- Co-op / TIC, not a condo — you buy shares or a fractional interest, not the unit itself. Financing is harder and dearer, a board can vet or refuse you, resale may be price-capped, and the buyer pool is thin. Every comp behind the numbers below is a condominium, so treat the gap as an ownership-form discount until you have read the share loan terms and the bylaws.

This unit is asking far less than comparable sales — and its own listing says why: it is a live/work loft, measured against ordinary residential condos. A gap that size is largely the property type, not equity you would own, so we do not publish a market score for it. Check the permitted use and what a lender will do with it before treating the discount as a bargain.
