I am a Chinese Speaking Real Estate Agent here in Manhattan New York, we have helped many Chinese Speaking buyers (parents) buying for their son or daughter that is currently living in New York city for work or school.  Our team covers various neighborhood of Manhattan from South of 125 Street all the way to Financial District. We also cover some certain neighborhoods of Brooklyn such as Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, Williamsburg, and Downtown Brooklyn.

If your parents are buying the property for you, here are Five Big Tips:

1. If you or your parents are new to Manhattan New York market, please know that there is condo and coop market. There is about 20-30% price difference between both housing product. If you are looking at properties online, it is important for you to know that not all coop will accept a parents buying for children scenario.
2. If the parents are buying a condominium for child, a good rule of thumb would be $1,000 per square foot for Manhattan Condominiums. This price per square foot will vary based on location, condition, building amenities, size and many other variables. But to keep things simple for you, at $1,000 per square foot, if you plan to spend $500,000, we are most likely going to be focusing on studio to alcove studio apartments.
3. Time frame: What is your time frame as to purchase a condo or co-op here? Does your child have a lease that may expire soon? If there is no financing involved, a resale condominium requires about 30-45 days to process a condo application once the contract is signed. If it is a Co-Op, it can take anywhere from 90 days to more to process the co-op board package and interview. If you need financing, the process can be much longer for both Condo and Co-Op.
4. Funds: Is this going to be an all cash transaction? Or is it going to be financing? Prepare your funds and liquidate out of any money market for the down payment is essential. In Manhattan New York, at contract signing, we will require 10% of purchase price as down payment. If you need financing, the bank may require you to put down 20% or more of the purchase price in order to obtain financing.
5. Title of the property: Many of our buyers structure deals differently based on their specific needs and financial picture. Some prefers to co-purchase the property with their young adult child, some prefers the young adult to take title on their own, some prefers to establish an LLC (limited liability corporation) or a trust to hold the Real Estate. According to your needs, we can make some suggestions and also direct you to an expertise attorney who may be able to advise you better.

If you and your parents are from out of town (another country or another state), you may want to let them know that Manhattan Real Estate market is unique and unlike anywhere else in the world. The purchase process is different than anywhere else they are from.  If they are not sure of the purchase procedure, contact us directly at(646)644-6929 or (917)837-8869 so we can help explain it better to them. Call us today so we can help you navigate through the Manhattan Real Estate maze. We work hard to help you have a stress-free purchase. Call us at (917)837-8869 or (646)644-6929 now.

Greenwich Village Apartments for Sale Part 2 Prewar Condos

In this Part 2 series of Greenwich Village Apartment for sale, we will discuss some prewar condos within Greenwich Village. Greenwich Village Real Estate is known for many of its prewar buildings with classic layouts and architectural elements.  The supply of prewar buildings in Greenwich Village like much of the rest of the city is overwhelmingly co-op.  Take for example that currently I see that there are about 120 Greenwich Village prewar apartments for sale in Greenwich Village and 20 of those are in condominium buildings.  If you have wanted to purchase a condominium in Greenwich Village you have been limited to a certain number of buildings including:

25 Fifth Ave - Greenwich Village Prewar Condo

Located on the "Gold Coast" of Fifth Avenue and 9th Street this Greenwich Village Condo building was converted to a condominium in 2000. Like most prewar buildings most apartments in the building have wood-burning fireplaces, high ceilings, ornate architectural details accompanied with a 24-hour concierge, gym, laundry and storage. 25 Fifth Ave is going to be one of the few prewar condominum buildings on Fifth Avenue that will come up on your search for "Greenwich Village Apartments for Sale."

Devonshire House at 28 E 10th St - Greenwich Village PreWar Condo

The Devonshire House is the latest prewar condominium to be added to some of the most desired Greenwich Village prewar condominium real estate apartments for sale.  This 1928 Emery Roth designed building, was recently converted from rental into condominium. The Devonshire House underwent a high end renovation including upgrading the plumbing, electrical and central air-conditioning and to the finishes in each apartment including radiant-heat bathroom floors, detailed moldings, and high end bathroom and kitchen finishes.  The apartments initially made available sold out very quickly, but more apartments are expected to be put on the market in the fall of 2010.

59 W 12th Street - Greenwich Village Prewar Condo 

Built in 1931 by noted New York City architect Emery Roth and built by the equally notable firm Bing and Bing, 59 W 12th St is on of the most highly coveted Greenwich Village prewar condominiums. Located on 12th Street between 5th and the Avenue of the Americas, this location is considered to be one of the most attractive streets in Greenwich Village. Building amenities include 24 hour doorman bicycle and laundry room, and children's playroom. Apartment features include fireplaces, spacious pre-war layouts, along with great southern facing views of downtown Manhattan from the upper floors of this respected building. When apartments come available in the building they are some of the most desired Greenwich Village Apartments for Sale.

Because there are fewer prewar condos for sale in Greenwich Village expect higher prices.  But your purchase will be well rewarded.  If you would like a complete list of Greenwich Village Apartments for Sale or Greenwich Village Apartments for sales (Prewar Condos), contact me today at (917) 837-8869 or email at morgan.evans (at) elliman.com
