14220 Market Snapshot: September 10-16, 2025

Here’s the latest on real estate activity in the 14220 zip code for last week, based on fresh data:

• Active Listings: 48 properties (25 single-family homes, 23 multi-family units)

• Under Contract (including Continue to Show): 34 properties (27 single-family, 7 multi-family)

• Pending Sales: 38 properties (22 single-family, 16 multi-family)

• Closed Sales: 2 properties (both single-family, median sale price $208,750)

Check out this visual breakdown of the market:

Observations: The chart shows a market tilting toward more supply, with 48 active listings—a mix of single-family homes and multi-family units—indicating fewer buyers are out there as the fall season kicks in. Despite the seasonal slowdown, 72 properties are either under contract or pending, showing that demand remains solid, especially for multi-family properties, which make up a significant portion of the market. Only 2 closings last week reflect the slower pace of finalizing deals this time of year. With more listings hitting the market, sellers need to stand out, especially for multi-family properties, which are a cornerstone of South Buffalo’s investment appeal.

Interest Rates and Their Impact

Interest rates are playing a big role in our market, with an outsized impact on multi-family sales. As of September 17, 2025, the national average for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is 6.24%. This slight dip from recent highs offers some relief, but higher rates still hit multi-family investors harder, as financing costs can squeeze cash flow on rental properties. In the 14220 zip code, where median list prices hover around $189,900-$199,900, South Buffalo remains a value-driven market, attracting both families and investors. For sellers, pricing competitively is key to catching buyer attention in this environment. Our team at South Buffalo Realty Company can help you navigate these dynamics to maximize your sale.
