Anonymous 12:54 PM, that’s a bit flippant and I think you know it. There is a huge difference in both mortgage carrying costs and down payment on a $1.3 million house versus a $2 million house. Assuming 20% down, that’s $260,000 down vs. $400,000 down … a $140,000 difference (or $215,000 in required earnings before tax). Big difference. That said, do I think that 62 St. Felix Street and 239 St. James Place are overpriced? Damn straight. I think I’ll save up and buy Prospect Park. 🙂
There are people at all levels on Wall Street. MOST of them are not front office…they work in ops, IT, HR, etc.. And lets not forget the corporate retail banks who pay out bonuses but not as generously as their wall street counterparts. They are the ones lookign for your $1M house and once those checks get cut in end Jan-Feb, there will be a lot of money in the hand. Most of these people do not know their bonus yet and of the ones that do, few actually have the money yet.
Will they spend it on real estate is yet to be seen but anyone who uses the few thousand people at Goldman and Merill to judge the entire impact of the financial services bonus pool doesn’t understand the industry.
Good grief indeed Anon. 1:13. Other than that, I’ll bite my tongue 🙂
You’re right 1:13. You can invest all the money you want in a nice home, but it’s all for naught if your safety is in question. Peace of mind is undervalued.
A woman in my building is a clerk — yes clerk, not even a secretary — at Goldman. She makes $125K salary and will probably get at least a $50K bonus. These are the kinds of houses those Wall Streeters buy…
The place on Rutland Road looks nice, but it’s on an extremely dangerous block. Good grief.
But Anon. 12:54–a million here and a million there and pretty soon you’re talking about REAL money. (With apologies to the late Everett Mc Kinley Dirkson–Sorry–I couldn’t resist, but what does a middle-class slob like me know?) 🙂
well, i’d rather save up $2 million too…
