Similar to the game hosted by Howie Mandel, buyers are given a choice when looking to purchase a place and decide whether or not an apartment is a deal. But unlike the game where the contestant is removing cases based on a process of elimination and taking a gamble on losing a large amount of money, buyers in real estate are well aware of every listing available to choose from and will carefully decide which home to pick based on the pros and cons.
An interesting article in NYMagazine showcases 3 great properties at a discounted price compared to similar listings in the area. But there's always a drawback on each apt, and this has hindered many buyers from ultimately choosing it. It's fair to say it depends on the person's preferences. One may choose heavy traffic and noise versus quiet streets if it meant getting a steal on the price of the property. Others may consider the view as a key factor in the decision making process, even if it meant missing out on a huge savings.
So take a look at the places listed and give us your thoughts based on the price and drawback. Is it a deal or no deal?
