### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable three-bedroom sales at 70 East 96TH Street is $2,325,000, based on 3 sales between March 2022 and January 2025. This home is asking $2,300,000, $25,000 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $2,050,000 and $2,455,000.

- **Median closed price**: $2,325,000

- **Based on**: 3 three-bedroom sales at 70 East 96TH Street
- **Period**: March 2022 – January 2025

Square footage is recorded for only 0 of these 3 sales (0%), 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.

Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 95.9% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 95.9% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 100% of 3 sales

Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 95.9% of what it originally asked. 100% of them closed below the original ask.

Based on 3 three-bedroom sales at 70 East 96TH Street, March 2022 – January 2025. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

### Price trend

Median sold price for co-op three-bedroom sales in Carnegie Hill, 2017 to 2026. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth.

| Year | Median sold price | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2017 | $3,580,000 | 19 |
| 2018 | $3,450,000 | 29 |
| 2019 | $3,137,500 | 22 |
| 2020 | $2,760,000 | 18 |
| 2021 | $2,497,500 | 36 |
| 2022 | $2,400,000 | 29 |
| 2023 | $2,760,000 | 33 |
| 2024 | $2,662,500 | 28 |
| 2025 | $2,585,000 | 25 |
| 2026 | $3,350,000 | 16 |

This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Carnegie Hill instead.

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.
