BoogieDowner Real Estate: Two Bedroom Co-op in Riverdale only $165,000

(Living room with window overlooking park)

Recent pressures from the economy and bank lending anomalies have driven Bronx real estate and co-op prices down, creating very reasonable purchasing opportunities. Even “Blue Chip” Bronx communities like Riverdale have been affected. With deflated prices, consumer confidence and interest rates at record low levels, the next few months should be turbulent, but busy. A recent co-op listing of mine at 6601 Broadway is a prime example. Past comparables for similar units sold for well above $200,000 at the height of the market. The very firm asking price of $165,000 makes for a GREAT purchase.

Here is the skinny on the co-op and the OPEN HOUSE I am having for the unit this Saturday.
