Possible historic depth 7' maybe? You game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It blows me away that you guys don't make that drive a few times a year. Yeah I probably should. Thing is, we see so much snow in our areas, seems meh to drive just to experience yet more snow, even if it is insane rates. I've drove thru that to work up just north of Oswego for a decade so I've had my share of experiencing the real deal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one east of the Rockies gets rates like the tug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one east of the Rockies gets rates like the tug. We don't usually in northern Clay, and when we do it's for a few hours at best. But up towards Oswego, Mexico, Parish and sometimes Fulton, they do. Believe me I've lived it and Wolfie can attest. That said, our snow depth doesn't match what goes on up there. I may drive up there this weekend to eyeball it, maybe do some snowshoeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I could maybe do this one. I'd offer $55K and then GTFO my property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Pulaski is about 25 miles from Fulton but takes 35-40 min due to backroads.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Fulton is where civilization meets snow, 10k people in a 4sq mile city that avgs 175” a yr, not many can claim they see that with less then 400 feet elevation.. Rates are not a problem, it’s sustaining them..First year I was here I took a 3 hr nap and awoke to a foot of snow lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Hamburg that goes for 200K+ with 5K taxes+ I didn't realize Buffalo is going through a housing uptick as well. Im in the midst of looking at homes in the GTA and that house in the photo from fulton is a dream house. Would easily sell around 750K USD in the immediate GTA. Where im looking (about 50 miles outside the city) is about 300-400K for a similar house. My commute will suck, but theres no chance I can buy in the city.

Both around 8-10k people and average 175-200" a year. But they have a little bit of elevation on their side, especially Boston. Boston is 30 minute to downtown Buffalo, Springville about 40 mins. Takes me 15 mins to get to downtown Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bumble Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 So after reading thru 2 pages of Oswego County real estate trends, I’m guessing the snow starting tomorrow looks blah... Skiing tonight at KB was fantastic. Lake Erie managed to produce steady snow the entire time I was there from 4-10pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it really is insane, we really want to stay in Hamburg but I think the boom is everywhere in Buffalo. My dad has a few properties, one in the city and one in Amherst and both have gone up in value quite a bit. With record low interest rates and a record low unemployment level, it is bound to happen. People are actually moving back to Buffalo as well, especially the city. The medical and tech field have really taken off here in recent years and canalside has been completely transformed. The lakefront downtown view is finally being utilized. Something Toronto has taken advantage of for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orographic lift is a thing of beauty for them. Was thinking of going to holiday sat night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems Buffalos suburbs are more south/east and not really north orientated. Buffalo is my 2nd favourite city after Toronto, I try to make it down there for Bills/Sabres games whenever I can.

The most expensive houses are still north of the city in Amherst/Clarence/Williamsville. Niagara Falls/Lewiston are too far north for me. Not much out there. Orchard Park/Hamburg are getting pricey though. West Seneca/Lancaster/Depew is a good middle ground location and we are thinking of expanding our search there.

I think if ur a snow freak, that area N of Buffalo city is tough to get any snow into, at least lake effect. The WNY people can probably vouch for that though. Of course there's more to living somewhere than just snow but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNash Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 1 hour ago, Syrmax said: Probably true. Interest rates have been pinned to the floor at historic lows by the Fed since the 2008 disaster and supposedly they want to unwind $4.5T of QE...that plus inflation perking up...rates prob going higher Undoing QE would be deflationary, and would offset inflation pressure from wage gains. But yeah, interest rates are going up. That said, in lots of places without a booming local economy, housing prices may drop slightly to counter higher interest rates. It’ll be a while before housing prices level out in the Buffalo metro. Absent a big recession, maybe 2020/21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North of a line from Lackawanna through Lancaster, you’re usually gonna get no more than 50% of the snow of points further south, and very few LES monsters. But we still see more snow than basically any place outside snowbelts and areas of orographic lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey even in my expensive Williamsville area my house value has skyrocketed...my neighborhood has a lot to do with that but my value has increased by about 25k since we moved on almost 2 years ago. WNY is where it's at for housing that will appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fed selling Treasuries off their balance sheet to unwind QE would be a deflationary effect, if it actually ever happens..i dont know what i was thinking.
