Market Context

Aria On The Bay Apartments has completed-year closed-sale history from 2018 through 2025 in the market statistics, with 257 recorded condo sales, or about 32 sales per year. That is a deep resale sample for a single building, so buyers can usually find stronger comparable-sale context by bedroom count, line, view, and condition. The busiest year in the series was 2022 with 69 sales, while the quietest was 2018 with 1. Recent completed-year sales volume is close to the long-term average. The gap between the busiest and quietest years also shows why buyers should separate building demand from broader market-cycle timing.

The completed-year price-per-square-foot history for Aria On The Bay Apartments ranges from about $478/sqft to $870/sqft, with an average near $671/sqft across the years shown. That range gives buyers room to separate stronger lines and renovated units from more ordinary comparisons. The last completed year in the series is higher than the first, moving from $567/sqft in 2018 to $800/sqft in 2025. The recent completed-year price-per-square-foot average is above the long-term average. Average closed price over the same completed-year period was about $812,192, but that number should be read by bedroom count, size, view, and renovation level.

Bedroom-level statistics also help explain value at Aria On The Bay Apartments: 2 Beds and 3 Beds units have the broadest historical comparison set, while 4 Beds+ around $7,500,000 and 3 Beds around $1,619,955 represent the higher average closed-price tiers in the chart data. Because the higher-tier segment has limited observations, it should be treated as directional rather than a standalone pricing rule. Buyers should compare units within the same bedroom count before deciding whether a listing is expensive or well positioned. Aria On The Bay Apartments also has long-term rental positioning with a 6-month minimum lease and up to 2 rentals per year, which should be read together with the long-term sales data. That points to a more traditional ownership profile, so long-term tenant quality, association approvals, and carrying costs matter more than short-stay turnover.
