Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Lower West Side currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market despite relatively high inventory. Months of supply sit at 8.9 in this rolling three-month view, nearly double Buffalo overall at 4.5 months, yet limited sales and quick buyer action keep leverage from shifting fully to buyers.
Prices have moved up notably, with the typical home value around $404,805, up about 16 percent from a year ago. At the same time, the median list price has surged more than 80 percent year over year, signaling that sellers are testing higher price points and buyers are still stepping up for the right homes.
On the activity side, homes are spending a median of just 10 days on the market, a touch faster than a year ago, while nearly 60 percent of sales are closing above list price. New listings and pending sales are both up strongly from last year in this rolling three-month window, even though the number of homes sold has dipped, reflecting fewer but more competitive closings. Whether you are a buyer navigating these rising prices and fast timelines, or a seller aiming to capitalize on strong offer conditions, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who knows how to handle this market.
