Almost a home owner

just heard back from my Realtor today my offer got accepted on some land …

now i gotta deal with the builder and start that whole process of picking shit out etc… @ least that should be fun.

It’s amazing what you can buy in Buffalo.

I can’t even rent an apt without making 200K +

lol

I’m in the same boat, just not land…

Cool. Congrats. Where are you building?

:tup: where

:tup:

Building for your first home huh? Scary thought.

its not too bad, we are doing a modular home with a builder here. So its not a traditioanl stick build with overages etc. Everything is spelled out as far as cost goes in a planning stage.

Building in lancaster

How big is the garage going to be?

yeouch @ lancaster taxes… lol

only village more painful is snyder I believe

cheaper then depew

besides the taxes arent THAT bad… going to be like 3200ish with star…

garage is 22X24

Meh, I find that Taxes are much higher on comparable houses in West Seneca and Orchard park then they are in Lancaster.

needs more garage.

congrats…

how many sqft is the house going to be, 3k a year estimated in taxes is pretty cheap

my taxes are $5600 in east otto .ehhh… but good luck should be fun with a new house

Congrats im sure it feels great. So how long does it take them to build it? I hope to join the homeowners club here in a few months.

the house is going to be ~ 1300-1350 Sqft

at a value of 150k looking at the town of lancaster OARS page for comparable homes, and then using the tax rates for 07-08 i come out to about

3600 per year with STAR

really?? are you not in the village ? maybe that is the difference. Some of the stuff I looked at was like the 5-6k annual range which is just slightly less than snyder which was 6-7k

Congrats.

:jawdrop:

That makes sense, I would think you would be around 4K then take out 250 for the star rebate.

i am in the village, over on madison street behind the middle school

i dont know where you hit 5-6k unless your looking at 200k+
