Active Asking Prices vs. Recorded Closings by Plan
| Floor Plan Type / Size | Current Developer Ask (Michael Saunders) | Current Resale Ask (Other Brokerages) | Recorded Closed-Sale Range | Market Perspective |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,358 SqFt Model (e.g., Units 1003 and 1103) | $1,145,000 $843/SqFt | $1,080,000 $795/SqFt | $1,050,000 – $1,100,000 $773 – $810/SqFt | The current resale offering is close to the recorded closing range. The developer-listed unit carries a modest premium, which should be weighed against its specific floor, view, condition, and contract terms. |
| 1,732 SqFt Model (e.g., Units 1105, 1405, and 505) | $1,500,000 $866/SqFt | $1,495,000 – $1,625,000 $863 – $938/SqFt | $1,646,600 $951/SqFt | Current availability is priced below the recorded sale in the data. Because there is only one directly comparable recorded closing, buyers should avoid drawing conclusions without matching the unit’s layout, floor, view, and included features. |
| 1,921 – 1,948 SqFt Models (Large 2BR/3BR layouts) | $1,675,000 – $2,250,000 $872 – $1,155/SqFt | $1,990,000 – $1,999,000 $1,026 – $1,036/SqFt | $1,742,465 – $2,411,250 $907 – $1,255/SqFt | This is the broadest and most negotiable segment. Current asking prices overlap the recorded closing range, so the best value will come from comparing like-for-like stacks and using the individual listing’s time on market as part of the negotiation strategy. |
What This Means for Buyers
400 Central currently offers a meaningful choice between developer inventory and resale listings. The developer units involve a different contract structure, timing, or available incentives than a resale purchase. That distinction matters just as much as the asking price.
The current market is not one price fits all. Active listings range from $795 to $1,245 per heated square foot, largely because floor level, orientation, view, layout, and seller type vary considerably. Buyers should compare the same plan and a genuinely comparable elevation before deciding whether an asking price is justified. Longer-market listings may create room for a conversation, but the right opportunity is the one whose price, terms, and specific location in the building all make sense together.
