Hello all, I am in the process of a Possible Move from up-state NY
into the city due to a job change and am looking at buying a 1 family House down there.The price for a small detached house on a 80x60foot
Lot NEEDING LOTS OF WORK in a Nice area starts at $375,000[:0].I can honestly say the home prices are out of control in NYC and Folks are lined up to buy them,What are Home prices in your neck of the woods?
How does a working family Buy one at these prices, I went over the figures with the woman and if i wanted to buy a 400K house with 100K
down my mortgage would be reaching near 3K a month! I think we will just Have to stay up-state, as it looks to us only rich folks can Buy a small house down there[xx(] or am i missing something Guys?

Luckily my price was locked in & I didn't sell the house I had until shortly before we moved. Many of the people had believed the much earlier move-in dates we had been given & had sold their houses & had to rent & store furniture for almost a year.
Prices here have continued to roar away at that rate or more since.
It's totally out of control & I believe we are in for a nasty fall when interest rates begin to rise.
People don't care what the price is, all they care about is the monthly payment. When the interest rates rise the monthly payment increase will devastate the housing market. The other factor that will hurt will be that when prices do start to fall the frenzy to buy will end. Pop goes the bubble.
Commute to Salem is 25 minutes. Beaverton about an hour and Portland about 1 1/4 hours. 20 minutes from th Pacific Ocean beaches.

He bought a condo that has 383 Square Feet in it.

I've appraised houses here in southern maryland with bathrooms bigger than his condo!
Stay upstate if you have a choice.

My brother recently moved to Pennsylvania from Wisconsin. He had a very nice house on 5 acres. He figured on not spending more than $150,000 on a home in PA, near the MD, DE border. No chance. He upped it to 200,000- no chance. He finally went up to $250,000 and barely squeaked in. He got a nice house, but not what he expected. He obviously had no idea what the real estate was in the area, I finally asked him what he got for the house in Wisconsin-I was shocked- $130,000. I almost fell out of my chair. If his house in Wisconsin was located here in the Philly Suburbs, he would easily fetch$400,000. We sold our 2 bedroom condo for $170,000-and he sells a 4 bedroom house, 2 baths, basement, big garage, on four acres bordering federal lands for $130,000.

The good news is that I'm over 50 miles from the ghetto of Detroit (which is a bad commute but I breathe clean air).
The closer you get to the city the lower the price of homes. Once you get into the city you can get huge, old homes with 2 fireplaces, wood bannisters, and original hardwood floors for $100,000 or less. Of course, you won't want to go outside at night...

My son just got a job in NYC and lives in the "Village".
He bought a condo that has 383 Square Feet in it.
Cost: $245,000
The Village is in Manhatten, My job would be in Brooklyn and i was looking on Staten Island which is like kind of like a Suburb
of the City.....Very quiet and one of the safest places to live in the city IMO and a good half hour drive to brooklyn not during rush hour Of course[xx(]. But The home prices you guys are shooting me is flipping me out,At this point the only thing we could afford is an apartment and that is not going to happen.Most likely going to refuse the transfer and stick with what we have.

By the time everything was done, I talked the previous owner down to $75,900. I also was able to get her to make some repairs that needed done, and pay all the closing costs plus other fees.
My grandfather once told me,"It's not what a man possesses that determines the importance and quality of his life, but rather what possesses the man.
Manhattan is a completely different situation. I work in retail real estate and store space that might go for $50.00 a square foot at your local mall can easily go for ten times that in Manhattan. Like the man said about land, "They ain't makin' any more of it."
