DH, just focus on what I said in other thread – keep the job (1st priority), save up, maintain good credit score
while you wait out the mkt, watch for anamolies – ie I’ve seen twice during this past yr a nice solid 1 bedrm unit at the clinton hill coops listed & sold ~250k. believe both times were distress sellers
DH, those are not the clinton hill coops – worst looking but equally solid. the ones I’m talking about are 2 set of coops – 1 closer to myrtle ave and willoughby and the other is dekalb & lafayette ave. Both are off Hall St / St James Pl. Again, no eye candy but good bang for the buck.
No rush, prices aint going anywhere but down. Keep eye on it and if you see some price at fire sale, then think about it
i know there’s some stuff out there – i’m just hesitant as this isn’t really monopoly money for me – made through selling another property – if i buy and the market drops even 10% it’ll sting a bit!
but then again, i know i won’t be moving anytime soon, so it really shouldn’t matter as long term things will be okay. it’s just hard!
okay in that case…I’ll play along:
“new kitchen, new bathroom, new glass roof on the conservatory and a load-bearing wall.”
Let’s see…my guess low-mid end reno 50K, maybe a bit lower.
Chicken,
Just noticed this one got a px cut but probably needs more based on your previous comments:

“Chicken, it can’t be more than 120K…if it is, you’re getting ripped off.

Good views from a lot of the CH co-ops as well.
