Sun, 05 Feb 2012 10:01:30 -0500

New York Knicks welcomes Jeremy Lin - Taiwanese American descent basketball player from California.

Even though it is Superbowl Sunday, I could not resist to write a blog post about a New York Knicks basketball player that is Taiwanese American descent as myself.

Last night, Jeremy Lin with the rest of New York Knicks play in Madison Square Garden, he scored career-high 25 points, seven assists, and five rebounds in leading New York to a 99-92 victory over New Jersey Nets. And the New York Knicks fan were uproar cheering for this new and up and coming Asian American basketball player.

In end of 2011, Jeremy Lin joined New York Knicks from San Francisco Golden State Warriors, making him the fourth ASIAN AMERICAN and FIRST American born Taiwanese-Chinese basketball player to join NBA.

He is 22 years old, 6'3 tall with laser focus ambition had helped him succeed not only in basketball, he is also a proud Harvard University graduate.

In a recent press conference, Jeremy Lin said "It's humbling, a privilege, and a honor. I'm really proud of being Chinese, I'm really proud of my parents being from Taiwan. I just thank God for the opportunity."

Overall Thoughts for 2011 Sales at Georgetown Plaza at 60 East 8th Street

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 08:48:53 -0500

Overall Thoughts for 2011 Sales at Georgetown Plaza at 60 East 8th Street:

Georgetown Plaza is one of the only cond-op buildings in the Greenwich Village/ Union Square neighborhood. Because it is investor friendly and has flexible purchase policies, it has become one of the more desirable buildings. Apartments when priced within the most recent comparable sales, typically sell quickly and at strong prices.

The roof top deck and views are always a major attribute to the building. Renovated apartments are selling the quickest and at the highest prices, as most buyers do not want to go through a lengthy renovation process. Because of the close vicinity to NYU (New York Univeristy), there is always a consistent demand for rentals, making apartments in the building equally attractive for an investor looking to rent out the apartment. A very low supply of apartments is expected and we continue to see most apartments go into contract quickly when coming available.

Most apartments sold close to their asking prices, something that we expect to see in 2012. Georgetown Plaza is one of the most well established buildings in the Greenwich Village neighborhood and we continue to see strong demand in the foreseeable future.

We hope you have found our market report valuable and informative.
In this consumer savvy and an immediate need for information days and age, it is most beneficial to work with a real estate agent who knows the market and understands the subtle differences that can make a big difference. If you are interested in condops for Sale at Georgetown Plaza or in the Greenwich Village neighborhood call us directly at (917)837-8869 or email us at http://manhattannycondosforsale.com/contact/

We look forward to speaking with you.

Café Gitane - French & Moroccan Cafe in Nolita Manhattan New York

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:42:04 -0500

Café Gitane - French & Moroccan Cafe in Nolita Manhattan New York

New York city today was almost 60 degrees, so few friends and I decided to meet up for a quick lunch in NoLiTa, one of the trendiest neighborhood in New York city.

We wanted to have a fun lunch so we decided to visit Cafe Gitane, a French and Moroccan cafe that is known for their baked eggs, couscous,

mint tea and avacado toasts.

We had a great time dining there along with all the fashionistas in this popular downtown neighborhood. Some stars such Leonardo DiCaprio, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jude Law and few more have also seen having a tea time at Cafe Gitane.

Next time you are in town, be sure to go to Cafe Gitane and get a table outside so you can people watch while sitting your mint ice tea or caffe'.

3 Big Important Points to determine a Good Manhattan New York Investment

Morgan Evans-New York City Real Estate Expert (Prudential Douglas Elliman) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:52:42 -0500

We talked with a potential buyer today from Australia who is looking to purchase a condo investment here in Manhattan New York. We suggested her few points when it comes to determine a good Manhattan condo purchase, and this is helpful for other potential buyers as well.

1)Location: Walkability is very important in Manhattan New York. Convenient location for public transportation, Manhattannites depend on subway, trains and buses to move around in this big city. If the building is near a subway station, the condo is much easier to rent out or resell when that time comes. No one ever complains about having too many transportation options, but they definitely complain about having to walk 15 minutes just to get to a subway.

2)Carrying charge: If this is an all cash purchase with no mortgage payment. The owner (or landlord) is responsible to pay monthly condocommon charge and Real Estate taxes. So the lower combined carrying charge (the common charge and Real Estate taxes), the more net profit there is on the investment. Every building is different when it comes to the common charges and real estate taxes so determining the value proposition each building has is a necessary aspect of the purchase.

3)Sale price: The sales price of the condo is relevant to what has been sold in the building before, for example, if in the same building, condition, exposure, square footage size and layout is the same sold for $1,200,000 last week, and you can buy the downstairs unit with identical condition and layout for $990,000 because the seller is very motivated, then you may be buying "a deal", relative to units in the building. When it comes to sales price comparison of ‘a deal’, it is always ideal to compare within the same building, same neighborhood, same period of time (month/week), condition and exposure of the condo to determine if it is a good deal or not.

