Understanding the difference between condos and coops is something every New York City home buyer must know. It’s almost as important as knowing that you can save thousands on your NYC property purchase by requesting a buyer’s agent commission rebate from Hauseit.

So, what’s the difference between a condo and a coop?
1. Coop Ownership is Not a Form of Real Property Ownership
New York City home buyers who purchase a coop apartment actually purchase shares of stock in a corporation that owns the coop.
Owners of condos are considered owners of real property just like any home owner in the rest of the country.
2. There are More Coops than Condos in NYC
Over 75% of the apartments in New York City are coops.
3. Condos are Much More Expensive than Coops
NYC condos cost 10-40% more than coops.
4. Closing Costs are Much Higher for Condos than for Coops
New York City condos have buyer closing closing costs which are roughly 2% higher than for for comparable coops.
5. Coops Have the Most Rigorous Buyer Board Application Process
NYC coops have a rigorous board application and review process for potential buyers. Buyer rejections for coops are much more common than for condos.
6. Coops Have Higher Monthly Maintenance Charges
Monthly maintenance charges for co ops are often higher than the monthly common charges levied by condos.
7. Coops have Stricter Sublet Rules than Condos
Coops often restrict an owner’s ability to sublet or rent the unit.
Which is better?
Whether a coop or condo is better depends on your personal situation. Regardless of what you buy, make sure you request an NYC commission rebate from Hauseit. A buyer’s agent commission rebate can save you tens of thousands of dollars on your property purchase in NYC.

Thanks for the video and a question regarding rental....Can i buy a coop and then rent it out?
Great question! Most co-ops will require that you occupy the unit for at least a year or two before you rent it out, however there are some co-ops which permit immediate subletting (renting out) from day one. We explain co-op sublet policies in great detail here: www.hauseit.com/nyc-coop-sublet-policy-rules-fees/

I have a question... If I buy a co-op in NYC when I die would it be handed down to children?
Hi Luxury Cartier - this is a great question! The answer depends on the language in the co-op's proprietary lease, who you've left your co-op shares to, and what type of estate planning measures you have in place (will, trust, joint tenants, etc.). In other words, the policy for transferring ownership of shares varies by co-op building in NYC. Given the complexity of the issue, we suggest that you consult with a real estate and estate planning attorney!
