Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, adjusted to a floor-adjusted basis — standardized to the building’s average floor, so it reflects price rather than which floors happened to sell. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.

498 West End Avenue trades as a converted prewar condominium on the West End Avenue corridor, and that is a specific and comparatively small category. The corridor's inventory is overwhelmingly cooperative; a full-service prewar condominium with modern systems, a doorman, a resident manager and no board interview is the scarce thing, and it prices accordingly relative to co-ops of similar vintage on the same avenue. Pricing is expressed in dollars per square foot, and the spread within the building is wide because the layout mix is wide — corner homes of 3,000 to 4,200 square feet and secondary-line homes under 1,300 do not belong in the same per-foot conversation.

Because the conversion delivered every apartment new inside a 1912 shell, condition variance across the building is low, which makes same-building comparables unusually reliable here — subject to checking whether a given home is an original unit or a combination. Index any market read to the last complete year. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

The complete recorded-sale history for 498 West End Avenue, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records and verified listing data, then enriched apartment-by-apartment by The Roebling Team research desk.

Each dot is one recorded sale with a known interior square footage, plotted by closing date against price per square foot. The line is the median $/sf each year, adjusted to a floor-standardized (average-floor) unit — so it reflects price movement, not which floors happened to sell that year. Individual sale prices in the table below are unadjusted — and you can click any dot to jump straight to that sale.

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 1-01231-7502) 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.
