The link, below, is busted.
Any other options for square footage comparisons?

Keller Williams Realty also puts out a quarterly market report that gives a breakdown of price per square foot in DJC and Hoboken as well.

Nope, unfortunately I think you need to schedule a viewing and go through the whole pitch. It really only takes about 20 minutes to walk through the two models they have set-up.

I bought in the Oakman, taxes at .9% and HOA in the low $400s for a 1BR with a balcony. For my sake I hope we one day see $2000 per sq foot lol


Is there a site where we can see unit layouts, sq footage and prices? There is nothing on their sales site.

Not so sure I agree that those renters will be considered as a significant gauge for what the overall demand curve will be for The Oakman and other new luxury DTJC condo will be. Once sales open to the public including all the NYC shoppers who are used to seeing luxury buildings with those kinds of luxury doorman buildings sell for over $2,000/sf with higher HOA and tax, the perception of what constitutes "too high" completely changes, and DTJC even at these new price heights becomes an attractive bargain alternative to consider.
I guess you can say I echo the others on these boards who say that certain areas of DTJC will continue to follow a similar path of Brooklyn, LIC, etc. where prices continue to surpass levels that nobody thought would be feasible.

bodhipooh,

Are you sure oakman sales has started? when i emailed them they said sale wont start until sept, and i havent heard any updates since from the mailing list.

also Provost Square is a rental not a condo.


Yes, I am sure Oakman started the process of "pre-sales". There were private showings for residents, and that was expanded to "friends and family". If you call JCRealty, you can get someone to show you the demo units. The "public" sale period will not start until later this year.

As for Provost Square, the first phase (The Morgan) is an all rental building, but the next phases will include condo units. In total, there will be three buildings encompassing 925 rental and condo units.


If this is true, why would the Oakman lower its prices based on underwhelming "pre-sale" numbers? I'd think they'd wait to see how the public sale period goes before slashing prices.

There may be some new construction with a full 2.1% tax, but I have visited The Oakman and they have a 20-year tax abatement starting around 0.9%. Not sure about the other buildings in the area but I'd have to assume they are not the only one with an abatement.


Thanks for the information on the abatement. I had heard they had an abatement but wasn't sure what it was. I have been meaning to go check out the units and get all the relevant details, but I haven't had a chance to do so.

Indeed, many condos going to market get multiple bids (many all cash offers) but that is a result of foreign buyers participating in our market, and desirable/good units. Not every condo is being snapped up. The Gannon is about 27 units, and only 7 or 8 have sold. They have been at it for over a month, maybe two, now and that is a fairly slow pace for what is supposed to be a hot market. I know for a fact that they just lowered their prices by a good amount. New price sheets are being printed and distributed during visits.

Curious what the current DTJC condo market looks like in terms of 1, 2 and 3BR.

Is that premium still true or do you think there is more demand now for larger condos? Hard to even find 3BRs so maybe just comparing 1 and 2 bedroom units is better. Just curious what people are seeing.

Thanks


There does seem to be a bit of a premium on 1BR units, but that's easy to explain. There are some base costs that are the same/similar regardless of number of bedrooms: some elements will be the same amount, such as kitchen appliances and cabinets are the same amount/volume for both type of units, the amount of doors inside (except, perhaps the additional one for the extra bedroom, and perhaps the closet space/area) and other such things. What I do find interesting is that builders have been slow to introduce larger units into the marketplace. Finding a three bedroom is hard, both for rentals and for sale. The ArtHouse JC had a total of ~12 (including two penthouses) which is a smidgen over 10%. The Morgan has a handful of 3-bd units, and that is a HUGE building. Maddox didnt have any, and I think Warren at York didn't have any either. It's a shame. I think that for young, growing families, one of the problems with JC is not just the subpar school system, but also that the availability of housing stock to accommodate a growing family is sorely lacking.
