Discussion about
Would anyone know the best way to attempt to swap a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom tudor with pool in one of Queens better neighborhoods for a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment downtown Manhattan? House should sell at or near 1.7. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
I am guessing by the lack of response that it is highly unlikely this kind of swap is possible.
those are two verrrrrry distinct markets... not too many one or zero kid downtown couples, much less singles, desperate for a queens tudor. good luck tho.
yep, problem is you grow up in forrest hills/jamaica estates,then move to manhattan.
If you end up looking to go back to suburbia, you don't retreat back to queens but end up in Long Island instead.
I agree, I was just thinking that perhaps someone with children might want the extra room and a large yard with pool and still have the low taxes and easy trip to Manhattan. Probably wishful thinking on my part. Thanks for your insight.
hey ready to buy not sure how to take this offline but I'd be willing to discuss with you. my apt has similar value. you can do swap for tax purposes that delay taxes.
I would be happy to speak with you but I am also unsure of how to take it offline.
Why not create a hotmail /gmail/yahoo acct that you put out here. You can the abandon it if it gets filled with spam.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will do that now.
