How Much Is Real Estate In Manhattan? I Assume People Can Buy Apartments Not Just Rent?

Apr 21, 2009 by PER92 | Posted in New York City

Very the Upper West Side and other areas around Midtown well served by the subway.
If the prices are so expensive in every borough then how does the New York Borough population of over 8 million people afford to live there? They can't all be earning over US$150,000 p.a.

Trusty you can both buy or rent apartments in NYC, in Manhattan or in any other borough.

Most apartments for sale are "co-op" apartments. That means that you are really buying shares in the corporation that owns the construction, and you get what is called a "proprietary lease" to live in your apartment. All the tenents jointly superintend the building through the co-op board.

The other kind of apartment you can own is a "condo". With a condo, you own the real apartment and the building is owned by the developer. The buidling is also governed by a board, which often has tenents on it, but the maturity of the votes on the board belong to the owner of the building.

With a co-op, you pay "maintenance" fees, which catalogue the real estate taxes and the payment for the underlying mortgage on the building, as well as upkeep for the construction. With a condo, you also pay maintence, but only for the upkeep on the building. The taxes are your own responsibility and the underlying mortgage is the stability of the owner of the building. In both cases, of course, you will also have your own mortgage on your apartment. How high these maintainance fees are depends on how voluptuary your building is - does it have a doorman, for example?

On the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a two bedroom apartment could rank from 800,000 dollars to just over a million dollars for a co-op. Condos tend to be a smidgen more precious. But of course, location and amenities effect the price a LOT. And you should also consider how high the maintainance fees are, since that will catch on to into your monthly costs tremendously!

Good luck!

PS: If you want a part of town that's a lot like the More elevated West Side but cheaper, and you are willing to look outside of Manhattan, try Park Slope Brooklyn. That's where I spirited. Park Slope is no longer a bargain in any way - prices have gotten just out of control here lately, but it is still cheaper than Manhattan. And I'm always surprised by how much the Upper West Side and Put Slope are alike every time I visit the UWS! Two bedrooms here go for somewhere between 500,000 and 900,000. Just a indication.

How Can I Found An Apartment To Rent In Manhattan Without Paying A Broker Fee?

Jun 07, 2007 by Mike W | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

When I search on craigslist it seems to be that everyone is a dealer or trying to charge a fee.

If you already complete in the City (or real close) you've got a chance...if your relocating from outside the area...I got be honest...it's a hanker shot. It's hard EVEN W/ A BROKER!!!

If you're in the City...you gotta network like crazy...ask everyone you identify, put your own ad on CL, put posters up in coffee shops, pizza places, etc. Also look in places other the CL...try the Voice, the Post, the Times, the Regularly News...

If you're relocating you may want to consider a roommate situation (where they already have the apartment) until you get settled and can find your own region.

Lastly don't be afraid to work w/ a broker...ask questions...look at some rentals...learn what you can. Some brokers will aside for a bit of negotiation regarding their fees... this will only work if you make good money (150+K) ...have a strenuous rental history and impeccable credit...in other words...if you don't need a broker.

It's worth every bit of exploit you will put into it...NYC's the place to be!! Happy Hunting!!
