Buying

What does it take to buy a $750,000 apartment?

Required income, down payment, and estimated closing cash for a $750,000 co-op or condo in NYC — calculated using this site's own affordability engine.

The income figures above are calculated, not looked up — they're the minimum income to clear the DTI limit at $750,000, using the same default mortgage rate and down payment as the live calculators below, assuming no other monthly debts. Clearing DTI is necessary but not sufficient: you'd separately need the cash shown in the table below (down payment, closing costs, and for co-ops, reserves) actually on hand — a lender or board checks both. Open the Co-op or Condo Calculator and enter your real income and accounts to see whether you clear both bars.
