The real estate market in New York City is returning up to pre-pandemic levels and in some areas even out-performing sales from 2019 and early 2020. Despite rising purchase prices, interest rates are still at historic lows. 

If you’re trying to figure out whether to purchase in New York City now or wait to buy, keep in mind that waiting could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars (in interest rates and appreciation costs) over the course of your loan. 

For example, you’d save over $140,000 if you purchased an $850,000 apartment today, versus if you waited and interest rates rose just 1%.
