"A lot"? I've been researching this earlier in another place and didn't come up with much, do you have a link on how to list them?

Anecdotal, but: Head over to https://streeteasy.com/ https://streeteasy.com/ & do some searches with whatever you deem to be "affordable," then compare between the various "building types" in their filtering. It's been a little while since I've done this–I, at least temporarily, gave up the idea of buying something in the city–but I noticed similar trends to keerthiko. Similar to when I was actually looking at places with a broker.

I used streeteasy[0] almost exclusively during my home search. They label every listing by home type (co-op, condo, townhouse, etc) I don't think I found a condo under 800k, while there are plenty of co-ops across the boroughs, including Manhattan, in the 300-800k range. EDIT: just noted you said "in another place". In my experience it's very hard to find this information in America outside NYC without investigating individual buildings.

  Thanks! I was looking in https://opencorporates.com https://opencorporates.com (for Georgia) but I didn't know what to look for. Super interesting: "Today, there are over 1,100 HDFC coops that make up a significant part of the fabric of New York City's affordable housing stock. " https://www.nyc.gov/site/hpd/services-and-information/hdfc.page https://www.nyc.gov/site/hpd/services-and-information/hdfc.p... "5,578 NYC Co-ops and Apartments for Sale" https://streeteasy.com/coops/nyc https://streeteasy.com/coops/nyc Though many of these might be from giant projects, it's still interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell%E2%80%93Lama_Housing_Program https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell%E2%80%93Lama_Housing_... This is what you can do if you don't delegate all the management of the housing market to the Fed.
