Buying and renting each have their pros and cons. We take a look at the benefits and drawbacks of each option and help you understand when it might be worth renting as opposed to buying.
As the economy continues to improve across the United States, big cities are facing massive housing shortages. With more people moving to cities and staying in pursuit of careers and families, populations are outgrowing the supply of housing. This trend is having consequences on infrastructure and also making home prices run away from potential buyers.
Co-ops are the new condos. With demand from international investors reaching record highs for condos, many apartment buyers have been priced out of the condo market. The co-op market is benefiting from this shift and it is resulting in a resurgence in the demand for co-op apartments across NYC.
Window shopping for real estate is a great way to learn what is popular in higher price ranges than you may be able to afford. This is not a bad thing, as it gives you a way to measure good value as you come across properties in your price range that may have similar details as what you previewed when you were window shopping.
It is possible to find apartments that are undervalued and simply apply a little bit of elbow grease and some great staging to get a massive return on investment. We did it ourselves and have the before and after photos to prove it. Check out what a difference a few thousand dollars and some staging make.
