Does that Hoboken Condo Come With Parking?
Categories: Hoboken Condos
Doncha’ love when the listing says parking for “1 car–garage” is included, and then in the remarks they clarify that “There is a rental garage 2 blocks away for additional monthly fee”.
Then there is the blithe and brazen way in which so many Hoboken real estate agents inflate the bedroom count when they list properties. A bedroom must have a window and a closet and a door. And should be big enough for a bed. Granted, the pathetically inadequate and outdated forms we are required by our MLS to use to enter the listing data does not have a “den” category but the agent can simply disclose it in the remarks – there is a difference between a 2nd bedroom and a den.
How about re-listing the property as a new listing at a lower price to reset the “days on market” clock. That’s a new one that has become popular.
Or using photos of a property that were taken years ago – before the messy tenants moved in and trashed the place.
My personal favorite remains the agent who lists a 4th floor walk-up as being on “floor 3”. When questioned about it, his answer is always “there are 3 flights of stairs”.
Cut the crap, people…and have a Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
Hi Lori, does a bedroom have to have an exterior facing window to be considered a bedroom? If a room has a Folsom window (picture window cut out in interior wall) can that be legally classified as a 2 bedroom or just a 1 bedroom plus den?
Thanks for any info.
I meant Transom window, not Folsom window.
Lindsay, it depends on the jurisdiction. In Hoboken, a bedroom must have a window. Whether an interior window “counts” is questionable and something you might ask the building department at City Hall.
For the record–a transom window is typically a hinged window located immediately above a door. Historically, transom windows were used to facilitate air-flow between rooms when occupants wanted to keep the door closed.
An exterior window provides direct natural light and–if it is operable–is a source of fresh air. A transom window provides only indirect light and no fresh air to a window-less room.
