True Monthly Cost

Your real monthly payment — plus what you'd need at closing — for an NYC home. These are estimates, not a loan approval.

NYC buyers pay extra at closing. This estimate includes the mortgage recording tax and, at $1M and up, the mansion tax — both paid by the buyer.

What drives this number? About 83% of the monthly cost is principal & interest — a bigger down payment or a lower rate shrinks that slice first.
