Are We Paying Too Much???

[spanky]

Sorry for the newbie question, but is 2.5 mill too much for a new 3 bedroom 3 bath with 1900 sq ft off of East 53rd? Supposedly has views of the Chrysler building.

Good amenities: doorman, garage, 9 ft ceilings, gym, kids room, viking/miele/ subzero appliances.

Also, how much wiggle room is there usually with these new developers? Do you bargain at all in the current market, or do you just pay retail?

I know, tough to answer given personal preferences, priorities, and opinion of the market overall, but any input would still be helpful.

Thanks,
Won.

monthlies? tax abatement?

with a new development you may have some luck negotiating down the closing costs...

Are you buying in the Veneto? Usually, with new developments you should be able to negotiate. What is the asking price?
