September 2025
- **Median $/ft²**: $760/ft²

Across the 4 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 99.2% of what it originally asked. 50% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 99.2% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 50% of 4 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 65 days (about 9 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 74 days (about 11 weeks)

Across the 4 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 99.2% of what it originally asked. 50% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 65 days (about 9 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 9 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 74 days (about 11 weeks), based on the 9 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 12 one-bedroom sales at 66 West 138th Street, January 2022 – September 2025. 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 Central Harlem, 2016 to 2026. 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 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2016 | $510,000 | 19 |
| 2017 | $556,550 | 38 |
| 2018 | $532,000 | 19 |
| 2020 | $693,796 | 14 |
| 2021 | $598,000 | 27 |
| 2022 | $450,000 | 19 |
| 2023 | $440,000 | 13 |
| 2024 | $585,000 | 19 |
| 2025 | $542,500 | 18 |
| 2026 | $525,000 | 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 Central 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.

## Property Tax History

Taxes at 66 West 138th Street #5B were $6,233 in 2026, up 14.0% from 2025.

| Year | Tax Assessment | Land | Additions | Billable Value | Property Tax | Tax Rate |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 (FY 2026/27) | $59,975 | $712 | $59,263 | $49,861 | $6,233 | 12.5% (estimated) |
| 2025 (FY 2025/26) | $57,616 | $712 | $56,904 | $43,729 | $5,466 | 12.5% (estimated) |
| 2024 (FY 2024/25) | $54,201 | $712 | $53,489 | $38,068 | $4,759 | 12.5% |
| 2023 (FY 2023/24) | $48,206 | $712 | $47,494 | $33,089 | $4,137 | 12.502% |
| 2022 (FY 2022/23) | $27,542 | $712 | $26,830 | $27,220 | $3,339 | 12.267% |

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1017351118. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.

## This is a new development purchase

Buying from a sponsor carries closing costs a resale does not. The New York City and New York State transfer taxes are the seller’s in a resale and are passed to the purchaser in most offering plans, and the sponsor’s attorney fee and any working capital contribution sit on top of that. Together they commonly add 2% or more of the purchase price.
