Leave Wade alone! He never said he was only looking in the “more desirable” neighborhoods. I’ve posted this here so many times before…I should write a book on it (actually, I’m working on a blog)….Buy with someone else/look in ungentrified areas/borrow a down payment/have someone co-sign/buy a multi family. I had bad credit and earned bupkas when I bought my first house. Yes, it was cheaper back then, but I’m still dirt poor and I just managed to buy a brownstone as a second home. Don’t let the bastards grind you down, Wade!
wade,
corcoran has a nice double-duplex 2-fam in Crown Heights for $925K. open house sunday
Wade may be out of luck, but I feel his pain. When prices first went crazy, I wondered, how will young teachers or cops or nurses be able to afford housing? Now I wonder how young doctors and lawyers will be able to buy.
Best advice: visit local realtors (walk into a local lawyer’s office and ask) or “downmarket” type firms like Fillmore.
Someone should save 3:22’s comments and revisit in, would that be 2013?
Summer is also traditionally a slower time of year for sales, as people go on vacation, spend their weekends doing things other than house-hunting, etc. It’s also a tough time for co-op sales as amny boards don’t meet in August, so a contract signed in June or July often won’t close until October. Many sellers wait until fall to put their properties on the market for this reason.
But yes, things are getting snapped up really quickly as well. Been that way since the end of last year – especially the less-expensive houses and apartments.
wade you are pretty unrealistic if you expect to buy a brownstone for less than a million dollars in the more desirable neighborhoods covered by this blog
owning a multifamily historical house in one of the most desirable areas in the country is not written into the consitution
We gave up. Mortgage rates are going up, wall st is slowing, citi is whacking people, bloomberg is leaving in 1 1/2 years, and there is a massive federal deficit; cap gains rate goes up soon, etc.
Massive soak the rich campaign coupled with some new hack in the mayors office, and the retirement of the boomers should yield lower growth, higher rates, and lower prices.
Kind of like a repeat of 88-94, when dinkins follwed koch and the market tanked.
“dirty unmarked bills”
Hah, what the heck does that mean
Only comment I have is to stay away from Vita realty. I dealt with them about a year ago and never met such a group of unorganized clueless people. Email me wintaki@hotmail.com for details if you want.
