The 2BR trajectory

Every recorded 2BR. The building trades thinly year to year, so the story is the long arc, not any single year: 2BRs have moved from roughly $1.82M in the mid-2000s to about $3.17M today.

Each dot is one recorded sale, by close date and price; the line is the median for each year.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00569-0005) and verified listing data. Co-op apartments are priced by unit type (bedroom count) rather than per square foot — square footage isn’t officially recorded for co-ops, and room counts carry some agent-entry inconsistency, so bedroom type is the reliable spine. Non-arms-length transfers and storage/parking are excluded; line and floor premiums are time-controlled to today’s pricing. Where transaction volume is too thin to support a figure, none is shown.
