The Mortgage Recording Tax is 1.8% for loans below $500k and 1.925% for loans of $500k or more. The actual tax rates are 2.05% and 2.175%, however most banks generally cover 0.25% of the Mortgage Recording Tax for residential deals.

The Mortgage Recording Tax is not applicable to co-ops, as the tax only applies to real property. Co-ops are not considered to be real property because a buyer actually purchases shares in the private corporation that owns the co-op.

Because the Mortgage Recording Tax is based on the loan size as opposed to the purchase price, you can lower your buyer closing costs by paying all-cash or by increasing the size of your down payment.

It’s also possible to reduce the Mortgage Recording Tax as a buyer by negotiating a Purchase CEMA with a seller. This allows a seller to transfer some or all of an existing mortgage over to you as a buyer, thereby reducing the amount of new loan money which needs to be originated.

The Mansion Tax is a progressive buyer closing cost applicable to purchases of $1 million or more which ranges from 1% to 3.9% depending on the purchase price.

You can estimate your Mansion Tax bill using Hauseit’s Interactive Mansion Tax Calculator available at www.hauseit.com.

Title Insurance is approximately 0.4% to 0.5% of the purchase price. It’s a one-time fee which provides a buyer with an insurance policy against defects or future claims against the title of the property being purchased which were unknown at the time of purchase. This closing cost does not apply to co-op apartments.
