There are a couple of things that you want to do when you are shopping for upper east side condos for sale and a couple of things that you do not want to do to ensure that you end up with a place that you love. Here are the two lists of do’s and don’ts.
The Don’ts Go First
- Don’t buy a “bargain” unless you have thoroughly vetted it
- Don’t listen to negative agents that tell you it is all about “the compromise”
- Don’t discount Midtown East
- Don’t settle
Do
- Set your standards high
- Consider the lifestyle you want to live
- Expect to fall in love
The don’ts are some of the biggest mistakes that people make when they are shopping for upper east side condos for sale. They set their standards low because of the competitive market or because they are just in a hurry and want to get through the process. If your heart is set on the UES, then go for it, don’t settle for a neighborhood you are not going to be happy in. Buying a condo in an area you do not want to live just because it is a “bargain” is the wrong reason to buy. If you have an agent and they are hammering the “compromise” ask them to make an appointment to see condos at 200 E 62nd, it could be a good learning experience for them.
The Do’s
You should start your shopping at 200 E 62nd street to get a feel for what the right condo should offer, there is a good chance if you start there you will wind up living there. That building can check your “do” list off nicely. Call for an appointment for a viewing!
