Free common charges, paid assessments, and spa memberships: NYC sellers' most surprising incentives and gifts

The Selene

Friday, Nov 13, 2026 By Cait Etherington

With mortgage rates higher than they have been in well over a decade, many potential buyers are hesitant to go on the market for a new home. In an effort to lure buyers, a growing number of sellers are attempting to sweeten the deal but with an interesting twist.

When mortgage rates spike, price cuts usually follow for an obvious reason. When fewer people buy homes, surplus grows, and prices decline as supply outpaces demand. In the current market, this historical pattern has yet to play out. It took a few years to recover from a backlogged supply chain at the height of the pandemic, which simultaneously slowed the completion of new developments. More recently, as available development sites become more limited and scarcity keeps prices high, there has been little impetus to introduce significant price cuts. As a result, sellers and developers are increasingly looking for other ways to attract buyers, primarily in the form of lavish gifts.

Sponsor-paid transfer taxes or closing costs

In most cases, sellers rather than buyers pay transfer taxes on sales. However, if you’re buying a new condo or a sponsor unit in an existing coop or condo, you will also be on the hook to pay transfer taxes as a buyer. Given that local and state transfer taxes typically add tens of thousands of dollars to one's purchase, this alone dissuades many buyers from purchasing sponsor units.

Moreover, closing costs can add up. With that in mind, the sponsor of The West Residence Club is covering closing costs on all new contracts signed by the end of 2026.

Common charges

In luxury condos, the sticker price and closing costs aren't the only high fees. Owners are responsible for monthly common charges. With that in mind, a growing number of new developments are offering to cover common charges for one year or longer. This is one of the more popular types of incentives, and buildings offering it may be seen below.

It must be noted that unlike at co-ops, where property taxes are included in monthly maintenance fees, condo owners are responsible for two sets of fees: common charges and taxes. However, sponsors have taken notice of that, too. At South Slope boutique condominium 218 23rd Street, the property taxes quoted in the listings reflect a 5-year $60K tax concession offered by sponsor.

Interest points

Given the current market, there is likely no gift in higher demand than a lower interest rate. In an innovative scheme, a few developers have started to help out potential buyers by buying down their mortgage rates for a set time. Others work with preferred lenders who can provide lower rates exclusively for buyers in the buildings. This is another popular type of incentives, and a selection of buildings offering it may be seen below.

Memberships

In a real estate market where luxury services are in high demand, it is no surprise that developers are increasingly including memberships to help lure in potential buyers. For example, at One Wall Street, buyers also receive a complimentary membership to luxury gym Life Time, which has an outpost in the building. At the recently sold-out 520 Fifth Avenue, buyers received complimentary memberships to Moss, the private club in the base of the building. And in Brooklyn, one enterprising seller at Boerum Hill condominium The Hendrik is offering a one-year membership to Bathhouse, a nearby spa, with the purchase of the two-bedroom home (details below).

Gift certificates

Both on the rental and buying side of the market, gift certificates have long been used as an incentive to close deals when the market is in a slump. For example, at the height of the pandemic, 505 West 43rd Street offered a home office package that offered $10,000 for a virtual consultation with designer Andres Escobar and new furnishings, equipment, or decor for a home office.

Bikes, luxury cars, and mopeds

There is nothing new about transportation incentives. In 2018, several rental developments in the East Village and Lower East Side attempted to attract renters by offering free memberships to CitiBike and car-sharing services. A year later, Sutton Place condominium The Revere offered new buyers a choice of common charge rebates or use of a Class A Mercedes. Finally, some sponsors have chosen to offer parking spaces as incentives.

Taylor Swift concert tickets

In 2023, the most surprising giveaway to entice potential buyers has likely been a set of coveted tickets to Taylor Swift's Eras tour. In this case, however, the gift was a one-and-done publicity stunt designed to create a buzz around the launch of sales at The Huron in Greenpoint.

Whether or not developers' and sellers' growing list of gifts will be enough to help activate sales over the coming months is yet to be seen, but one thing is sure. Although relatively low inventory and steady prices haven't created the conditions necessary for a classic buyers' market, in 2023, everyone is looking for sellers, suggesting that more lavish gifts may be forthcoming over the coming two quarters.
