Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares - **This home**: $2,500,000 - **Median sold price**: $1,855,000 - **Difference**: +$645,000 (+34.8%) - **Comparable sales**: 6 - **Sales from**: January 2022 – June 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $1,731,250 – $1,997,500 Based on three-bedroom sales at 49 East 96th Street. Square footage is recorded for only 1 of these 6 sales (17%), 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. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 95.4% (5 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 80% (5 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 97 days (6 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 131 days (6 sales) Based on three-bedroom sales at 49 East 96th Street 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 | | 2018 | $2,250,000 | 40 | | 2019 | $2,089,500 | 36 | | 2020 | $1,985,000 | 27 | | 2021 | $2,003,666 | 59 | | 2022 | $2,120,000 | 75 | | 2023 | $2,100,000 | 45 | | 2024 | $2,125,000 | 38 | | 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.

Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
