A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 156 Devoe Street would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
156 Devoe Street is an eight-residence, four-story condominium on a 22-by-100-foot lot in East Williamsburg, a short walk from the L train. Every residence has a recorded closing or a sold record, and the priced ones average about $1.07 million, almost exactly the $1.068 million average the offering plan set.
That match is the building's useful fact. Seven closings between October 2023 and January 2026 ran from $920,000 to $1,249,000, or $1,201 to $1,551 per square foot on the five with a recorded size. A buyer weighing a resale here has recorded prices on all but one unit.
Architecture and residences
PLUTO records 6,347 square feet of residential area on a lot of 2,800 square feet, with four floors and eight units. Department of Buildings filings from 2019 through 2022 show a three-unit building on the lot before work, then a zero-to-eight unit conversion to the new use. A fence permit in October 2020 and scaffold jobs in 2021 and 2022 mark the construction years. PLUTO dates the building to 2021 and listing records to 2023.
Listing records describe a mix of one- and two-bedroom homes, from about 650 square feet to just over 1,000, with one duplex. Building features in those records are a rooftop terrace, resident storage, central air conditioning, in-unit washers and dryers, a laundry room, a garden and terraces or balconies, and pets are allowed. Neither the architect nor the developer is documented in the filings reviewed.
Offering and pricing
Per the offering plan filed with the New York State Attorney General (plan CD220045), the plan was submitted February 25, 2022 and accepted September 30, 2022 at a total offering price of $8,545,000 for eight residential units. The record shows the same initial and current price, so no price amendment appears in the figures we have. 156 Devoe Street LLC is the sponsor.
The Attorney General database returned an error when we pulled this record, so these figures come from our scan of September 27, 2026 and amendments were not reviewed. The scan shows no effective date and two units sold. The closings below begin in October 2023, so the database is behind or a later amendment is missing from it. Read every amendment.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $951/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 3.1% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know if you’re buying
Resales set the price. The sponsor's inventory is gone or nearly gone. Anchor an offer to the 2024 to 2025 closings: $1,366 to $1,551 per square foot for the 650 to 880 square foot homes, and $1,201 for the 1,040 square foot one-bedroom.
Check the plan status. The database shows no effective date. Ask for the declaration, the amendments and the current budget.
Closing costs. On a resale the seller customarily pays the transfer taxes, and the buyer pays the state mansion tax from $1 million. Several homes here trade near $1 million, so run the numbers at your price using the calculators below.
Financing. Listing records show a 20% minimum down payment. Confirm with the managing agent.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
