THE EKLUND GOMES TEAM

AT DOUGLAS ELLIMAN REAL ESTATE

GNEW YORK | FLORIDA | CALIFORNIA | TEXAS | NEVADA

SAYING HELLO / FROM THE #1 MEGA TEAM IN THE NATION

Thank you for considering us. Over 20 years ago we created a business partnership that grew into a friendship that the two of us never could’ve imagined. I guess we could say the same for the business that has come of it as well.

We pinch ourselves every day to be sure it’s real, because much of it feels like a dream. Together we have broken many records as we set a new standard for the industry with a team of highly qualified agents who have years of experience across New York City, The Hamptons, California, Florida, Texas, and Nevada. We continue to grow with the sole mission to be the best at what we do so we can best serve you in all of your real estate needs.

We hope you give us the opportunity to show you how we are different than the rest. We look forward to working with you!

HOW IS THE PRICE DETERMINED?

The $1,850,000 Seller Target reflects the family's break-even objective on the December 2021 acquisition of $1.7M. The analysis benchmarks this target against three reference sets: recent A-line transactions within 123 Third Avenue, active East Village comparables of similar size, and neighborhood-level trends in marketing time and discount-to-ask.

Recent in-building A-line closings (Units 2A and 10A, identical 1,166 sq ft floorplans) cleared at $1.71M and $1.70M, establishing a transactional floor near $1,460 per square foot. Active comparable listings ask materially higher, but neighborhood data shows 145-day average marketing periods and 5.6% discounts off ask. The Seller Target of $1,587 per square foot sits above recent in-building closings and within the active-ask zone. A final list price recommendation will follow in-person inspection.

BUYERS OF SIMILAR PROPERTIES

CASH BUYERS DOWN PAYMENT

About 68% of buyers for similar East Village properties paid cash, indicating strong investor and end-user demand at this size. Among financed buyers, the average down payment was approximately 34%.

151 Days

TYPICAL DAYS ON MARKET

Similar East Village properties have averaged 151 days on market over the trailing six months. The annual average decreased to 145 in 2026 from 162 in 2025, indicating modestly quicker sales in the current market climate.

6.3% TYPICAL DISCOUNT

In the last six months, similar nearby properties sold with an average discount of 6.3% off the listed price, compared to 7.8% in 2025. Year-to-date 2026 is tracking at approximately 5.6%.

PRICING STRATEGY

Pricing options range from $1.70M to $1.95M. With average days on market near 150 and recent discounts between 5.6% and 6.3%, pricing toward the lower end of the range reduces market time and minimizes negotiation drag. Higher pricing may extend days on market in exchange for upside if the right buyer surfaces.

PROPERTIES ON THE MARKET

Active comps vary around the upper end of the indicated range. A condo at 110 Third Ave lists higher at $2.38M, justified by its higher floor, newer 2007 build, and superior amenities like rooftop decks and fitness facilities. Another at 125 East 12th St offers a lower floor and older 1988 construction but is priced at $2M due to larger size. Larger units with more baths or views command higher prices reflecting quality and location.

123 Third Ave - 6A

RECENTLY SOLD COMPARABLE PROPERTIES

Recently sold comps cluster between $1.70M and $1.85M. Same-size A-line units (2A and 10A) closed at $1.71M and $1.70M in 2025 and 2024, both 1,166 sq ft floorplans identical to 6A. The $1.85M closing (11C) reflects a larger 1,350 sq ft floorplan and C-line exposure. The 2A and 10A closings remain the most directly comparable benchmarks for the subject. A final list price recommendation will follow in-person inspection.

SUPPLY & DEMAND

Supply represents new condo listings similar to the subject property in East Village; demand is measured by contracts signed.

New listings have declined from 239 in 2021 to 92 projected in 2026, with contracts signed tracking the same pattern. Rising mortgage rates, post-pandemic repricing, and broader economic shifts have contributed to reduced inventory turnover.

PRICE TRENDS

East Village price per square foot rose steadily through 2019, peaking at $1,973, then dropped during COVID-19. A moderate recovery followed by 2022, with recent years showing modest flattening. Trajectory is influenced by mortgage-rate moves, postpandemic demand normalization, and continued buyer selectivity.

DAYS ON MARKET

Days on market in East Village rose from approximately 110 in 2015 to a peak near 177 in 2020. Recent years show gradual compression to approximately 145 in 2026, indicating modest market stabilization.

DISCOUNT

Discounts from asking price have varied over the years, averaging around 4% to 7%. Recently, discounts have been higher, peaking at nearly 7.8% in 2025 before tightening to about 5.6% year-to-date in 2026.
