New York City Real Estate FAQs
Common questions about home buying, market prices, and investing in New York City
What is the difference between a co-op and a condo in New York City?
With a co-op you buy shares in a corporation that owns the building, and the co-op board must approve you; boards often ask for a larger down payment and review your finances closely. A condo is real property you own outright, usually with fewer purchase restrictions and monthly common charges instead of maintenance fees.
What closing costs should I expect when buying in NYC?
Budget for more than in most US cities. Buyers of homes priced at $1 million or more pay New York's mansion tax, lenders charge a mortgage recording tax on financed condo and house purchases, and there are attorney, title and bank fees on top. Ask your attorney for an itemized estimate before you sign a contract.
How do I search New York City listings on Domestic Real Estate?
Use the listings on this page, or search by neighborhood or ZIP code on the property search page and filter by price, bedrooms and property type. Confirm availability and price with the listing agent, since NYC inventory moves quickly.
How have home prices changed in New York City over the past year?
According to the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency's House Price Index, home prices in the New York-Jersey City-White Plains, NY-NJ (metro division) metro area rose 5.7% (Q2 2026 vs Q2 2025).
