NYC real estate in brief

Northside Piers offering more buyer incentives
After cutting prices earlier this year, the Northside Piers
development on the Williamsburg waterfront is offering a summer special
where buyers will be covered for 12 months of mortgage payments,
common charges, and real estate taxes — essentially living free for a
year. The incentive is for buyers who purchase units before August 31. Northside
Piers also offers a 25-year tax abatement
which puts real estate taxes as low as $6 dollars a month. Qualified
buyers will be offered a “Borrower’s Protection Plan”, which is also
free for one year. Prices at the buildings start at around $350,000.
