Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lower West Side real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Lower West Side is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge at 20 indicating clear seller leverage. Limited supply and relatively strong pricing power help create this seller’s market dynamic.
Home values in Lower West Side are higher than in Buffalo overall, with a typical home value of $345,000 compared with $200,000 citywide. Even with that premium, values have eased, falling about 5.87% year over year and 4.17% month over month, and the projected typical value for March 2026 is $337,500.
Conditions on the listing side help explain the seller-leaning environment, as only 6 homes are on the market and just 5 new listings came up recently, even after a 50% monthly jump in inventory. Homes are taking longer to sell at 33.5 days on market, yet about two-thirds of recent sales closed above asking with an average sale-to-list ratio of roughly 1.02, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands how to navigate these trends.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
