Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 7E (Apartment) | 3 | 2,360 | $7,900,000 | $3,347/ft² | November 24, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 5A (Apartment) | 2 | — | $2,850,000 | — | November 3, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 7F (Apartment) | 3 | 2,380 | $6,900,000 | $2,899/ft² | July 16, 2024 | City record · MLS | | 9-E (Apartment) | 3 | 2,507 | $6,750,000 | $2,692/ft² | August 28, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 11B (Apartment) | 3 | 2,200 | $7,550,000 | $3,432/ft² | June 22, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 11A (Apartment) | 3 | 2,325 | $7,450,000 | $3,204/ft² | June 16, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 12D/S45 (Apartment) | 2 | 1,336 | $4,500,000 | $3,368/ft² | June 22, 2022 | City record · MLS | | 16A (Apartment) | 3 | 3,503 | $15,500,000 | $4,425/ft² | February 23, 2022 | City record | | 3B (Apartment) | — | — | $5,262,500 | — | November 18, 2021 | 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 The median closed price for comparable three-bedroom sales at Carlton House is $7,500,000, based on 6 sales between February 2022 and November 2025. This home is asking $6,950,000, $550,000 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $7,037,500 and $7,812,500. - **Median closed price**: $7,500,000 - **Middle half**: $7,037,500 – $7,812,500 - **Based on**: 6 three-bedroom sales at Carlton House - **Period**: February 2022 – November 2025 - **Median $/ft²**: $3,276/ft² Across the 4 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.9% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 96.9% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 100% of 4 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 112 days (about 16 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 49 days (about 7 weeks) Across the 4 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.9% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 112 days (about 16 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 5 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 49 days (about 7 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 three-bedroom sales at Carlton House, February 2022 – November 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 co-op three-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill, 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 | $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 | $2,673,000 | 55 | 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 Lenox Hill 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.
