Hey gents, I’ve been looking a lot, though still just casually, and i am curous if things are going above asking price in WNY right now or no? I keep seeing very respectable, though smaller or rural, properties for pennies compared to what they would be over here. literally half to 1/3 the price of what we would see around me. Just some samples from today.

A lot of this depends on the areas you are looking in. More in demand areas like Amherst/Williamsville are going to have a much higher chance of over asking selling prices. My co-worker has been looking in Williamsville for a while now. He had an offer in $50k over a couple weeks back and it went for $90k over. That’s not the case every time, lots of little factors play into that as well. I think those homes in the $250k-$350k are the sweet spot for aggressive over bidding. Over $350k the pool of prospective buyers shrinks and there’s not as much competition by comparison, but still expect multiple offers on anything you look at. ---

1st one is nice, price makes sense based on how far away it is from everything. Not much work or money around there. 2nd one is in the hood. You’d be better off buying something a couple blocks away for \<100k and hoping the neighborhood turns. 3rd one I wouldnt touch because it looks like a bunch of bad additions. In general “good” houses around here are selling in days for well over the asking. Anything you find that has been on the market for any period of time is on the market for a reason. ---

All these people shooting over asking must have cash piles. Banks will approve of what they say it’s worth. Buddy bid over asking and bank said he would have to come up with the difference because the house wasn’t worth the price. ---

10 years ago - $100/sq ft was tops. Now every house is about $150/ft and the desirable areas and renovated houses are doing $200-$225/sq ft. It’s never going to change, the only thing that will change is the length of time a house will spend on the market. ---
