Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 14FL (Apartment) | 2 | — | $4,150,000 | — | May 27, 2026 | City record · MLS | | 5/6 (Apartment) | 3 | — | $13,000,000 | — | May 1, 2026 | City record · MLS | | 11 12 (Apartment) | — | — | $6,500,000 | — | May 14, 2024 | City record | | 1/2F (Apartment) | — | — | $3,050,000 | — | February 15, 2024 | City record | | 4 (Apartment) | 2 | 1,900 | $2,650,000 | $1,395/ft² | December 15, 2021 | 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 - **This home**: $12,000,000 - **Median sold price**: $1,372,500 - **Difference**: +$10,627,500 (+774.3%) - **Comparable sales**: 184 - **Sales from**: September 2024 – August 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $999,000 – $1,750,000 Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Upper East Side. Square footage is recorded for only 54 of these 184 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% (174 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 70% (174 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 64 days (177 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 95 days (175 sales) Based on co-op two-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 two-bedroom sales in Upper East Side | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2016 | $1,247,500 | 22 | | 2017 | $1,299,500 | 88 | | 2018 | $1,340,000 | 79 | | 2019 | $1,300,000 | 75 | | 2020 | $1,299,000 | 41 | | 2021 | $1,275,000 | 141 | | 2022 | $1,374,250 | 120 | | 2023 | $1,300,000 | 99 | | 2024 | $1,270,000 | 99 | | 2025 | $1,350,000 | 99 | | 2026 YTD | $1,435,000 | 55 | Based on recorded co-op two-bedroom sales in Upper East Side. 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.
