Greenwich Village Condos for Sale – Part 1 Studio and 1 Bedroom Condos : 2015 Edition

Greenwich Village Condos for Sale – Part 1 Studio and 1 Bedroom Condos

If you just started looking for a studio or 1 bedroom condo for sale in the Greenwich Village neighborhood in Manhattan, we will be candid to tell you that it will not be the most straight forward home search.  This Greenwich Village segment of the Real Estate market here in Manhattan that is one of the most highly sought after and competitive area’s of the market.  As we begin to work together, you will discover that there is extremely limited amount of inventory to choose with way more buyers demand than there is supply. We recently wrote a blog post about Two Bedroom Condo market in Greenwich Village, You can read it by click here (https://manhattannycondosforsale.com/greenwich-village-condos-for-sale-two-bedroom-condominiums/)

The Greenwich Village neighborhood is one of the most well established, highly desired, historically significant, easy to live in neighborhoods in Manhattan.  You always hear the saying that in Real Estate, location is everything.  When you are talking about Manhattan downtown Real Estate, they are most likely talking about Greenwich Village.  Greenwich Village is at the epicenter of some of New York City’s finest and most populous universities.  Students from all over the world and country attending to New York University, NYU Law School or the Stern School of Business, or Parson’s School of Design, all of these students and their parents look for housing in or around the Greenwich Village neighborhood and even more specifically they look for studio and 1 bedroom condominiums.

GreenwichVillageCondosForSale

The reason why all of these universities play a pivotal role in the studio and 1 bedroom condominium market in Greenwich Village is because there are a lot of parents buying for children to live in a studio or 1 bedroom condo while they go to school in New York. Many investor buyers that we work with also look for studio and one bedroom condo in Greenwich village because they know there is a high rental demand as well.  This type of purchase makes a lot of sense as the university provides a steady stream of demand side.

The desirability of Greenwich Village is multi-faceted, we often hear that people want that authentic New York City living experience, the tree-lined streets, pre-war architecture, walk to your favorite coffee shop or dinner spot.  Greenwich Village has all of those characteristics.  Many people want to live in Greenwich Village because its simply a fantastic neighborhood, there are a lot of people looking at the purchase as an owner occupied long term buy.  Even though we talk about the demand side of university students, we also work with people looking to buy and use the apartment as their primary residence or a second home or pied a terre when they are in Manhattan.

This describes the demand side of the equation for the Studio and 1 Bedroom condominium market in Greenwich Village, the other side is the supply side, what is actually available and this is a very strategic part of your search as well.  We wrote a similar blog to this one, back in September of 2010, nearly 5 years to the date, how time flys! In retrospect, anybody who bought in 2010 has scene a tremendous return on the equity of their purchase.  Back in September of 2010, we tracked Eight different studio or 1 bedroom condominiums being on the market for sale and the entry level pricing for a studio at the time was $575,000 and for a 1 bedroom condominium was $895,000.

GreenwichVillageCondosForSale2

Fast forward 5 years, the entry level pricing for a studio condominium in the same building(184 Thompson Street) as before is now asking $765,000, a 33% increase in price! We are curious in another 5 years, in 2020 when we do this report again what the price point will be?

Taking a snapshot at today’s inventory, we only see 6 One Bedroom Condominium Apartments for Sale within Greenwich Village and the price range is from $1,650,000-$3,650,000.  Not a lot to choose from with a significant increase in the entry price point now for a 1 Bedroom Condominium.

Looking at Closed Sales for One Bedrooms in 2015, it looks like the lowest priced one bedrooms are now at $1,300,000 with an average price per sq ft around $1700 sq/ft.  Back in 2010, the price per square foot was around $1100-1200 sq/ft.

GreenwichVillageCondosForSale3

So what is the difference in the price range, why does it go from $1,300,000 all the way up to $3,500,000 for a One Bedroom Condominium?

