Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, from the raw yearly medians — too few standardized single-line units here to adjust to an average-floor basis, so which apartments happened to trade moves these alongside price. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.
The building sold out slowly and steadily rather than in a single release. Deeds on the seven residential unit lots were recorded across 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Current ownership includes both individuals and a trust.
With seven residences of which six are functionally identical full floors, in-building comparables are simultaneously very clean and very thin: floor level, exposure and finish level are almost the only variables, but there are only a handful of transactions to read them against. The right external comparable set is the small group of new-construction and recent-conversion condominiums on the East Village's eastern blocks — not the tenement-stock co-ops and HDFCs that dominate the immediate area, whose economics, policies and buyer pools are entirely different. Use dated, matched closed sales to compare this building with inventory west of Avenue A. Model its unabated tax bill alongside each competitor’s benefit schedule, without assuming a fixed price ranking or that taxes dominate every comparison. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.
The complete recorded-sale history for 298 East 2nd Street, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records, with apartment-by-apartment detail from The Roebling Research Library. Across sales with a public asking price, the building carries a median listing discount of 0.9% 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.

Sources, exclusions and how these figures are computed
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00372-7502; each condominium apartment is its own tax lot). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. 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.
