The real estate market is more competitive than ever before, with ideal locations in coveted areas of New York seemingly being sold within minutes of going on the market. This can make finding your next condo in the Upper East Side slightly difficult. There are a few steps you can take to simplify the entire process, and a few things to keep in mind in order to find the condo of your dreams while retaining your sanity. Here are the top three tips on finding the best UES condos for sale.
Tip #1: Shop Within Your Budget
Chances are you already have a budget in mind, with basement and ceiling limits. Keeping this range in mind, disregarding condos that are priced well above and far below your budget can help speed along the searching process. By immediately disregarding properties that likely won’t meet your needs you can instead focus on those that do. This is also an excellent want to ensure you get a home with everything you need, without paying more than you can reasonably afford.
Tip #2: Know What You Need
Before you start looking, take a few moments and make a few different lists. The first one should contain everything you absolutely need to have in a condo. Things like the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, proximity to important locations, and any other essential ancillary services should be on this list. Your second list should contain the things that you would like to have in a condo, but aren’t essential to your enjoyment of the building.
Tip #3: Browse Online
Once you have a budget and have a clear idea of what type of condo you need, it’s time to start your search. Going online is a great way to start your search. You can take a look at floor plans, photos of the units and the building, and will have easy access to a list of amenities and services. There will also be easy to find contact information, so you can learn more if you have additional questions.
