So I finally did it guys, closed on a 1 bed 1 bath in Manhattan yesterday for just over 700k. It's only 600 square feet but honestly I'm just happy to have something that's mine in this crazy market. Been saving for like 6 years and putting every penny toward this moment. The whole process was absolutely insane - bidding wars, inspections falling through, mortgage drama, you name it. My realtor kept telling me I was nuts for even trying in this price range but somehow we made it work. Yeah it's tiny and yeah I'm basically house poor now but walking into MY apartment with MY keys feels pretty incredible. Anyone else go through this rollercoaster recently?? Can share notes!
