  1. i think that J condo is all about a full service building, hence the high cc’s. personally, the noise from the trains over the bridges would drive me crazy. also, with the BQE right there, there’s just too much dirt and grime. it’s just not peaceful, and I’d probably never open my windows.

  2. The Jay street layout is very nice, but the location of the building is peculiar. I like to be part of a neighborhood. In all probability, these prices will come down in the next year or two, so if you buy, you need to stay put for a while.
    When the tax abatement at 70 washington expires, the mmaintenance will go way up. That’s when you should buy there. A lot of folks will be looking to bail out before that happens.

  3. gls4quincy is right about negotiable prices. We looked at a 4BR apt this weekend and the broker basically urgend us to offer 25-30% below ask. Also told us about some houses in PS that have offers on the table about 25% below ask. NYC is finally turning into a buyers market, though sellers are still getting great prices, since the run-up was so huge!
