What purchase budget feels right?
This shapes the questions that follow. Choose either approach at any budget — we’ll help you explore neighborhoods or focus on specific buildings.
Includes the New York State mansion tax and NYC supplement. The rate shown applies to the full purchase price, not just the amount above a bracket. No mansion tax applies below $1 million.

How do you want to live?
Most search forms open with fifty-seven checkboxes. We'd rather understand the day first, then tell you which blocks fit.
Based on that, we'd start here.
Deselect anything that's wrong, add anything we missed. You know your life better than an algorithm does.
How close does the park need to be?
“Near Central Park” can mean very different things. Tell us whether the view, the address or the walk matters most.
The building decides the deal.
At this level the apartment is often the easy part. The board, the house rules and the financial requirements are what a purchase turns on.
Examples to discuss, not confirmed available homes. You can add another building below.
The residence itself.
The basics that narrow inventory fastest.
New development availability: agent to confirm.
Sizes can be checked against current listings.
How we check availability
We check public listings priced 10% below to 10% above your budget in your chosen areas. Property types use that price and area range; bedroom and bathroom choices also reflect your selected type and size.
Numbers mean “at least”: 2 bedrooms includes homes with 3 or more. Raising one minimum can narrow the other choices. Your agent will confirm new developments, private opportunities and building requirements.
You can still request what you need, even if no homes match today.
We’ll confirm the fireplace type and permitted use for each apartment.

What gets sacrificed last?
Nothing in New York has everything. Drag the grip or use the arrows to put these in your real order. Your top three are what we defend when the trade-offs start.
A starting point based on your answers. Add or remove priorities below.
Add or remove priorities
Keep at least three. Private outdoor space belongs to the home; a shared terrace or garden is a separate preference. Your agent will confirm availability.
The New York fine print.
These decide whether half the market is even available to you. Most forms never ask — which is why most search results waste your time.
How would you like this handled?
How we work depends on how visible you want to be and which opportunities you want us to explore.
Here's your brief.
This is what an ELIKA buyer's agent reads before touching a single listing. Anything wrong, go back and change it.
