Here is a heads up on a previously featured good deal. Now a fantastic deal, and reduced an additional $25K with a new price today of $199K!

An almost 1500 sq.ft., 2 BR/2 BA unit with underground heated parking, balcony, gas fireplace, whirlpool bath, kitchen with Euro-cabinetry, and in-unit laundry, is in a pet friendly building in one of the more prestigious buildings along Prospect Ave. It offers lake and marina views from the balcony and full views from the lakeside terrace plus concierge services and well-equipped workout facilities.

When we find a good deal on a condo we will highlight it here. This will be a unit, sometimes more than one, that we consider to offer special value based on a price change, added amenities, or anything else that makes the unit stand out from the rest.

There is some uncertainty about the market but there are also incentives for buying now. Interest rates are still at historic lows.
There is a good initial selection of units across all price ranges, plus motivated sellers.
The $8,000 first time buyer tax credit can now also be used as part of a down payment. To qualify for the tax credit, closing must occur before Dec.1 of this year. Plan ahead, keeping  in mind that a dedicated search for the most appropriate condo can take time and that financial institutions take months to finalize some deals, after an accepted offer and before closing.

The good deal today is in the Third Ward in a great, cat friendly building right on the Milwaukee River that even includes boat slip and pier access. Just reduced to $194,900, this is a great price for the area, especially considering all the included amenities.

The top floor, loft style unit, featuring 18 foot beamed ceilings, is a
1 BR/1 BA with an open floor plan that includes in-unit laundry, balcony, cream city brick, gas fireplace,  granite breakfast bar, whirlpool in BA with slate tile detailing, plus a storage locker.

The inside parking space alone adds a $20,000 value in the Third Ward, with rights for potential roof-top expansion included as well.

Here are two condos downtown with just announced price reductions, both excellent value. Each is a 2 BR/2 BA unit with underground heated parking, balcony, and in-unit laundry, in a pet friendly building.

The first, at $200K, is spacious and in a newer construction, high quality building in a great location just south of Brady and near the lake.

The second, at $225K and even larger, is in one of the more prestigious buildings along Prospect. It offers lake and marina views from the balcony and full views from the lakeside terrace plus concierge services and well-equipped workout facilities.

There are some real advantages to widening a condo search beyond the downtown area, if that is an option for you, because typically your dollar buys more space and more amenities. If space is what you seek, consider this exceptional value, newly listed at $179,900 at Nicolet Parc in Glendale, about a fifteen minute (by car) commute from downtown and only minutes to the new Bayshore Town Center. A newer construction, NE corner, private front entry townhouse with 2 car attached garage offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths plus a full basement! The unit has vaulted ceilings, a skylight, all new carpeting throughout, a larger, semi-enclosed balcony, and is cat-friendly.

Here are two recommended 1 BR, 1 BA units both at Warehouse 525 in the Third Ward. Each unit is newly built out in a converted warehouse and features granite counter tops, stainless steel kitchen appliances, hardwood floors, and large windows, in-unit laundry and balcony.

The big plus is that one indoor, heated parking space is now included in the price of $199,900. This is a legitimate $25,000 value. The parking garage will be in an apartment building, now under construction, right next door, to the left side of this photo. There will be an enclosed, secure passageway linking the parking garage and the 525 building.

Call Paul for an private appointment to view the units and tour the building. 414-807-7599.
