Joking aside, Pete, I wouldn’t say that about Cheever at all. I never got that impression. I first looked there in 1996, and I’ve always liked that block, and the block of Kane Street that it runs into, though I’ve never been thrilled with the DeGraw Street side.
you have to admit, Cgar, that Cheever is or was kind of a riff-raff block. Cobble am sure would agree.
I’ll chime in here on the confusion over the four family status. The tax status has NOTHING to do with the schedule for what constitutes a conforming loan, which is set by Fannie Mae (and Freddie Mac) who buy most conforming loans from the lenders. Conforming loans are available for 1, 2, 3 and 4 family owner occupied houses, with a ceiling for each type, 1 family being the lowest, 4 family being the highest.
1 family = $417,000
2 family = $533,850
3 family = $645,300
4 family = $801,950
A loan for a particular type of house that exceeds these amounts is considered a jumbo and carries a higher rate. Also, some banks are now using an overlay of 1/8 – 1/4 point if the house is not a 1 family. Also, there are temporary higher conforming loan limits in what are considered high cost areas, and don’t ask me what the banks charge for those.
so pigeon has it right here.
when did I say ‘gut’ reno. I think only said need work..like reconfigure some of layout or at least refreshing. Agree that ‘gut’ is term widely thrown around- especially when people talk about kitchens that just need new cabinets and appliances.
3 houses on Cheever. Only 1 was slightly over $2 million and I think sold for under $2 million. You’re ignoring my point, idiot! I didn’t say they don’t need work. I’m saying they are in MOVE-IN condition and LIVE-IN condition and don’t require GUT renovations BEFORE you move-in. Sheesh. I guess that’s difficult for riff raff like you to understand.
Funkymonkey, you can put a bed wherever you like, as long as you don’t mind peeing in the wet bar.
lot of riffraff on Cheever. or least there used to be. But one of those houses was over $2m and the one under am sure needed plenty of work.
2 or 3 houses on Cheever Place, for example. And I never said they had to be over 3,000 square feet. What I said this morning is that I’m better off with one of these houses than an oversized condo.
no – % that can be raised annually is still limited by law. Same as others. If change CofO, I think that is when can reassess and tax at full amount.
