Discuss: Premiere of Selling New York


52 East 4th Street, The Bowery, Manhattan.

We blogged it out last night! There was a stampede of us real estate junkies forming for weeks, headed for the TV, in anticipation of Selling New York.  The premiere didn't disappoint: a $2.3 million dollar two-bedroom (above); a $5 million dollar pre-war Park Ave. apartment; a divorce; and a fashion week party.  And the agents who joined us in the live blog, the Keier ladies, were all ears! There was a good group of us plying them with questions and here are some of the highlights:


Like I said in the chat, I have a feeling 'Visitors Info' will be our guest Selling New York bloggers' unofficial role!  And oh yes, there will be more guest realtors from the show joining in on our live blogs. Keep an eye out for all our live blogging events here and hopefully we'll see you this coming Wednesday for a live blog of Episode 2.

Anywho, what did you think of the show? Is that apartment above worth $2.3 mil? Was the Park Ave., pad worth $5 mil?

Selling New York airs Wednesdays, at 9pm ET.

I was so disappointed. This does not belong on HGTV it has nothing to do with design. Just over made up people pretending to have spontaneous conversations.

What a dream come true for me to be able to see and virtually tour these beautiful homes.  I counted down the days until Selling New York premiered and I love it and won't miss an episode.

Thank you HGTV

Condo

The American aspiration would be to have two kids, a vehicle along with a residence with a white picket fence. Condos don't have white picket fences. Condos have certainly not produced an inroad being a substitution to get a home in fulfilling the American ideal. Let me count the ways that condos are not a good investment.

Explanation 1

The target market place for the condominium is both recent university graduates that are single or elderly retirees that don't want to preserve a garden. How large is these two demographics as being a percentage from the inhabitants ensures that there will by no means be a excessive demand for condos. A condo fits the requirements of a very small piece from the American inhabitants. The brand new graduates that purchase a apartment constantly desire to trade-up to your residence in a few years following getting raises in their jobs. Once they trade-up to a residence they will never ever desire to own an additional condominium.

Purpose 2

Condos are nothing more than a glorified condominium complicated. Really handful of people need to spend 30 many years of their lives living in an natural environment wherever there is somebody living above, beneath, on the right and to the left of you. Neighbors who play music too loud or who cook with a lot of different spices make the allure of owning a apartment incredibly unappealing.

Explanation 3

Condos also have the damaging of getting a shared workout room. If you want to work out it's crucial to stroll to this workout space and possibly wait until somebody finishes to operate the equipment. In the event you owned a property, you could walk to the next space and work out immediately. This is an additional disadvantage of possessing a condo.

Explanation 4

Condos have monthly affiliation fees that you have to spend. These fees cover the upkeep to the exterior of the building, the common locations and for maintenance. You will find there's board that oversees the condo association. This board can enjoy the authority to dictate what hues you may possibly paint your unit or if or not it is doable to setup a Christmas tree or whether you can have a plant in your balcony. Many folks find these restrictions coupled with all the outrageous charge sufficient to discourage them from owning a apartment.

Cause 5

Condos have conventional experienced a much reduced price tag appreciation than homes. In market declines the price of condos lower much more rapidly than houses. No one wants to make investments six figures in a very area to reside only to find out the value of the property has not elevated 5 several years later. People would considerably somewhat make investments in some thing that will appreciate and condos rarely fit this requirement.
