Welcome to "City vs. City" by Chase, where we compare the cost of similar homes in two different locations. I'm Ryan Serhant, real estate tycoon, an entrepreneur working with Chase to help turn your home ownership goals into reality. Let's go.

Today, it's Los Angeles versus New York. Two iconic destinations for big city living. Now, of course, that comes at a price. Fortunately, a jumbo loan can help expand your purchasing power.