When determining a good Manhattan New York condo investment, ultimately we are talking about a condo unit(s) that is going to hold it’s value and have the best opportunity to maximize appreciation in the future. Every buyer comes with their own thoughts on what makes a good investment, but as an active Real Estate agent in the Manhattan condominium market our experience will help you make a more well informed buying decision.

Call us today at (917)837-8869 so we can discuss in detail how we can find you the perfect Manhattan New York investment.

Georgetown Plaza Part 1- Studio Size Apartment- 60 East 8th Street New York, New York 2011 Year in Review Market Report

This 2011 Year in Review for Georgetown Plaza Market Report is going to detail the sales activity that occurred in the building. There is a breakdown of the different sized apartments along with the closing prices, original asking prices, and other pertinent information for each type of apartment. As you go through the report we would like to mention a couple of things to keep in mind. We try to use a number of different resources to cross reference sales figures, any reference to asking prices estimates or specific layouts. These numbers may be updated as new information presents itself. In regards to sizes of apartments, we rely on the building offering plan and various online websites as a reference tool, however any reference to a size of an apartment is approximate.

In 2011, we tracked that 11 sales occurring in the building.
Some of the sales were private sales without coming on the open market however, every sale gives an overall idea of the price point that apartments are selling at. Keep in mind that often other factors can be involved in a sale, so a sale price doesn’t always tell the whole story.

Studio’s at Georgetown Plaza

Apartment Closing Price Original Asking Price 4J $585,000 $599,000

This was the only studio that came on the market in 2011 at Georgetown Plaza.
There are very few studio’s that come on the market for sale in the building. This type of apartment will generally sell very quickly if priced well because of the demand for this price point in the Greenwich Village neighborhood.

Manhattan New York cooperative housing market

Morgan Evans-New York City Real Estate Expert (Prudential Douglas Elliman) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 23:08:52 -0500

Buying an apartment in New York City will be an exciting and also daunting experience. Because New York City offers a unique buying experience with many of its own quirks and differences the first step for any New York City first time homebuyer or first time investor is to become well informed and educated about the different real estate products you will be looking at to ensure your experience will be as calm and rewarding as possible.

1. Co-Op:

A phenomenon that's almost unique to Manhattan, the Co-Op Apartment, has been the traditional form of ownership in New York City for the last century. About 80% of all apartments available for purchase are in co-operative buildings. Co-ops are owned by an apartment corporation. When you purchase within a co-op building, you're purchasing shares of the corporation that entitle you, as a shareholder, to a "proprietary lease." The bigger your apartment, the more shares of the corporation you own.

Standard Co-Op apartments: Board approval is required. You are buying shares of corporation, you are required to put down 20% or more of down payment, there will be a full financial disclosure, debt to income ratio requirement and board interviewing process. Each Co-Op building has their own financial requirements and criteria, some are more flexible than others, such as allowing guarantor, co-purchase, gift money from parents, pied-a-terre, your debt to income ratio, work history, down payment required...

Subleasing a co-op can be difficult. The board of directors will have to approve the prospective tenant subleasing your apartment. Each building will have their own rules regarding for how long you can lease your unit and other criteria.

All prospective purchasers must interview with the Board of Directors. Prior to the interview, prospective purchasers prepare a detailed "Board Package" which usually contains personal and professional letters of recommendation as well as a great deal of personal information concerning income and assets.

Sponsor Co-Op apartments: NO Board approval is required. These are Apartments that are held as an investment by the sponsor , the original developer who built the building or converted the building to a co-op. Sponsor units command a premium because people who might not pass a board or don't want to go through a board approval process can buy them.

For example, a sponsor unit would be a good choice for parents who want to buy an apartment for a child who is a student. A sponsor unit may be the best apartment for someone who is not working, or only has a short job history. Buyers of a sponsor unit should take note that they will need to pay NY State and NY City transfer taxes, and often the seller's attorney fees. You still have to submit a board package (Homeland Security! The management company needs to know who is moving into their building) and you almost always have to abide by the building's house rules as far as sublet requirements and pets.

We have helped many buyers purchasing coop and condos in Manhattan New York. If you are a first time home buyer in Manhattan New York, it is important to team up with a market expert to help you navigate through it. Call us today at (917)837-8869 so we can discuss what will work best for you.

Chinese New Years-Red Envelopes giving

Sun, 22 Jan 2012 22:44:53 -0500

Red envelopes givings are a fun part of Chinese New Year tradition in my opinion, mostly at family gatherings Lunar New Year or wedding. The red color of the envelope means good luck and is supposed to ward off evil spirits.

What goes in the Red envelopes? Usually money. The amount of money in the envelope usually ends with an even digit,such as 88 and 168 are both lucky numbers. But it is the tradition that money should not be given in "4"s, or the number four should not appear in the amount, such as 44 nor 444 as the sounding pronunciation of the word "four" resembles that of the word "death", and it signifies bad luck for many Chinese.

During the Lunar New Year, red envelopes are typically given by the married to the unmarried, most to young children. It is traditional to put brand new money inside red envelopes, as well as to avoid opening the envelopes in front of the relatives to show respect.

Since it is Chinese New Year, we will be hanging out few Red Envelopes to others.

Happy Chinese New Year!
