Showing the 40 most recent of 45 recorded sales in this period.

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**: $950,000
- **Median sold price**: $940,000
- **Difference**: +$10,000 (+1.1%)
- **This home, $/ft²**: $1,641
- **Median $/ft²**: $1,523
- **Comparable sales**: 113
- **Sales from**: November 2024 – September 2026
- **Middle half of those sales**: $863,832 – $999,998

Based on condo one-bedroom sales in Long Island City.

This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Long Island City instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sale-to-list price**: 99.5% (95 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 53% (95 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 48 days (94 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 88 days (94 sales)

Based on condo one-bedroom sales in Long Island City 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 price per square foot, sales at 27-20 42nd Road

| Year | Median $/ft² | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2024 | $1,660/ft² | 18 |
| 2025 | $1,567/ft² | 21 |
| 2026 YTD | $1,622/ft² | 3 (thin) |

Based on recorded sales at 27-20 42nd Road. 2026 is year-to-date.

Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning.

Sales data through September 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.

Review the recorded listing activity for 27-20 42nd Road, Unit 8-J, including asking-price changes and prior market dates.

## Property Tax History

Taxes at 27-20 42nd Road #8-J are estimated at $9,762 in 2026, up 53.5% from 2025.

| Year | Tax Assessment | Land | Additions | Billable Value | Property Tax | Tax Rate |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 (FY 2026/27) | $78,503 | $8,745 | $69,758 | $78,098 | $9,762 | 12.5% (estimated) |
| 2025 (FY 2025/26) | $52,666 | $8,745 | $43,921 | $51,124 | $6,359 | 12.439% |

The FY2026/27 figure is a carried-forward estimate, calculated with an earlier year's published rate. The City Council adopted FY2026/27 rates in June 2026, but they may still be revised under a later State law, and this table has not yet been updated with a final FY2026/27 rate. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published rate for its year.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Assessed and billable values are from the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 4004311253. The City determines them for tax purposes; they are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Property tax is calculated from NYC Department of Finance assessment data, including recorded exemptions and abatements where applicable. Actual tax bills and a future buyer's taxes may differ. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
