If you’re looking to buy a condo in New York City, finding an apartment with low monthly carrying costs can help you stretch your budget—an important consideration now that the average 30-year mortgage rates are above 7 percent
That’s because with a condo, you pay monthly common charges in addition to your mortgage (if you have one). Common charges cover the costs of operating the building and paying staff like a super and doorman. And for a condo, you pay your property taxes separately so you have to factor both costs in your monthly expenses.
How do you find a condo with low monthlies? Search for condos in buildings with scaled-back amenities because the monthly common charges will be much lower. You can also look for buildings with tax abatements—when the city gives the developer a tax break to build in a certain area or include affordable housing and the savings is then passed onto you as the owner. Keep in mind that these abatements do expire.
