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. This standardized trend is a separate series from the latest median above, which is the raw recorded sales. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.
249 East 50th Street is a small, recently delivered condominium whose sponsor sell-out is complete; original closings landed in the higher reaches of the Turtle Bay condominium price band, consistent with the building's new-construction, design-forward positioning. As a condo, apartments are read on a price-per-square-foot basis. Because the building is small and recently sold out, secondary-market turnover is naturally limited — there will not always be a recent in-building comparable — so resale pricing draws on the broader Turtle Bay / Midtown East new-condominium set.
The pricing argument is recency and design: a 2019, full-service, garden-wrapped boutique condominium at a price point set by new construction. Garden-facing exposures and high-floor units in the taller portion command the building's premium. Verify the most recent closings against NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers and exclude any non-arms-length transfers from your analysis.

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 1-01324-7502) 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.
