That’s what Barbara Corcoran suggests you do when looking for a house. On the Today Show this morning, she offered advice to prospective buyers on discerning the desperation of sellers and the quality of the floor below the carpet, suggested they “find out what the neighborhood is like off-hours.” “Go on Saturday night and you’ll spot the noisy neighbor. Go on rush hour and you’ll see how busy the traffic on the street is,” she said. “It’s a great time to buy, if you’re courageous and you don’t mind being lonely when you’re out there shopping all by yourself.”
Corcoran Advises Buyers to Visit at Night [TRD]
Visiting the nieghborhood at night is a good idea, I cant believe it when people get so upset when they move above a bar or restaurant and it turns out being too loud for them, boo hoo, shoulda done your research.
werner, when i lived in harlem, between 1 and 3 am was totally fine to wander around. the really bad hours were between 9 and 12. maybe people in harlem go to sleep earlier tho? and i lol everytime i see barbara’s bubble head smiling.

I usually make my driver do this for me. Or one of the chambermaids.
When I looked for rentals one of my tests used to be to walk or ride a bike to the apartment between 1 and 3 am and see how it feels.
And not one joke about whats under Barb’s carpet…..congrats everyone!
it’s a good time to buy if you get the right price.
I haven’t seen her hangin with the guys out in front of the bodega up the street from her new Bed Stuy limestone!!!!
You know what else helps when you’re a prospective buyer? Being filthy rich. It’s really useful.
yeah benson that was real insightful…too funny a really objective source there as to when is the right time to buy. Ah Bab tu me fais mare toi.
