FAQ
Questions Yonkers multi-family owners ask.
Answers from Rafael. For anything specific to your building, call or text 914-430-0440.
What are two- to four-family homes selling for in Yonkers?
Ten two- to four-family homes closed in Yonkers in October 2026 at a median price of $874,500, with a median of 42 days on the market, based on OneKey MLS closed sales compiled by Rafael Barbosa. Your own value depends on the rent roll, unit mix, condition, parking and whether units are delivered vacant.
How is a multi-family home valued?
Buyers look at two things: comparable sales of similar two- to four-family homes nearby, and the income the property produces. Rafael prices from both, using your current rents, lease terms and expenses (taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs) next to recent Yonkers sales, so the number holds up with buyers and appraisers.
What documents do I need to sell a rental property?
Have a current rent roll, copies of leases, a list of security deposits, recent tax and utility bills, insurance, and any permits or certificates of occupancy. Buyers and their lenders ask for these early, and having them ready shortens the time to contract.
Do I pay the Yonkers transfer tax on a multi-family sale?
Yes. The seller pays the City of Yonkers real estate transfer tax of 1.5% plus the 0.4% New York State transfer tax, for 1.9% in total. On an $875,000 sale that is $16,625. The net proceeds calculator on this site includes both.
Should I sell with tenants in place or vacant?
It depends on who is buying. Investors focus on the rent roll and are comfortable with tenants in place, while owner-occupant buyers often want one unit delivered vacant. Rafael will show you how each option affects price and timing for your building. Any tenant matters should be reviewed with your attorney.
