### Frequently Asked Questions

#### What are closing costs for new developments?

Closing costs for new developments in NYC can be higher than resale properties, often including transfer taxes, mansion tax, and developer fees. This calculator helps estimate those expenses.


#### What is the Mansion Tax?

The Mansion Tax is a progressive tax on homes sold for $1,000,000 or more in NYC. Our calculator automatically estimates this based on the purchase price.


#### Who pays the transfer tax?

In NYC, the seller typically pays the transfer tax, but in new developments, the buyer is often expected to pay it. This is a key entry in our calculator.


#### Do I pay closing costs if I pay cash?

Yes, while you avoid mortgage-related fees (like mortgage recording tax), you are still liable for title insurance, attorney fees, and transfer taxes.


#### Can closing costs be negotiated in a new development purchase?

Yes. Some sponsor costs, incentives, transfer taxes, attorney fees, and concessions may be negotiable depending on the building, market conditions, contract terms, and buyer representation.​


This calculator provides estimates for informational purposes only and is not legal, tax, or financial advice. Actual costs and requirements vary by property, contract, building, lender, and location and may change over time. Verify all figures with your attorney, lender, and closing agent before relying on them.New Development Note: Many sponsors shift certain costs to the buyer (often including NYC/NYS transfer taxes and sponsor attorney/document fees), but terms vary by building and offering plan. Use the “sponsor pays” options where applicable and confirm exact charges in the contract/offering plan.
