- **Contract Purchase Price**: $1,500,000
- **Illustrative Buyer Commission Share**: -$22,500*
- **Illustrative Net Cost**: $1,477,500

Showing the 40 most recent of 46 recorded sales in this period.

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**: $1,500,000
- **Median sold price**: $2,423,750
- **Difference**: -$923,750 (-38.1%)
- **This home, $/ft²**: $952
- **Comparable sales**: 88
- **Sales from**: October 2024 – August 2026
- **Middle half of those sales**: $1,971,250 – $3,225,000

Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side.

Square footage is recorded for only 19 of these 88 sales (22%), 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 Upper East Side instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sale-to-list price**: 96.6% (77 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 69% (77 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 60 days (82 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 105 days (82 sales)

Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side 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 Upper East Side

| Year | Median sold price | Sales |

| 2017 | $2,990,000 | 37 |

| 2025 | $2,237,500 | 51 |
| 2026 YTD | $2,695,000 | 33 |

Based on recorded co-op three-bedroom sales in Upper East Side. 2026 is year-to-date.

Sales data through September 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.

## Property Taxes

This apartment is part of a co-op that is taxed as one lot shared across 209 apartments. The corporation’s 2026 property tax bill was $3,006,108 for the whole building. Shareholders cover it through their monthly maintenance rather than a separate bill for this unit.
