Really like your video series, and seeing similar price points across the boroughs! Lived in the UES and JC now, it’d be interesting to see a comparison video that optimizes for low maintenance fees.
I live in Forest Hills. It's a great neighborhood. It's really central, Queens. Don't do the local M train. Take the E or F. Around 30...35 minutes to midtown.
All the best for the holidays. The Bronx apt was best value and most workable for a studio.the last one in Manhattan look like a dungeon, was in the basement awful.
@mrmrso228 West of Broadway above 181st to 190th, that's Hudson Heights, which is in part Washington Heights. Obviously it is a known subneighborhood since you knew about it. BTW, no one's making up neighborhoods, just get your facts correct.
Am I the only one that thinks ≤$115k income for a family of 2 owning a $460k+fees home seem ridiculous? How can someone with that income (for 2 people combined!) realistically afford to pay $2890 a month?? It's reasonable for places to cost higher if the people's wages are generally higher, but with that kind of income restriction, are we just intentionally creating unaffordable debts and foreclosures?
On average, it takes 5 years of holding a property to not LOSE money when you sell. If you want to recoup and hopefully profit? Hold the property for at least 5 years.
It's out of control. I'm in London and the same here. Grew up in Australia and it was once very affordable. Not now. Although in Oz I think you get better value but I've been away for about 13 years. You have to smart, work hard and spend your life paying bills. Not everyone can be a super high flyer. Love the pre war buildings.
so i lived in the city and brooklyn for years..then I decided, I'm from CT why not move back? Why?? Only state income, no city tax, $550k for a 1,200sq ft 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house, with an additional 1,000 sq ft basement. Attached garage included 1/2 acre property, 10 minute drive to metro north, 58 minute express train to grand central. Quiet, top public schools, great restaurants, nightlife, diverse...I'm loving being out of NYC
I have the money to buy in NY but i chose to buy in other countries and rent on Airbnb.NY is waaaaay overpriced,taxes are way too high,closing costs too high,too much paperwork and bureaucracy.I expect a huge market correction in 2025 as more rich NYers leave for other states and countries.Also the financial part of your video for co ops is very misleading.It is notoriously hard to get approved by most boards unless you have another year of maintenance and mortgage payments in the bank after down payment and closing costs.Also your maintenance and mortgage monthly payment cannot be more than 30 percent of your monthly income.I would urge most buyers to stay away from HDFC for many many reasons,do your own research.You also need to talk about flip tax,it is important for buyers to know how much money they lose when they sell
The funny part about all this is once you actually understand finances and just know just the BOTTOM BASICS of real estate, you’d understand that most of this is completely by choice, none of the rent/mortgages have to be this high, the numbers all made up based on proximity, demo, and greed…….saying don’t compare NY to anywhere else is exactly why you should because it’s disgusting what the tristate makes you go through for 300-400 sq ft, that if you go 2 states over, down, or up, you’d get it for a fraction of the price, and there really isn’t any plausible explanation other than “because they can”……and I’m saying this from from Jersey 😂

Why are NYC homes so uniquely ugly? I'm not talking about the super high end multi-million dollar places. I'm talking about these "average" places. Having looked at real estate in other cities like Boston and DC, I see gorgeous renovated bathrooms and top notch flooring. The interior finishes of these NYC places, aside from the one in Bushwick, are FUGLY.
Queens and the Bronx were the best overall in my opinion..thanks for the tour😉😊
I agree. Especially the bronx one
I love this video series!!! keep going with $500k
5:40 "This is a great living room because you overlook the subway" 😂😂😂
Ty for quoting the shi I heard. Surely I would not caught on without your smart ass

Thank you so much for this video!😊 it was great.
Thanks for watching!
Fisher Paykel is from New Zealand, not Germany. It is now owned by Haier which is Chinese.
Lols, came here to say that 😂
Good brand tho, he got that part right.
Great video as always! Keep it up, I know 2025 will be awesome for you! Still hoping for some Westchester videos xD
Working on it! Sometimes these videos take us 1 to 2 weeks to coordinate with everyone :) Stay tuned.
It'd be fun to see neighborhood focused videos with mashups of different price points
Good idea!
the bronx location is a steal really, especially for a single person. The area is decent and near everything.
Yup!
What part of Walton Avenue is "decent"?
If you are lucky enough.
it's a co-op.
I live in Forest Hills. It's a great neighborhood. It's really central, Queens. Don't do the local M train. Take the E or F. Around 30...35 minutes to midtown.
Definitely the Bronx property was rhe best. Grest video!

Thanks for the feedback. The manhattan one is on the 3rd floor
I liked the Bronx layout for a studio.
if possible you should upload both types of property listings apartments + property houses side by side
Good idea
Would like to see you explore the Washington Heights/Dyckman, Hudson Heights areas.
There is no such area called Hudson Heights. It’s all Washington Heights. Dyckman isn’t an area, it’s part of Inwood. Stop making up neighborhoods.

I've covered it in a previous video: th-cam.com/video/UI-y_Kifo8E/w-d-xo.html
@@GEOMACIAS Hudson Heights is one of my favorite neighborhoods.
@@mrmrso228 And ppl from the heights call Hudson Heights, Hudson heights

Yo Justin I would love to see some 1.2m$-1.5m$ modern dark bachelor pads 🔥
Got you Fam! Thanks for the support
Crazy the Brooklyn studio is a block from me.
Who lives on the first floor street level in Bushwick?? Do you just come and go through the window?
Bronx was excellent value but the maintenance fee they are screwing you on.
New York should rezone all of Manhattan to allow for more housing.
Why wont be affordable anyways
That is the City of Yes Rezoning that was just passed: www.nyc.gov/site/planning/plans/city-of-yes/city-of-yes-housing-opportunity.page
The Bronx Is Great Value.
It's a co-op.
500k??!! How about 50k??
I just wish I could buy something like the Bronx apartment in Bushwick for under 200 😭😭
I feel you. We can't have it all. There are always tradeoffs.
I’ll come back by 2030 when I’m 27 to buy a place 😂 mark my words. Not you then someone for sure lol

An "average" place in NYC is around $1,000,000.
