As many a high-end New York buyer will tell you, once a home sells for over $1 million, a 1 percent "mansion tax" kicks in on the deal. Meaning, then, that you'll see a lot of places priced like they're for sale at a (very expensive) dollar store—$999,999. If you're looking to pick something up for just under a mil, and skirt the extra payment, we've looked through the listings for options in all five boroughs, from tony co-ops in Manhattan and Brooklyn Heights to an entire multi-family out in Bushwick.
