Hoboken Real Estate: Short Sales @ The Hudson Tea

It's clear no condo building in Hoboken is immune to short sales. The Hudson Tea building in Hoboken is seeing it's share. Attention buyers, how about a sprawling three bedroom three bath condo for sale around $800,000? This short sale listing is one of the few where the agent has had communication, or seems to have had communication, with the bank and has already been given a price opinion as to what number the bank is looking for to allow the short sale to go through and close. These type of short sales typically take less time in the pipe line then other one's where the bank won't start the process or hint at what they'll accept until there is a buyer contract on the property - which makes things much more difficult.

This unit is an R line, 4th floor with a galley kitchen that has black granite counters, stainless steel appliances and white kitchen cabinets. There are three spacious bedrooms and they have been upgraded with hardwood floors. If you have or are starting a family, and love this building but can't find a condo large enough for you, then you may want to seriously consider purchasing a short sale.

You will still need to fill out an offer to purchase, and submit a recent pre approval letter from your preferred lender. You'll also want to conduct a home inspection up front, if you desire. Your offer will look that much stronger to the bank if you do.

If you are not in a situation where you have to move quickly, then you have the time to wait for a response from the bank on whether or not your offer was accepted. When a listing agent says that the bank has approved a price or is looking for a certain price, then typically the bank will only agree to sell the property if the offer price is the suggested price or very very close to it.

Agents will show short sales that have these type of advertising remarks because they know that they and their buyers have a much higher chance of actually purchasing the property. Unfortunately too many agents that aren't equipped to handle short sales, list them, and in turn waste the time of many sellers, buyers and agents..

Hoboken | Hot Property: The Hudson Tea | Condo's |

The Hudson Tea Condominiums has held it's reign as one of Hoboken's hottest places to live. No doubt these unique homes have attracted accomplished single professionals, high profile families and even some politicians and celebrities including the likes of Governor Corzine, the late Arturo Gatti and Eli Manning.

This makes The Hudson Tea - LaVidaSquares- Hot Property choice.

The Hudson Tea was once home to the Lipton Tea Factory established in 1893, when at that time, tea leaves were only enjoyed by the rich as it was an expensive commodity, that is until Sir Thomas Lipton made it available at affordable prices and with a guarantee of quality. While the first Lipton Tea factory was actually once on the corner of 13th and Hudson - also known as the Tea Factory, not to be confused with Toll Brothers' Hudson Tea, it then moved its head quarters to where we know now to be as Harborside Lofts and The Hudson Tea buildings.

What makes the Hudson Tea so hot?

• For starters, it is a solid structure of pure concrete with thick walls and sub flooring.


• Next it boasts 13 foot ceilings with exposed beams


• Extra large windows that stand 10 feet tall


• An incredible water front location with easy access to the Ferry, buses, Lincoln Tunnel, highways and PATH
  
  The Hudson Tea is not your grandma's building - unless grandma has serious style. They are lofty and open and modern, and the New Harborside building is boutique but on a grand scale with attention to detail in their newly outfitted kitchens with dark cabinetry and white hot stone counters.

The Harborside has recently sold out through the developer directly however there are re sales available currently and with prices softening in the last year, owning a home in one of these fabulous buildings is more of a reality now for many.

Just today a true one bedroom , 835 sq feet just closed at $410,000. There are studios currently selling under $400,000 and there are spectacular residences available with NYC water views up to 1.5 million and a penthouse that is undergoing major renovations and upgrades to make a special home.

Running in Hoboken for a cause! Congrats to everyone

So yesterday, I'm trying to get to The Hudson Tea building, and realize there are several streets blocked off. At first I thought it was because of the new Uptown Hoboken Farmers market (yes it's true!), but after parking and walking to the building I saw a sea of runners! Hundreds! 

Long behold this is what I had heard some friends tell me about. As I was waiting to safely cross through the runners, mind you I had to deliver keys for an owners unit that is up for rent in the building, I see my friends!

Just wanted to write a little congratulations to Lisa Piccurio, and Amy Howard and Townsend Williams for running last night! I know they trained really hard and they completed the run!! 5K people! Woo Hoo!

Party With Purpose organizes this annual run and the money raised benefits children of Hoboken through the Jubilee Center and the Hoboken boys and girls club. Hope every year gets bigger. Good job guys!
