Use our interactive calculator to estimate your sell-side closing costs in New York City for condos, co-ops, and single-family homes.
Seller closing costs in New York City typically range from 6% to 9% of the sale price, depending on the type of property and any negotiated concessions. The largest portion is often the broker commission, followed by transfer taxes and legal fees.
You can use our Seller Closing Costs Calculator to generate a personalized estimate based on your expected sale price, property type, and whether you're selling a co-op, condo, or townhouse. The calculator factors in all standard costs, including transfer taxes, legal fees, and building-specific fees.
In NYC, both the buyer and seller have their own closing costs. Sellers are typically responsible for broker commissions, transfer taxes, and their legal fees. Buyers handle most of the loan-related and title-related costs. In some cases, sellers may offer concessions to cover part of the buyer's costs, especially in new developments or slower markets.
Yes — each property type has its own cost structure:
Condos
Sellers typically pay NYC and NYS transfer taxes, broker commission, and possibly building-related fees like move-out charges or managing agent fees.
Co-ops
In addition to broker commissions and transfer taxes, co-op sellers may face a flip tax, which is often a percentage of the sale price or profit. They may also owe move-out or managing agent fees. These vary by building.
Single-Family Homes/Townhouses
Sellers usually pay broker commissions, transfer taxes, and their attorney’s fee. Since there is no co-op or condo board involved, there are no building or management-related application fees.
Our Seller Closing Costs Calculator adjusts for your property type to give you the most accurate estimate possible.
When selling a property, various closing costs impact your net proceeds. Our Seller Closing Costs Calculator helps you estimate attorney fees, broker commissions, and transfer taxes so you can better plan your sale.
