Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [1D](https://realestaterebatesnewyork.com/buy/newyorkcity/manhattan/10075/51-east-78th-street-d-1D-ny-10075) (Apartment) | Studio | — | $450,000 | — | July 7, 2026 | MLS | | 3B/3C (Apartment) | 2 | — | $1,578,000 | — | March 4, 2026 | City record · MLS | | 4D (Apartment) | — | — | $785,000 | — | June 26, 2024 | City record | | 1C (Apartment) | 2 | 1,150 | $900,000 | $783/ft² | May 11, 2023 | City record · MLS | | 4D (Apartment) | 1 | — | $749,000 | — | October 14, 2021 | City record · MLS | | 5C (Apartment) | — | — | $945,000 | — | October 5, 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 - **This home**: $785,000 - **Median sold price**: $660,000 - **Difference**: +$125,000 (+18.9%) - **Comparable sales**: 180 - **Sales from**: September 2024 – July 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $570,000 – $768,500 Based on co-op one-bedroom sales in Upper East Side. Square footage is recorded for only 53 of these 180 sales (29%), 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**: 97.2% (165 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 66% (165 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 77 days (171 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 91 days (171 sales) Based on co-op one-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 one-bedroom sales in Upper East Side | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $762,000 | 12 | | 2017 | $678,176 | 106 | | 2018 | $690,000 | 101 | | 2019 | $675,000 | 77 | | 2020 | $630,000 | 55 | | 2021 | $650,000 | 144 | | 2022 | $653,750 | 128 | | 2023 | $649,500 | 100 | | 2024 | $671,250 | 106 | | 2025 | $654,000 | 97 | | 2026 YTD | $652,500 | 50 | Based on recorded co-op one-bedroom sales in Upper East Side. 2026 is year-to-date. Sales data through July 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.
