7 Things You NEED To Know Before Moving To Buffalo In 2025

Thinking about moving to Buffalo, NY or just curious about how the city is changing in 2025 and beyond? A lot has shifted — some for the better, some... not so much.

In this video, we’re diving into what it’s really like to live in Buffalo now. From rising home prices and rental rates to surprising changes in where people are choosing to live — this is a must-watch if you're thinking about where to live in Buffalo NY.

✅ Home prices have jumped from $167K to over $260K in just 5 years
✅ Rent has spiked—from $850 to $1300+ for a 2-bedroom
✅ Suburbs like Clarence, Orchard Park, and Amherst are now more expensive than the city itself
✅ People are moving back to the city due to taxes, restrictions, and shifting culture
✅ The Buffalo winter isn't what it used to be – is it really that bad?
✅ Diversity is growing, but housing affordability is pushing some longtime residents out
✅ The party scene is still limited, but events at Canalside, Outer Harbor & comedy clubs are growing
✅ We’re now a national topic—from Zillow rankings to the Buffalo Bills

We even got a new mayor after 16 years of the same leadership. I'm not political, but it’s worth keeping an eye on how this new era might reshape the city.
