Buffalo NY Real Estate and WNY Homes for Sale

How to find your dream home

The Buffalo region is one of the fastest growing Real Estate markets in the United States today. Buffalo NY is the second largest city in New York and is situated in the Western New York region.

Real Estate is a tough business. It is about connecting with the consumer right at the moment that they need that connection. Here are some recent articles I have written that you may find interesting...

Financial Center

I have lost my normal writing pattern with Real Estate taking a considerable amount of extra time, and some wonderful distractions with summer and community activities. To get back into the groove, I tour the internet and other writers for ideas and inspiration. Sometimes I write posts on topics that I read, and sometimes it is nice to just share what I have read.

Sell my WNY Home

Buy a WNY Home

You may be relocating to the area from another part of the country, others may be investors looking for just the right investment property and there are buyers just entering the Real Estate market by purchasing their first home or those buyers moving up. If any of this describes you, there is information here for you. You have questions regarding what is happening in the Buffalo Real Estate Market and may need guidance.

Why Call WNY Home

This Saturday, August 9th there is a really cool Scavenger Hunt in the city of Buffalo. Think you know Buffalo? Think that you could win? Then this is something you have to check out! Wear your walking shoes, you can use public transportation and you can do this on the cheap! How cool is that? Spending the day in Buffalo competing in a scavenger hunt and then having a party afterwards!

Home Staging

As a homeowner you may not be thinking of selling your home at this time. But you might in the future. And at that time it might not be so pretty or it could even be more spectacular than it is now. Try and take photographs of the exterior of your home in the variety of seasons so when the time does come you have a great photograph for your Realtor to use.

For Sale By Owner

This is a new listing perhaps they will be doing more in the coming weeks. I didn't see it in today's newspaper and cannot find anything on this Wheatfield home for sale on the Internet. So it appears that they are depending on the sign out front of their home as their sole source of advertising of this home.

Landlord & Tenant

Unfortunately, not all tenants will be good tenants in WNY. Finding good tenants is always an issue for Western New York Landlords. All too often WNY landlords can be too eager to fill their homes. It is important that you do a little investigation on your potential tenants. Whether you are managing your property yourself, or using a property manager in New York, careful screening will save you a lot of money and stress.

Real Estate Investors

As of today, the sub prime market has just about dried up. In the conventional world, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have increased the down payment requirements to a minimum of 20%. Due to the foreclosure issues that have hit the real-estate market, the mortgage insurance companies have taken a major financial hit. Due to their financial losses they are unwilling to provide insurances coverage and expose themselves to additional risk.
