First time buyer here – that post was a bit obnoxious I admit. But point stands – I’m a legit first time buyer for whom getting buying an apartment in Brooklyn no longer makes sense.
ok, i suppose by first time buyers, i wasn’t considering grown adults with kids who never bought. I’m talking people in our 20’s and 30’s who are single.
the typical first time buyer profile…
Wrong – I’m a first time buyer who saves religiously, makes well over $200k, and hasn’t decided to put down roots in NY until now. I’m married and need a two bedroom in case we have a kid in the near future. But as I said above, I have no desire to pay over a million dollars for an apartment with a high maintenance cost and I don’t want to move to a fringe neighborhood.
Vermont real estate has tanked in the last 2 years. You might be able to get a good bargain.
RE: The Park Slope place…
That rooftop…which looks stunning…is private so says the listing…
I would think that certainly has to do with the price being a little on the high side, no?
11:18 here – most of my cash is in a 5% money market at Citi and jumbo CDs earning a little more. I have some other assets(mutual funds and the like) that I might get out of if I needed more for the down payment – which is unlikely unless I start bidding above $1.4. But frankly I might just by a vacation house in Vermont or something. At least there I’ll get a bit of dirt for my money.
ING is at 4.20 percent right now.
no one holding money in a savings account is making too decent a return…
first time buyers???
not sure where you come from, but first time buyers aren’t buying million dollar apts, 11:18.
we start out small and work our way up.
there are plenty of 300, 400, 500k apts for first time buyers, but these ain’t it.
Wow, if PS is under 1000 sf, they’ve got balls. It does look nice in the photos, but again, who is the buyer? If it’s a family (the usual target for a 3BR), then you need a minimum of 1000 sf, and the layout is also really important. In fact, we’ve noticed that often, a well-laid out 1000 sf can be a better value than a 1400 sf apt that wastes space. So it’s not that size is the be-all/end-all, but I do think 1000 sf is the minimum for a well-laid out 3BR.
