anyone know what's going on here? There wss a negative review written back in May but since that time it seems like units are selling and closing and deals are happening in this development. Last I checked 14 out of 20 units are now sold or in contract. Kinda regret listening to the negative reviews and not getting in back in may when I saw the units.

You seem to know quite a bit about what's going on.

Do you think people here are retarded?

I pay 10 dollars a month for the streeteasy inside information like the rest of you -- not a broker. Live in stuy town and can now stay at a RS rent thanks to the court of appeals til 2016 at least. That said..I have buyers' remorse bc I listened to all the whiners on this site and didn't buy back in May. What's a "heeseball?"

from what i know, developer only had deals on the first building, all small spaces and and the units that were inferior but definitely were low priced. there are still units available for sale, i'm sure you can present an offer to the developer. Good Luck

You blame Streeteasy posters for your not buying yourself an apt? Look in a mirror, pal, we are all responsible for our own decisions.

Do you think prices have gone up since May? No frigging way. Go out and buy, Mortimer, buy!

Well its too far from everything, wall street is 15-20 mins away walking. Doesn't look luxury, but they want a premium.. Taxes are as high as in NJ...

Modern..I blame MYSELF for listening to the whiners...so the mirror it is. Yes..according to this site 78 leonard is completely sold..2 are in contract in 80 leonard. Unfortunately for me, larger apts are out of my price range. I get an email every day for condos over 1250 square feet priced at 1 million or less and other than living in harlem or the upper east side (both inferior locations..as i'm sure NYC 10013 would agree) nothing's out there. Most of the modern stuff in Tribeca is 1000 square feet 2 bedrooms..no way I'd leave stuy town for that. Darkbird - you are off on taxes in NJ. NJ sets taxes based on sales prices and they run usually about 1 percent ...so 1.5 million dollar condos have 15k taxes per year (this place is less). The upshot is streeteasy really is a great site and I feel fully informed for when the next opportunity arises. And if you don't think the pendulum began to swing back toward sellers (it's still def a buyers market) you haven't had been paying attention.

"I have buyers' remorse bc I listened to all the whiners on this site and didn't buy back in May"

you got to be kidding? what about the se posters in 2007 or 2008 that discussed the depth of the credit crisis in the face of all the bulls? what if you would have bought then?

People have a tendency to believe they would have pulled the trigger at the exact bottom if it werent for 'x' and of course they didnt pull the trigger at the top because they were so savvy and ignored 'y'. Hindsight is 20/20. Its nice to know what you know now and criticize not buying almost 6 months ago when fear was much greater and armageddon still kind of on the table.

so what did you miss? a 2M pad at peak, traded at 1.4M in March/April and is now at 1.55M or so?

WHAT?!
NY: 1,375,000 tax :$1,146/mo

According to your math, $1% of 1,375,000 divided by 12: $1145.83. Its freaking the same.
