He tells me that this weekend we should look at these new condo's built in astoria, they should be open soon they were building them. I told him i heard they were charging alot but he said the real estate agent told him the prices are negotiable but the prices are so high even negotiating it won't help ...for these prices might as well buy a house rather than $500-700k for 1 and 2 bedroom apartments. Of course i continue to look at all the new Long island city and astoria apartments and lofts built some are 700k for one bedroom W**
here is the building he wants to check out this weekend
and here are random pics of apartments in long island city and astoria. Many of these are about $800-1.6 million for apartments its getting insane. The prices are still high for these places, no matter how the market is although im sure there is room for negotiating but still lol...fh had no idea about the prices for the condos he wants to look at, i think he didnt want to believe what ive been telling him for a while and hoping it'd be lower

Wow those are gorgeous! It's amazing how much cheaper things get once you get out of NY.
There are apartments out here like that but they are nowhere near the price.... which is making things so much more complicated about whether to move back to NY or not
where do you live?
the lofts in brooklyn like in the williamsburg area, park slope and those parts are more
I go to law school in St. Louis. Not sure if we're going to stay here after I graduate or move back to NY (probably the city, because the NY job I'd be taking is in the city)
We have a ~1200 square foot 2br/2bath apartment, hardwood floors, bay windows, brand new, w/d in our apt, large kitchen w/ breakfast bar, large bathrooms, huge elevator, nice lobby, gated parking, etc in one of the more expensive areas based on location. One of my BMs paid more rent for her 450 sq ft studio in Manhattan It's kind of scary to think how much more we'll have to pay for a decent apartment
yeah in other places outside of NY you get so much for your money, in NYC you get so little for your money and alot of money actually

WOW if mid 200's is alot what are the other ones, i could only imagine. It's sad but look at the market, people buy what they can't afford
