šŸ  What This Means for Home Sellers

šŸ“ˆ It's Still a Seller’s Market


Low inventory and buyer urgency are keeping prices strong.


If your home is clean, well-presented, and priced correctly, you’re in a good position to sell quickly, and for more than list price.


šŸŽÆ Strategy Always Matters

Overpricing or skipping prep work will cost you.


Even in a strong market, today’s buyers are educated and competitive.


They’ll spot value, and walk away from listings that don’t match market conditions.


šŸ’” Tip from Roncroft: Our pricing and marketing plans are built on monthly data like this, so you’re never guessing.

Be ahead of the market for the best results.

🧠 What Buffalo Buyers Should Know

šŸƒā€ā™€ļø Speed and Strategy Win

With homes selling in 10 days, it’s critical to have your financing ready and your priorities clear.


A well-informed, strategic buyer can still succeed, even in a fast-paced market.


šŸ” Buffalo Remains Affordable (for Now)

With a median home price around $205,450 it's clear that our region remains more accessible than many other Northeast metros.


That makes this a powerful moment for first-time buyers to act, before rates or prices rise further.
