The literal definition of “luxury real estate” includes any property that sells in the top 10% of the
market. However, that doesn’t always equal highly praised amenities and stunning architecture.
A high price in Manhattan is often attributed to things like size, neighborhood, and floor level,
but those variables can also inform whether a property is a good long-term investment or just a
trend. Careful planning and research goes a long way in the search for a Manhattan residential
property of lasting value. To that effort, here is a list of tips to follow when searching for quality
investments in Manhattan Real Estate’s best real estate.
Know What You’re Looking For
Take time to educate yourself and know what you’re interested in. Each Manhattan neighborhood
has its own benefits and knowing what matters most to you is important. Are you
looking for the safest neighborhood? The neighborhood that gives you the most square-footage
to your dollar? Do you really know which neighborhood is poised for property appreciation? Do you know the difference between a Condo vs Coop? Don’t underestimate the small details. Even the floor level of an apartment can impact the cost and how the property’s value grows. Decide whether this is of importance to you.
Know the True Price
Our firm, Manhattan Miami, always takes the time to educate our foreign buyer clients about
local and national real estate practices. there are specifics to keep in mind when buying property
in the US. When preparing for a purchase you have a budget in mind, but there are costs that
occur outside the offer our asking price. You want to ensure that you aren’t purchasing an
apartment or condo at the maximum of your budget because this to could easily lead to taxes
and fees preventing the transaction. Real Estate Tax rules like FIRPTA and the Estate Tax should be well understood by foreign buyers before they move forward with a purchase.
Know a Savvy Manhattan Real Estate Broker
There are many unknowns associated with buying property, which is why we consider it so essential to support foreign buyers. These individuals are likely to feel even more overwhelmed by the search for a property and the details of the purchase. Partnering with a broker who has a
client-first attitude will help a buyer find the property that is right for them in Manhattan.
The best way to ensure you have made a quality investment is to put money into the important
and necessary process of finding the investment, not just the final purchase. Here at Manhattan
Miami we specialize in helping foreign and high-value buyers make sound investments in the
Manhattan area.
