Ellen - not disagreeing with you but I'm thinking of my particular situation. What would you negotiate for a client who is looking at apartments that get offers at or above the asking price within a week of going on the market?

Thank you for your perspectives. Actually, we don't know the area that well but I still feel that it's quite easy to find listings and pricing. Would a local buyer's agent give you very specific information on buildings beyond what can be found in the financials and board minutes, such as "this small coop has several owners on fixed income who are current on their payments but would not be able to pay more if the elevator needs to be replaced" or "avoid this building because the bakery next doors is noisy"?

I would like to ask those who have bought in Jackson Heights, why did you/did you not decide to work with a buyer's agent? What, in your experience, was the biggest benefit of having one? In general, it seems a good idea to have someone representing your interests but I would like to know what I can expect from an agent. We check the listings on Streeteasy and a number of agencies' websites almost daily, including some smaller and local ones. In the current market situation it does not look like there is a lot of room for negotiation on the price. We already have a lawyer and a mortgage provider. I trust the lawyer to do a thorough job on the financials and board minutes.

Thanks, good to know. I'll try to visit on Saturday mornings. So Sundays are quiet then? Do any of you have Citiquiet windows and does the noise still wake you up when the windows are closed?

Hi All, this is my first post here. We are thinking of moving to Jackson Heights but reading all these threads about airplane noise has made us really worried. Based on the recent posts it seems that the problem continues. We've been to the area 5-6 times but only during the day/afternoon, and I don't remember hearing/seeing any planes. Is there problem worse on some streets? What time of the day and where should we visit to get an idea of how bad it is? Is it bad enough to keep you from moving to Jackson Heights if you were not already living there? Thanks!
