If you are looking to buy in New York City right now, finding an apartment with a safe commute might be a top priority. You may want to consider living near a ferry stop. There are lots of new development condos near ferry stations, and ferries offer an open-air commute that may be preferable in the Covid era.

Many new development apartments have outdoor space, in-unit washer/dryers, large windows, and amenities that make working, or studying, from home easier. Because of the soft market, you are likely to find deal sweeteners from developers looking to close sales.
