Beyond the sticker price - the monthly math, NYC property taxes, the school district and the programs that can shrink your out-of-pocket.
*Illustration only - $525K price, 20% down ($105K), 30-yr fixed at a sample 6.5% rate. Co-ops and condos carry separate monthly maintenance / common charges not shown here. Your actual rate and payment depend on your credit, loan program and the day you lock. Not a commitment to lend.
New York City taxes 1–3 family homes at a relatively low effective rate - often 0.6%–0.9% of market value a year - far below the upstate average. On a $525K home that’s roughly $350/mo. Co-ops and condos are assessed differently and bundle taxes into monthly charges. The STAR and veterans’ exemptions can lower the bill further.
Rego Park is served by NYC District 28 within NYC Public Schools. Attendance zones vary block by block, so it’s always worth confirming the exact zoned schools for a specific address.
This is condo country - warrantable and non-warrantable both trade here, and each underwrites differently. Brian sorts out which is which before you fall in love with a unit.
Brian works with 3% & 5%-down conventional, FHA (3.5% down), zero-down VA, co-op and condo financing, plus SONYMA first-time-buyer loans with down-payment assistance. First-time buyer in Queens? He’ll line up every credit you’re eligible for.
