Condos and Co-ops
Mostly condos and co-ops, from older units that need work to updated units in mid-century and 55+ buildings. With 6.1 months of condo inventory in October 2026, sellers are negotiating, but ask for the milestone inspection report, reserve study, and any planned assessments before you offer.

Updated condos, townhomes, or smaller two- and three-bedroom houses of 900 to 1,500 sq ft in established neighborhoods near downtown. Most were built from the 1940s to the 1970s, and some need cosmetic work.
$500K+
