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.
The Avant prices on a $/sf basis, the correct metric for condominiums. The resale record since the building opened as for-sale product shows a healthy premium-to-neighborhood market: recorded closings cluster in the roughly $1.0M–$2.15M range across studio-to-two-bedroom layouts, with recent activity including a $1.05M closing (December 2023), a $1.445M closing (August 2024), and a $1.595M closing (October 2024), alongside earlier 2022 trades up to $2.15M for the largest, best-exposed homes with outdoor space. On a per-square-foot basis the building has traded at the upper end of East Village condo pricing — consistent with its finish level, amenity package, and private-outdoor-space inventory.
For pricing, the implication is clear: The Avant commands a premium for its product, and within the building, outdoor space, floor, and exposure drive the spread. The comparable record is deep enough to price confidently at the apartment level.
The complete recorded-sale history for The Avant, 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 0.4% 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 1-00406-7504) 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.
