Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Starin Central real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year over year, Starin Central has seen typical home values fall about 14.5 percent, echoing a similar 14.3 percent decline across Buffalo overall. Despite that annual drop, values in the neighborhood jumped 15.0 percent just since last month to about $310,000. Compared with the citywide typical value of roughly $180,000, Starin Central is still one of the higher-priced parts of Buffalo.
Looking at March 2026, list prices and speed are both signaling strong demand. The median list price climbed 13.4 percent month over month to about $300,400, while the median time on the market dropped sharply to just 20 days, down nearly 75 percent from the prior month and 42 percent from a year earlier.
Activity has picked up on the supply side, with inventory up 57.1 percent month over month to 11 homes and new listings up 27.3 percent year over year to 14. Even with more options, pending sales have fallen about 35.7 percent over the past year, yet roughly 43 percent of recent sales still closed above list price and sale prices averaged about 2.9 percent over asking, supporting the current Seller's Market label. Looking ahead to April 2026, typical values are projected around $330,250 with a median list price near $318,150 and inventory edging up to 13 homes, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with a local agent who understands these conditions.