In Greenwich Village, you have a variety of styles of building, first being the doorman condominium versus no-doorman condominium.  No doorman is fairly self explanatory and these buildings tend to have the lower priced point apartments.  then within the doorman category, we track the postwar condominiums vs the pre-war condominiums and then the new construction condominiums in Greenwich Village at the time of the price pyramid.

The postwar buildings do not have all of the architectural details and historical significance that the pre-war condominiums do.  And the new construction condominiums tend to have a pre-war aesthetic built out with today’s luxury standards.

A very important factor in the supply of studios and one bedroom condominiums in Greenwich Village is also impacted by the very fact that there are just simply not that many condominium buildings.  The vast majority of the buildings in the neighborhood are co-operatives or rentals.  So you simply have a constrained inventory to choose from and it’s very difficult to add new condominiums into the marketplace, as development sites and building restrictions make new projects very rare.

The rarity of new construction is one of the reasons why that segment of the condominium marketplace is priced at a premium.  New condominiums being built at the Greenwich Lane on 12th Street, or the boutique new developments such as 12 East 13th Street or 17 East 12th Street have sold very well, and typically the apartments are bigger in size with very few if any 1 bedroom or studio condominiums.

So what to do if you are looking for a studio or 1 bedroom condominium?

To sum it up,  there is a ton of demand for them and basically not a lot available regardless of the high price point.

We’ve helped and continue to help many buyers who want to buy a condo in Greenwich Village, one of our first pieces of advice is to have an open mind.

Open mind, in that your budget will instantly dictate what is available for sale and second that you should be open minded to possibly look outside the Greenwich Village neighborhood.  Looking in certain parts of Chelsea, or certain parts of the West Village or the Flat Iron District may offer a bit more apartment for the money.

Top Condos Near NYU New York University

Top Condos Near NYU New York University

Are you looking to buy or rent a condominium near NYU in Manhattan? You’ve come to the right place, we will educate you on the process and explain to you our unique Manhattan New York Real Estate market. We have helped many parents buying for son or daughter that is going to be going to NYU or currently attending NYU in finding the right condo for them.

First things first, when we are talking about NYU, we are focusing on the main New York University campus in Greenwich Village.  Within the main campus you will also find the NYU Stern School of Business and NYU Law School.

For those of you looking for condominiums near NYU School of Medicine or the NYU College of Dentistry take a look here. Or click on this link: https://manhattannycondosforsale.com/condos-near-svathe-school-of-visual-arts/ (the School of Visual Art, SVA, is also in the same area as NYU Medicine school and NYU College of Dentistry)

If you are looking to buy a condominium near NYU here is a list of things you must know:

1. Most of the property surrounding NYU is either rental buildings or Cooperative buildings, there are very few condominium buildings that you can purchase in.  Meaning, expect a limited amount of inventory. There is very unique difference between a condo and a coop, this is a must know if you are looking to purchase for your son or daughter. To read more about the difference, you can click on the explanation link below.

(https://manhattannycondosforsale.com/manhattan-new-york-buyer-guide-part-1-know-the-housing-product/)

The reason why a condominium building is much more preferred than a Co-operative is because condominium provides real ownership and much more flexibility and ease of purchase. To learn more about condominium owner versus cooperative ownership click here:

 

125East 12

2. The main NYU campus is found in the Greenwich Village neighborhood, however there are other wonderful Manhattan New York Downtown neighborhoods within very short commutes to the campus.  Meaning it’s worthwhile to look in the West Village, the East Village, parts of Soho, the Flatiron neighborhood and even Gramercy and Chelsea.

There are a lot of surrounding neighborhoods by the school that are fairly close, just depending on how close you want to be.

3. What is your timeline? The purchase process for a condominium even if you are an all cash buyer, can take 30-45 days once you sign a contract for sale.  If you are financing, add on additional 60-90 days at the very least.

This means if you are looking to close before school starts you will need to probably start looking 60 days prior to give you a chance to move in before school.

