Financing

Financing a condo at the Sidney

What to know before you sign.

First-time buyers earning under $206,640 pay 0.725% recordation tax

That limit is for one person. It's $236,160 for two and $265,680 for three, and the home must cost under $777,000. These limits run through Sept. 30, 2026; DC resets them Oct. 1.

A conforming loan at the Sidney

Prices from the mid $300,000s sit under DC's $1,249,125 conforming limit for 2026, so a conventional loan covers them without jumbo terms.

Condo dues count in your payment

Monthly condo dues are added to your housing payment when we work out your debt-to-income ratio. Bring the dues for the home you like.

Income-restricted homes

An Inclusionary Zoning home needs DHCD income certification before closing, and its resale price stays capped.

Income-restricted homes here are sold through DC's Inclusionary Zoning program, run by the Department of Housing and Community Development.
