Does a cash buyer in Canarsie pay the mansion tax?

Not at the median. The 1% mansion tax applies at $1 million or more, according to the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance, and both Canarsie medians are below that. A cash buyer also pays no mortgage recording tax because there is no mortgage.

Yes, so check it. PropertyShark lists 748 of 11,789 residential buildings in a flood zone and 7,275 in a hurricane evacuation zone. Without a lender, nobody else will require the insurance question.

Why does a 98-day market help a cash buyer?

A long market time means sellers have seen offers fall through. A cash buyer can ask for a shorter closing or a credit rather than a lower price.
