Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, adjusted to a constant-quality (average-floor) unit so it reflects price — not which floors happened to sell. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.
230 West 78th Street prices as a luxury boutique condominium. Because the inventory is large two- and three-bedroom apartments and full-floor penthouses, the building transacts on a price-per-square-foot basis that sits in the upper tier for the Broadway corridor — generally in the range of roughly $1,500 to $2,000 per square foot depending on floor, exposure, and condition, with closed sales toward the lower end of that band and asking prices higher. Full-floor and penthouse inventory commands the building's clear premium.
With only 34 units, turnover is light — a handful of trades in a typical year. Building-wide averages are of limited use; a current apartment-level comparable analysis is the right tool for pricing any individual residence.
The complete recorded-sale history for 230 West 78th Street, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records and verified listing data, then enriched apartment-by-apartment by The Roebling Team research desk. Across sales with a public asking price, the building carries a median listing discount of 6.8% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy here.

Every recorded sale
Sort any column; filter by unit or keyword. Prices are the recorded transfer amount at the NYC Department of Finance. Every sale sits in one of three states: counted in the building’s medians and trend; shown but excluded as a non-arms-length or nominal transfer; or shown and ⚑ flagged for review — a possible duplicate filing or an extreme $/sf outlier, held out of the statistics pending manual verification rather than allowed to move them.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-01169-7502) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans. Storage, parking, and commercial units are excluded from all figures. Floor- and line-level $/sf are time-controlled (each sale measured against the building’s going rate at the time of sale) and expressed at today’s pricing, so they isolate the floor or line premium rather than blend two decades of market movement.
