[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rent is ridiculous. Amenities and city living aside, buying the house makes more sense. Interest rates are high but because of that prices should be low and you can always refi later. $6k a month is such a waste for “amenities” when you could have a house. The condo idea is dumb.[/quote]

OP here. The house isn’t in play. Neither of us want to move to the suburbs right now. It was either keep renting this apartment or buy a condo. When broken down, the condo would be about the same monthly. We will likely lose money if we buy a condo and resell 2-3 years later.

The amenities work for us. I’m 0.5 mile from my job and he is 1 mile away. I mostly WFH and having a nanny willing to work in a 2b condo with a WFH parent is challenging. At least I can go to one of the business suites and work. The nanny can use the huge playroom when they need a break from the apartment and it’s too cold outside. The building has a huge gym that is always clean and I love the convenience of working out and going right upstairs. With crime rates, it gives me comfort knowing I live in a high rise with a doorman and you can’t get access beyond the lobby unless you live there. My husband sometimes travels for work and I like knowing I’m safe. [/quote]
You have an excuse for everything. No wonder your husband is resentful, sounds like you railroaded him into the decision.[/quote]

OP here. No. He chose this building in the first place when we moved here. He liked that I was safe, no commute, ( we don’t own a car), and a very huge and nice gym.

If it were 1-2 years later, and it was apartment vs house, we would find a house, but it’s not. It doesn’t make sense to buy a condo with a farther commute and none of the current amenities, for the same price we pay renting. Having to resell a condo in 2-3 years when we have no idea where the economy will be is not a good idea. We have looked and many of the condos being sold in even nice areas are sitting on the market for months. I don’t see a point in moving and owning something we might be stuck with or lose money on.

Yep. An excuse for everything. [/quote]
