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 McCarren trades as a small resale building with no sponsor stock. Resales since 2012 have come in ones and twos a year. In the last 24 months ACRIS records two deeds with a stated sale price, a unit 1 in October 2025 and a unit 2 at 55 Engert itself in March 2026, plus two deeds in 2026 recorded with no consideration, which read as transfers rather than market sales. The large units 1 and 3 carry most of the value, and pricing tracks size and position in the building more than address, since the eight buildings are the same. Buyers compare it with elevator condominiums on the same stretch, and the walk-up format and full taxes both show in that comparison. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

The retrade record
Lines that have changed hands more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
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 3-02698-7501; 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.
