BUFFALO HEIGHTS right now

🟡 Balanced market. 3.4 months of supply and 20% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of Stellar MLS records, as of August 2, 2026. Confidence: High (5 active and pending listings, 13 closed sales in 12 months).

🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($749K) is down 37.5% from the prior 12 months ($1.20M). With about a dozen sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Stellar MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending August 2. Confidence: Medium (13 and 9 sales in the two windows).

Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending August 2 of each year, from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($749K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($1.20M) IS the -37.5% one-year change.

Windows contain 0 to 20 sales each (13 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Based on Stellar MLS data distributed by MLS GRID for the period 2005 through 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

If we were buying in BUFFALO HEIGHTS today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in BUFFALO HEIGHTS.

A closer look at the BUFFALO HEIGHTS market

At a median of $399 per square foot, BUFFALO HEIGHTS prices sit in a fairly defined band, so condition and updates — more than the list price — tend to separate one home from the next.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in BUFFALO HEIGHTS. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
