NYC Rent vs Buy

For NYC buyers. We look at things national calculators skip, when your building's tax break expires, how much your common charges go up each year, and what it actually costs to sell here (about 7% of the sale price).

If you stay 7 years

Renting comes out ahead by $304,101

That's how much more total wealth you'd have by renting and investing your down payment plus the monthly savings, instead of buying.

Buying doesn't catch up within 7 years.

In year 7 your home is projected to be worth $3,074,685. After paying off the mortgage and ~7% selling costs, you'd walk away with $1,157,192.
