Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Sold Price | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | PH-W (Apartment) | $895,000 | June 17, 2026 | City record | | 4S (Apartment) | $3,500,000 | October 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 - **This home**: $2,450,000 - **Median sold price**: $2,595,500 - **Difference**: -$145,500 (-5.6%) - **Comparable sales**: 162 - **Sales from**: September 2024 – August 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $1,826,250 – $3,521,250 Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill. Square footage is recorded for only 42 of these 162 sales (26%), 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 Lenox Hill instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 94.6% (157 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 73% (157 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 69 days (154 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 100 days (157 sales) Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill 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. ### Price trend Median sale price, co-op three-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $2,397,500 | 12 | | 2017 | $2,500,000 | 59 | | 2018 | $2,572,500 | 54 | | 2019 | $2,282,119 | 80 | | 2020 | $2,167,500 | 38 | | 2021 | $2,202,500 | 96 | | 2022 | $2,475,000 | 108 | | 2023 | $2,250,000 | 90 | | 2024 | $2,460,000 | 72 | | 2025 | $2,550,000 | 90 | | 2026 YTD | $2,711,500 | 56 | Based on recorded co-op three-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill. 2026 is year-to-date. Sales data through August 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.
