Jackson Heights Life

why the "huh?" intro?

1400 sq ft, 2 bath, 7 rooms....it makes some sense.

Attached is the floor plan of another unit in this some building, also in the G line. It doesn't look like 1400 sq ft. There's no dining room or even a foyer that might be used as a dining room. Maybe the one for sale is combined units?

Condominiums generally garner higher sale prices than co-ops, yes? Are there comps listed for that building?

No doubt it's aggressively priced given the condition. It's likely to sell in the mid-800s. It's a fixer-upper for sure. I noticed they appear to have done a nice job on the floors, except for the room with the red carpet. Which raises the question of what's under that carpet? A stained or damaged floor that needs extensive repair? No pictures of the bathroom is a sure sign of old bath needing renovation.

I wonder if the high price and the lack of enticing pictures has anything to do with the realtor. I don't recognize their name and their listings are a hodgepodge of commercial and residential.

Hmmm.. interesting about the one that sold for $675 in 2015. It just seems like a really high price in a building that does not, as far as I know, have a garden, or any other special amenities, and the apartments themselves, judging by these two listings, are nothing special at all. I've seen so much more beautiful apartments and buildings at that price point in JH. I guess it's true that there are few condo's in this neighborhood, and there is demand for condos, so I guess that makes the prices higher? I just don't see it as a potential buyer--for a fixer-upper in JH this seems like a very high price.

here's another sale at the Elbertson, from about a year ago.
