I've lived in the New York area my entire life (60 years), and 2 years ago I bought a coop in an neighborhhod in Manhattan that I previously didn't even know existed. Every time I visit Sosua I learn more about living there. I almost bought one of the new condos at La Puntilla, but decided not to because I would not be using it enough and I thought it was over priced. Now - a few months later - it seems like it was a bargain.
The bottom line is that if your are buying a home, the price is not the most important consideration. And unless you do something stupid, the value will appreciate. I think that the more time you take to learn and investigate, the happier you will be. - D
