Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares - **This home**: $999,999 - **Median sold price**: $1,722,500 - **Difference**: -$722,501 (-41.9%) - **Comparable sales**: 72 - **Sales from**: October 2024 – August 2026 - **Middle half of those sales**: $1,233,750 – $2,277,500 Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Carnegie Hill. Square footage is recorded for only 19 of these 72 sales (26%), 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 Carnegie Hill instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 96.2% (67 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 70% (67 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 77 days (69 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 103 days (69 sales) Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Carnegie 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 two-bedroom sales in Carnegie Hill | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $1,650,000 | 29 | | 2018 | $1,550,000 | 32 | | 2019 | $1,850,000 | 27 | | 2020 | $1,367,250 | 18 | | 2021 | $1,700,000 | 47 | | 2022 | $1,725,000 | 34 | | 2023 | $1,437,500 | 24 | | 2024 | $1,712,500 | 31 | | 2025 | $1,525,000 | 42 | | 2026 YTD | $1,995,000 | 23 | Based on recorded co-op two-bedroom sales in Carnegie Hill. 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.
