Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the average closing timeline for homes in New York?

Most deals close in 45–60 days. Co-ops often stretch longer because boards review tax returns and interview buyers. In Westchester and the Bronx, title delays and municipal searches can add weeks.

Do I need an attorney for a New York real estate closing?

Absolutely. In New York, attorneys handle contracts, clear title issues, and sit at the closing table. Without one, buyers risk co-op rejections, missed liens, or delayed deed transfers.

How much are typical closing costs in New York?

It depends on property type and location. Buyers in NYC condos may pay both city and state transfer taxes. Sellers in Westchester face mansion tax triggers on high-value homes.

What happens if a property inspection reveals issues?

Buyers can demand repairs, request a credit, or walk away if contingencies allow. In Yonkers, older homes often reveal outdated wiring or asbestos, which can complicate financing.

When should I hire a real estate attorney in New York?

Before signing anything. Sellers benefit from contract prep, while buyers avoid traps in inspection or financing clauses. In NYC co-ops, early review of board requirements saves time.

How do flood zones affect New York properties?

Homes near Long Island Sound or the Bronx shoreline often fall in FEMA flood zones. That means extra insurance, disclosure obligations, and sometimes higher carrying costs.
