You have to be willing to go above asking price to compete with anybody. Hence, my wife and I shall be in an apartment another year... Yeah man- it is a joke and the taxes are outrageous! Another year in an apartment not paying BVille taxes is worth it. Bank it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Just now, BuffaloWeather said: It's because interest rates are so low. If interest rates were higher we would not be seeing this. It makes the monthly payment much lower and more affordable thus increasing the prices of the homes as renting is now more expensive then buying is. The wife and I have gone back and forth on that one. With the high property taxes in New York...especially around CNY, it comes out to about the same. So, we will be patient and wait another year or two. We'd rather save up the money and make a larger down payment than have a large mortgage with interest, plus taxes, plus utilities, etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 If you out to towns with 2k people in them around here the prices get much lower. But city/suburbs you're going to pay quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If renting/buying are equal in price then I'd favor in the buying side. I have 50k in equity on my home and I just bought last year. But if you factor in upkeep/maintenance its tough. I enjoyed renting as I didn't have to worry about snowblowing/mowing lawn/etc...Did it for 9 years. Allowed us to travel all over with no restrictions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a beautiful apartment here that we really like. It's a little bit higher in price, but we are blessed to have good neighbors and the location is great. The taxes here are just ridiculous...it would be 500 to 800 a month just in taxes...add several hundred for utilities...and then extras/maintenance...etc...apartment was a good choice for the time being. We're just a bit bummed because we moved in on March 1st last year and then Covid hit...so we haven't had many opportunities to share our place with family and friends.

CNY_WX Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 My niece is a real estate agent in this area and she’s been selling houses like crazy over the last year. Most of the houses in my development used to be in the $200-250K range but in the last year 2 houses sold for around $300k so I’m not sure of my house’s value. Tell me about property taxes around here. I just paid my county/town taxes for $3200 and I’ll have a similar school tax bill in September. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 We’re looking to upgrade soon if possible. Just time to get out of the city. Even prices here are through the roof. I bought my house for 90k in 2010 and could probably get 170k for it now. Downfalls would be the taxes out in the burbs. Go from paying $100 a month to $400-$500 in just taxes is a big jump added onto a higher base mortgage payment with the upgrade. Housing market was always a value in WNY but I think it might be a bit over inflated right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
