wraub Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Lee, just be sure that when the house sells, you get a commission for the listing... Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

videoeditor1 Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 Sorry! I'm now definately in packing mode. Closed on this house today. 3k sq ft + 1k studio ..err basement! I made an offer (Aug) $25k below what the sellers asked, they declined, I was on tour in Oct/Nov when I got a call from my broker that they'd take my offer. The house is 2 yrs old (well, now three - 2002). Gas fireplace, the usual acoutrements, 4br 2.5bth on 1.18 acres... This is Dutchess County NY, exactly 55.2 miles (47 by the crow) from where I am now, but a world of difference. For example, there's no snow on the ground here, there - 6+ inches. Area is called East Fishkill... Wish me luck. I'm tired, broke and tired and broke. NYC Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip OKeefe Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Drew my friend, that is a AWSOME looking house. I am SO happy for you! Yes, you're broke now, but real estate usually goes up in value over the long term... last I heard, they are not making any more land. And in the meantime, you have a cool place to live. Congrats!

js Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 East Fishkill - that's a name from my past... My first job after graduation was with IBM, and I had frequent pilgrimages to East Fishkill (I was designing some equipment for their integrated equipment manufacturing line). IBM is a major employer all along that section of the Hudson. If my memory serves (it was almost 20 years ago), it was a pretty nice town. Congrats on the new place. js Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Base Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Wow, can just picture that house and the grounds covered in snow! You guys are lucky, all your houses seem to be detached (at least in that part of the country, haven't been to any others). Ours are crammed together so you can hear the neighbours sneeze Can you say how much that cost, just out of curiosity, slap me if I'm being too nosy! I am looking at buying my first property and the best I've seen so far is a 1 bedroom flat (apartment to most of you) which is on the market for £126,000 ($236,263).

Shars Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Drew...great to hear you closed on it and nice house! Looks like both of us are in packing and moving mode. Mine is just a little humble pad in Highams Park, London and its got a 100 foot garden with room for expansion and tennis courts at the bottom of the garden and also 3 seperate sports fields and 2 wood lands nearby and studio gained in the garden which is cool. Its been hell this week and about to make the final move on Saturday but decorating in the day and packing at night so pretty busy. Good luck with the move and heres my little house and I love it. But it looks smaller than it really is in the picture. http://hometown.aol.co.uk/SharminHall/new+house+1.JPG www.myspace.com/yacababy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

videoeditor1 Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 Thanks all. Base, the house was slightly north of $1/2M. Put in perspective, the house I bought on 1/8th the acreage, 50 yrs older and about 1000sq ft LESS would cost about $650,000 in Westchester County - so long as it was not in Scarsdale, Hartsdale, Pelham, Pelham Manor, Harrison, Katonah, Mt. Kisco, Briarcliff, Armonk(!), Bedford or Potanico Hills. In all of these areas it would probably cost north of $700k+ and the property taxes would be in the region of $10-15-$20K. I could have gotten the same house for 1/2 the price in other regions in the nation...but a long distance relocate was not in my projections. Now of course I have tons of questions on garage door openers, water softeners, things that look like DEER and (heavens forbid) BEAR prints in the snow, how to maintain a wood deck, etc etc etc. Off to work! Ugh, this ball and chain is really hard to lug around... NYC Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Beautiful house, Drew! Love the trees! Of course, you could probably get the same house here in Kansas City for 1/2 that.. (one of the reasons I love the midwest)...yeah, I know, I know, but "Who wants to live in Kansas City?" (shrug) Shars...is it true that if you're sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun, and the sun don't come, you get a tan from standing in the English rain?
