    Common Seller Questions

    How much is my home worth in Riverdale?
    Riverdale home values vary significantly by property type and location. Co-ops typically range from $250K to $800K, condos from $400K to $1.2M, and single-family homes from $800K to $3M+. The most accurate way to price your home is a comparative market analysis that accounts for recent sales on your specific block, building amenities, and current buyer demand. I offer free valuations for Riverdale sellers.
    Is now a good time to sell in Upper Manhattan?
    Upper Manhattan—particularly Washington Heights and Inwood—has seen consistent buyer demand driven by relative affordability compared to downtown Manhattan, strong transit access, and a tight inventory of well-maintained pre-war buildings. Sellers who price accurately and prepare their homes well are still achieving strong results. The right timing depends on your specific building, unit type, and financial goals—I'm happy to walk you through the current data for your property.
    How long does it take to sell a co-op in Riverdale?
    Co-ops in Riverdale typically take longer to sell than condos or single-family homes because of the board approval process. From listing to signed contract usually takes 30–90 days depending on pricing and condition, and board approval adds another 30–60 days. Well-priced, well-presented co-ops in desirable buildings can move faster. I help sellers prepare for board packages early to avoid delays after contract.
    What are closing costs for sellers in Westchester?
    Sellers in Westchester typically pay the broker commission (negotiable), New York State transfer tax of 0.4% of the sale price, their attorney's fee, and any local transfer tax. Some Westchester cities add their own, including the City of Yonkers at 1.5%. The mansion tax on sales of $1 million or more is paid by the buyer, not the seller. Confirm exact costs with your real estate attorney.
    Why should I work with a COMPASS agent in Riverdale?
    COMPASS agents have access to proprietary technology, a national referral network, and marketing resources that most boutique brokerages can't match. Combined with 14+ years of local experience and 500+ closed transactions across Upper Manhattan, Riverdale, and Lower Westchester, I bring both institutional reach and neighborhood-level expertise. My work has been featured in The New York Times, and I've built my business almost entirely on repeat clients and referrals.
