ACRIS: Online City Register on the NYC public website will give you the most recent sale prices in your coop.

You can try contacting the Managing Agent and asking what the range of selling prices has been recently for apartments similar to yours. You can also contact several real estate agents and ask them to prepare a CMA for you. Looking at all the information, you should have a better sense of the value. Good luck Basil.

You'll also have to know if you have a chance of passing the coop board. Just because you have the $ for the deposit and your monthly mortgage payment, doesn't mean that they'll approve you. Speak to some neighbors and some Realtors to help determine what the board is looking for and what the apartment is worth.

Basil,

You'll need a Realtor w/knowledge of the area and your particluar building to do a comparative market analysis for you. Call Daniel Segal (212. 692-8327; dsegal@elliman.com) manager of Prudential Douglas Elliman's East 42nd Street Office ( 205 East 42nd Street) for a referral.

Good luck!
Gerry
