Co-ops are 75% of NYC's apartment inventory. Lower entry prices, established buildings, board-approval expertise. Let Milton guide you through the process.
What makes co-ops stand out in this market
Co-ops typically sell 15-30% below equivalent condos. More value per square foot in NYC's most established addresses.
A portion of your monthly maintenance covers property taxes and underlying mortgage interest, which may be tax-deductible.
Most pre-war buildings with original details like herringbone floors, high ceilings, and ornate lobbies are co-ops.
Board review of residents means buildings tend to be financially stable with low default rates and strong reserve funds.
Co-op buyers submit a detailed package: financials, tax returns, employment letters, and personal references. Milton prepares yours.
Most co-ops limit financing to 70-80% of the purchase price. Some require all-cash. Know the building's rules before making an offer.
Most co-ops restrict or prohibit subletting. Pied-a-terre use and pure investment purchases are often not permitted.

The median asking price for co-ops in Washington Heights is currently $450,000, trending -16.7% year-over-year. Co-ops typically cost 15-30% less than equivalent condos in the same area.
Board approval requires submitting a board package with financial statements, tax returns, bank letters, references, and an employment letter. After package review, approved buyers are invited to a board interview. Milton prepares your package and coaches you for the interview.
A flip tax is a transfer fee charged when co-op shares are sold. It is typically paid by the seller (1-3% of sale price or a per-share amount), though terms vary by building. Milton reviews every building's house rules before you make an offer.
Board package prep included. 25+ years of co-op expertise. Free consultation.
