Yeah whats up with the Madison Ave house it seems like i can afford that one… I have been on this block during the day anyway and it seems rather OK.. A few young girls like 13 welcomed me “hey white boy welcome to the neighborhood” My wife and I are really looking in this area and want to buy south of Madison going towards Bedford Ave or Stuyvesant Heights near Fulton St. Our budget is 900K tops and we don’t want a house full of tenants, 2 family tops.
2:07
I strongly disagree….read about Bear Stearns in NYTimes today….the economy is in rough shape…
While several of the houses in today’s pics are nice (I think Sterling Place is beautiful), buying a 3 millon dollar house at this time is crazy. Better to rent and then buy the same house for 20% less next spring.
But 2:11 that’s what everybody does. They buy when it feels exciting and cool and a “sure thing” to buy, which is when prices are high and going higher. Then when sales are slower they get nervous and don’t buy. Go figure.
The What, what’s up? Chin up buttercup. Nothing north of 3!
Please ignore the rantings of the bitter renter at 2:!4.
We’d pay $4 a gallon gas plus payments and insurance for one car if we had to have one. But we’d never pay all that for 3 cars for every person in a one-child family. And in the suburbs that’s what is required. More cars if you have more than one child. My parents owned 5 cars at one point, because they had 3 teenagers. My entire allowance would just go to paying for gas if I were a teen driving a car today.
Everyone please ignore 2:07 that was the rantings of a desperate broker.
Ack* The south Elliott Place house is horrific inside. Ultra-staged in ultra high gloss white for what… are they anticipating what they imagine to be the taste of rich, hipster Tribecca parents? The St. Felix place looks good, but not sure about that block. And the Sterling Place home, we’ve seen. Nice enough inside, but no backyard to speak of and a really uninspired block. It just doesn’t have a 3 million location. No way.
“If you want in, you better buy now.”
Only suckers buy at top of market.
