Buying & Selling in Bay Ridge
Buying or selling in Bay Ridge is not the same transaction it is in the rest of the country, and often not even the same transaction it is in the rest of Brooklyn. Most of the market here is co-ops, with boards, board packages, flip taxes, and maintenance fees that change what a home really costs. These guides answer the questions our agents hear most, with answers grounded in the Bay Ridge buildings we actually work in.
