New York imposes several taxes associated with real estate transactions, including mortgage recording tax, transfer taxes, and mansion tax for certain higher-value residential properties. Property taxes are also an important homeownership cost and can vary significantly depending on the property’s location, assessed value, and local tax rates.
The taxes and associated costs can differ significantly between properties in New York City and those in upstate areas. Brokers should therefore consider the property’s specific jurisdiction and transaction details when estimating overall costs for their clients.
A Consolidation, Extension, and Modification Agreement (CEMA) is a New York mortgage structure that can combine an existing mortgage with a new mortgage obligation. CEMA transactions may help borrowers avoid paying mortgage recording tax on the portion of the loan that has already been subject to the applicable tax, with tax treatment determined by the specific structure of the transaction.
Several down payment assistance options are available to eligible homebuyers in New York, primarily through the State of New York Mortgage Agency (SONYMA) and local housing programs:
Down payment assistance programs are subject to program requirements and availability.
