Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 13/14 (Apartment) | 3 | 4,700 | $12,000,000 | $2,553/ft² | August 13, 2025 | City record · MLS | | MAIS (Apartment) | 3 | — | $7,400,000 | — | November 8, 2023 | MLS | | 1/2ND (Apartment) | — | — | $6,825,000 | — | November 1, 2023 | City record | | 3/4 (Duplex) | 4 | 3,500 | $4,500,000 | $1,286/ft² | June 5, 2023 | MLS | | 5/6 (Duplex) | 5 | — | $4,100,000 | — | August 3, 2022 | MLS | | 9/10 (Apartment) | — | — | $3,312,500 | — | February 14, 2022 | 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**: $4,500,000 - **Median sold price**: $2,583,500 - **Difference**: +$1,916,500 (+74.2%) - **Comparable sales**: 162 - **Sales from**: September 2024 – July 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $1,806,250 – $3,507,500 Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill. Square footage is recorded for only 41 of these 162 sales (25%), 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**: 94.6% (157 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 73% (157 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 69 days (154 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 101 days (157 sales) Based on co-op three-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. ### Price trend Median sale price, co-op three-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill | 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 YTD | $2,673,000 | 55 | Based on recorded co-op three-bedroom sales in Lenox Hill. 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.
