first replace the ","

price1bed = price1bed.replace(",","")

then parse to a float

price1bed_float = float(price1bed)

lastly to int (if you want)

price1bed_int = int(price1bed_float)

Since you have a non numeric character in your string "1,656.00" - specifically the "," - float() and int() are failing to convert. So all you have to do is take out the ",".

You could replace it like this:

s = "1,656.00"
s = s.replace(',','')
s_float = float(s)

That's what I'd do

As @ Pythonista said, you need to remove ","

 price1bed=int(price1bed.replace(',',''))
