5 NYC fixer-uppers for sale under $500,000
This Upper East Side one-bedroom, one-bath co-op is listed for $385,000. It has hardwood floors and exposed brick.
If you’re looking for a deal on a New York City apartment, buying a fixer-upper is a time-tested option—if you have the money and patience to take on a gut renovation.
Apartments in need of a major renovation are priced significantly lower than turnkey apartments. For example, an Upper East Side one-bedroom co-op (featured below) is on the market for $385,000—that’s a far cry from the borough’s median sales price of $1,165,000. Another perk: You get to pick materials and finishes that match your design preferences.
Of course a gut renovation is a serious undertaking, especially now. The ongoing supply chain crisis will stretch your timeline, and make it harder to get certain materials, appliances, and furniture. You also must get your renovation plans approved by your building’s board and file your permits. And you will probably need to find another place to live while your place is under construction.
