Saving up for a New York City apartment is a substantial goal, given the median condo price of $2.08 million and co-ops at $840K. Regardless of whether you're an all-cash buyer or getting a mortgage, monthly carrying costs are crucial. High payments can impact your debt-to-income ratio, affecting your eligibility for co-op board approval or a lender's requirements. Missing payments can lead to lawsuits and, in co-ops, potential eviction.
In co-ops, all shareholders pay maintenance fees, which are determined by your apartment's size. They cover property taxes, underlying mortgages, building insurance, and often utilities. These fees also handle common upkeep such as landscaping and pest control, plus building staff salaries and additional services, resulting in higher fees for buildings with more staff and services.
