Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable two-bedroom sales at The Independent is $1,002,976, based on 5 sales between September 2021 and May 2023. This home is asking $1,190,000, $187,024 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,001,135 and $1,003,172. - **Median closed price**: $1,002,976 - **Middle half**: $1,001,135 – $1,003,172 - **Based on**: 5 two-bedroom sales at The Independent - **Period**: September 2021 – May 2023 - **Median $/ft²**: $847/ft² ### How these sales were negotiated - **Listed → in contract**: 215 days (about 31 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 73 days (about 10 weeks) Half of these homes were in contract within 215 days (about 31 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 5 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 73 days (about 10 weeks), based on the 5 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. 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. Based on 5 two-bedroom sales at The Independent, September 2021 – May 2023. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median price per square foot for sales at The Independent, 2020 to 2023. Price per square foot is used rather than sale price so the line follows the market rather than whichever apartments happened to change hands that year. | Year | Median $/ft² | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2020 | $941/ft² | 18 | | 2021 | $873/ft² | 10 | | 2022 | $915/ft² | 9 | | 2023 | $903/ft² | 6 | 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.
