Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 10C (Apartment) | 2 | 1,491 | $2,940,225 | $1,972/ft² | July 10, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 13B (Apartment) | 4 | 2,600 | $4,000,000 | $1,538/ft² | December 19, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 10A (Apartment) | — | 1,242 | $1,500,000 | $1,208/ft² | September 18, 2023 | City record | | 6B (Apartment) | 1 | — | $1,485,000 | — | September 7, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 11A (Apartment) | 1 | 1,240 | $1,100,000 | $887/ft² | April 1, 2023 | MLS | | 11-A (Apartment) | 1 | 1,240 | $995,000 | $802/ft² | February 14, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 11-B (Apartment) | 1 | 947 | $1,200,000 | $1,267/ft² | April 1, 2022 | City record · MLS | 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 one-bedroom sales at 40 East 61ST Street is $1,200,000, based on 3 sales between April 2022 and September 2023. This home is asking $2,995,000, $1,795,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,097,500 and $1,342,500. - **Median closed price**: $1,200,000 - **Middle half**: $1,097,500 – $1,342,500 - **Based on**: 3 one-bedroom sales at 40 East 61ST Street - **Period**: April 2022 – September 2023 Square footage is recorded for only 2 of these 3 sales (67%), 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. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Listed → in contract**: 170 days (about 24 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 63 days (about 9 weeks) Half of these homes were in contract within 170 days (about 24 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 3 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 63 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 3 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 3 one-bedroom sales at 40 East 61ST Street, April 2022 – September 2023. 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 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 | $1,312,478 | 22 | | 2017 | $1,195,000 | 57 | | 2018 | $1,100,000 | 68 | | 2019 | $950,000 | 57 | | 2020 | $993,750 | 36 | | 2021 | $941,000 | 65 | | 2022 | $931,000 | 77 | | 2023 | $972,500 | 53 | | 2024 | $1,025,000 | 72 | | 2025 | $995,000 | 58 | | 2026 | $999,999 | 39 | 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.
