Hoboken Real Estate | Top 3 Facts About The Spring Market

Hoboken Real Estate Top 3 Facts About The Spring Market




For those looking for Hoboken Condos or looking to unload their Hoboken Real Estate here are the top 3 facts from my April 2011 Hoboken Real Estate Report.




1. The upper middle of the market is coming back. While the million dollar plus Eli Manning Hoboken condos are always in demand for their outlandish size and commanding views, the $600k-$800k segment of the Hoboken Real Estate market has suffered recently. It's back. Only 12 condos over $500k sold in February and 12 over $600k sold in April.




2. The 4% discount. Average sale price to list price of Hoboken condos is holding at 96.1%. This percent is from the final price after price reductions so results may vary but it is a good starting point in your discussions.




3. No Tax Credit Spike: The total number of Hoboken condos under contract remained steady at 78 for the second month in a row. Likely the June and July contracts will not fall as sharply as last year.

1450 Washington construction update

Construction update of those 156 Hoboken Condos at 1450 Washington at Hudson Tea by Toll Brothers



The hammers are swinging, hard hats running around like ball boys at Wimbledon, sparks are flying. According to my sources, 1450 Washington at Hudson Tea is ahead of schedule. March 2012 looks like a real possibility for the lower floors with the higher floors coming in over several months. 156 Hoboken Condos and one retail space. The windows are in. the facade is on.... check out the video












These condos looked like a European train table until the shift of power in the Hoboken city council last night. Let's hope they fight over $25 recreation fees and leave the construction to the professionals.



Want to see them first hand or get more information?

1450 Washington Street at Hudson Tea features a 12 story tower on the north end with a 7 story tower on the south end. The 7 story tower has a courtyard level on the second floor which makes the building horseshoe shaped with an opening facing the Toll Brothers parking garage to the west.

While sharing a condo association with Harborside Lofts and the still to be built Toll Brothers building to the east, Hudson Tea at 1450 Washington Street will have access to the planned swimming pool.

1450 Washington Street at Hudson Tea, according to Toll Brothers will be ready for delivery in March 2012 to July 2012. Construction is ahead of schedule.

Pricing at 1450 Washington Street at Hudson Tea is pretty reasonable for Toll Brothers new construction. There are studios in the low $300,000s, one bedroom starting in the mid 300,000s, and upward through a combined 3br condo of 2000sqft for just over $1.1millon.

Hoboken Condos and The NFL Draft

Hoboken Condos and The NFL Draft

Glued to the tv for the past three days watching the NFL draft, it struck me. Buyers of Hoboken condos and the teams drafting are exactly the same.

Example 1:
There's a prospect that is projected to be a first rounder that falls to the third round. No one knows why. This is just like a well priced condo that takes 3 months instead of three weeks to sell.

Example 2: There is a run on a position. It's supply and demand. A team may really need a linebacker but four quarterback are taken in the first twelve picks. Now the team needs a quarterback too and worries that there won't be any left. So they take a quarterback instead of a linebacker. This is just like the new Hoboken condos at 1450 Washington. There are only five three bedroom condos in the 156 unit building. They were gone in the first day of sales.

Example 3: The head scratcher.... A team moves up and mortgages the world for a player they could of had later. Just like the Hoboken condos buyer that buys for over market with no other offers.

Whether it's Hoboken condos or NFL draft picks (or in the case of Eli Manning, both a Hoboken Condo buyer and NFL draft pick)....The buyer sets the market. For better or worse.
