### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable one-bedroom sales at Island House is $536,966, based on 6 sales between September 2021 and July 2025. This home is asking $625,000, $88,034 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $481,577 and $595,377.

- **Median closed price**: $536,966
- **Middle half**: $481,577 – $595,377
- **Based on**: 6 one-bedroom sales at Island House
- **Period**: September 2021 – July 2025
- **Median $/ft²**: $651/ft²

Across the 4 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98.8% of what it originally asked. 75% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 98.8% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 75% of 4 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 31 days (about 4 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 81 days (about 12 weeks)

Across the 4 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98.8% of what it originally asked. 75% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 31 days (about 4 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 5 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 81 days (about 12 weeks), based on the 5 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 6 one-bedroom sales at Island House, September 2021 – July 2025. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

### Price trend

Median price per square foot for sales at Island House, 2016 to 2025. 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 | $738/ft² | 8 |
| 2017 | $832/ft² | 14 |
| 2018 | $842/ft² | 4 (thin) |
| 2021 | $598/ft² | 4 (thin) |
| 2025 | $842/ft² | 6 |

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.
