Every week, we share the most popular sale listing of the week in NYC, as selected by you, our StreetEasy users. The most popular sale for April 13 is a Williamsburg 1BR with oversize windows and floor-to-ceiling built-ins, now on the market for $399,000. The home is listed by Karen Shenker and Rinzin Anyetsang of Compass. (Please note: This is an HDFC building, so the sale is subject to income restrictions.)
As of this writing, this week’s most popular listing has been saved by 606 users.
Assuming a 30-year mortgage and the minimum down payment of 20% ($79,800), total monthly payments are estimated at about $2,248. This includes the mortgage payment ($1,515) and maintenance fee ($733).
The median sale price for a Williamsburg 1BR is $891,000. That puts our most popular sale for April 13 at less than half the average price for the neighborhood! However, per HDFC guidelines, this sale is subject to 2019 income caps of 120% of the AMI ($95,520 for one person, $109,200 for two).
Red-hot Williamsburg hardly seems like a neighborhood to find a bargain in. Between the happening nightlife and the explosion of new construction, median prices there are consistently higher than prices for Brooklyn overall. That’s what makes this Williamsburg 1BR such a find. If you meet the HDFC income restrictions — and if you don’t mind the stairs in this walk-up building — you can score a bright, livable home for $399K.
A handsome renovation offers newly refinished oak floors, a nicely updated kitchen with butcher-block counters, and a stylish bathroom in classic subway tile. The bedroom fits a queen-size bed, and the living room features three oversize windows with deep, sunny windowsills. Opposite those big windows is the best feature of all: a floor-to-ceiling wall of built-ins. There are closed cabinets along the bottom to hide clutter, and enough open shelving up top for books, plants, tech, decor, and more. Gotta love so much storage space!
