Housing swap? We are former NYCers who miss the city and want to spend ~ a year living there. You are curious and want to see if the suburbs are right for your family and want a pilot year. We offer a small house in CT ( Greenwich, 3 bed, 2 bath, garden, great schools, Metro North trains). We are interested in similar size apt in Manhattan, great public schools, & short distance from Grand Central. Timeline- Summer 2026 to Summer 2027. Crazy idea, but might just work with the right family.

Apps like this exist. But yeah, the best option is to rent your house and rent a new one in NY because the pricing dynamics doesn’t match most of the times. And the apps demand a fees which is an overhead

Nice sentiment and idea, but you’re not realizing what you’re asking..A 3 Bedroom 2 bath apartment in Manhattan these days is 15k+ a month, someone who can afford that probably already has a house in CT or somewhere else. They can rent a house like yours in CT for much less than what they pay for 3B here.

You really need to do thorough research on NYC schools. To get a comparable education to CT public schools, you’d likely need to send them to a private one in nyc. The good public ones are competitive, not easy to get in. There are also free schools for gifted and talented, you need to read blogs to understand how they work.

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated.

I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
