### How this price compares

- **This home**: $2,175,000
- **Median sold price**: $675,000
- **Difference**: +$1,500,000 (+222.2%)

Based on co-op one-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill.

Square footage is recorded for only 98 of these 307 sales (32%), 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**: 96.5% (282 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 76% (282 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 76 days (288 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 88 days (288 sales)

Based on co-op one-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.

Based on recorded co-op one-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.