Zachary2

4. Condos near NYU are highly sought after, and the price reflects this.  Greenwich Village is one of the most desired neighborhoods in Manhattan and for good reason, extremely well positioned, a combination of historic value with neighborhood amenities, demand coming from both buyers who love the neighborhood and for buyers who are purchasing to just be close to the multiple university campus’s that are found within it’s borders.

We are experienced Real Estate agents who focus on the condominium sales market, we also work with many parents like yourself looking to purchase a condo for the son or daughter. If you are ready to start your search or simply want an idea of what condominiums are currently available near the NYU campus, call us at (917)837-8869 and we can discuss what your needs are and make recommendation to you.

136 Baxter Street Condos for Sale – The Machinery Exchange Building – Little Italy Manhattan

Leave a reply

136 Baxter Street Condos for Sale – The Machinery Exchange Building – Little Italy Manhattan

136 Baxter Street Condominium136 Baxter Street known as the Machinery Exchange Building has to be one of the very most intriguing buildings in this location where Little Italy, Chinatown, Soho and Nolita all come together.  Originally built in 1915 as a stable  for the police headquarters which was located just a few blocks north on Centre Street, which in itself has become one of the most unique residential buildings in downtown Manhattan.  About a decade later, the building was sold and shifted into a warehouse for machinery and where its current name originated from, The Machinery Exchange Building.

In 2007, the building was bought and the condo-conversion began.  The developers chose to highlight and focus on the downtown loft features that buyer’s are so often attracted to. A boutique building of just 14 residences spread out over 6 floors for Condos for Sale at 136 Baxter Street.

Features and Benefits at Condos for Sale at 136 Baxter Street , The Machinery Exchange Building

First, you have to start with the exterior of the building.  The red brick was handsomely restored and they left the faded painted name, a very smart aesthetic decision.  The exterior of the building epitomizes the pre-war condominium loft look that is so popular for downtown Manhattan buyers.

The apartments themselves have some very distinguishable features, probably the most noteworthy are the Yellow Pine Wood Ceilings with  exposed Timber Beams.  These are loft style apartments so ceiling height is what you’d expect, ranging from 11-13 ft tall, also combining exposed brick, you have this combination of features that is very beautiful and epitomizes the aesthetic of the pre-war Manhattan condominium loft look.  Lots of light, apartments have abundant windows.

Highlighting all of these pre-war elements you also have  luxury kitchens and bathrooms. Kitchens are outfitted with Valcucine brushed aluminum cabinetry, Bianco Luna countertops, Miele ranges and ovens, and Sub-Zero refrigerators. Bathrooms are beautiful with their glass and limestone tiles, soaking tub, walk in shower stall, and dual vanities in the Master Bathroom.

136BaxterStreetCondosforSalePricing for Condominiums for Sale at 136 Baxter Street, the Machinery Exchange Building

With just 14 residences, apartments rarely come up for sale in the building.  In 2013, a corner Two Bedroom 1500+sq ft, sold for just under $2,100,000.  And a Penthouse 3 Bedroom with private terrace sold for $3,800,000.

In today’s marketplace as of July 2013, I’d expect pricing to definitely increase from when the building was first sold out in 2008.

What to do in the Neighborhood around 136 Baxter Street?

Home to trendy boutique shopping, historic Mulberry Street just one block away, the energy of this downtown location is hard to beat.  This is a downtown Manhattan location that has a little bit of everything, if you want to go sit and relax in the cafes and restaurants of Soho and Nolita you are just minutes away, the kinetic energy of Mulberry Street and the the Lower East Side are also just minutes away.  If you are looking for multiple transportation options you are within minutes  of multiple subway lines.  A dynamic neighborhood that has the energy of downtown Manhattan and a building located on a tree-lined street that combines the very best of loft architecture with modern finishes and convenience, 136 Baxter Street Condominiums for Sale is a must see for any downtown Manhattan condominium loft buyer.
