Mr. WEO Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I wonder what the average income of Orchard Park would be if you excluded all the Bill's players. I'm sure still very high compared to the surrounding area, but wouldn't be surprised if it dropped $30 to $40k. Â I suppose if you're looking in the area and decide that Mario's house at $3.X mil is too steep could always "settle" for this one! Â 30,000 people with an average income of 150k is going to drop to 30-40k if you take out a few dozen (if that) millionaires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpmenow Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yikes! Nearly $24,000 in taxes per year. He could afford it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Looks like an above average/good home but nothing spectacular. 1.1m is kinda high imo Edited January 30, 2017 by bobobonators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Mario's house was way nicer. That place has my dream library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yours truly did the wine cellar. Â is Rex just as fun as he portrays? "Exclusive neighborhood" strikes me as wording that may violate fair housing guidelines/laws. Â Exclusive means rich as fudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Once you get above $500,000 for a house in WNY there is a serious point of diminishing returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I wonder if Rex ownership constitutes a stigma that has to be disclosed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullim4 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 At this point, why doesn't the team just buy a house and rent it out to the coach? They're never here more than 2 or 3 years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinii Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Once you get above $500,000 for a house in WNY there is a serious point of diminishing returns. 500k for a house these days is nothing in many places. That is like a starter home now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tcali Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited)  30,000 people with an average income of 150k is going to drop to 30-40k if you take out a few dozen (if that) millionaires? 30k people =7k families 7k families at 150k/yr= 1,050,000,000 or slightly over a billion dollars  lets say the total income for the Bills families living in OP = 100 million...that raises the total income 10% -so figure a 10% drop in total income if the Bills packed up and left OP.. -the 150k would drop to about 135k--mas o menos  -of course i could be wrong on the amt of bills living in OP and their total income there. -if it is just 50 mil then the average income in OP would drop to maybe 142K Edited January 31, 2017 by Tcali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Yep, and it's exactly one of the reasons some people are starting to rediscover WNY. And evident of the reality that so many have chosen to forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 500k for a house these days is nothing in many places. That is like a starter home now. 500k in the Bay area would get you a shoebox near the highway in gangbanger territory. If I could transplant my job to WNY, I'd happily move back. I monitor the news and seems like things are turning around back there. Â I think Rex's house was in Architectural Digest, I bet they put some good money into it. I agree with a previous poster- 500k would get you all the house you need in WNY. It would be better to buy a second property in FL or a ski cabin/condo rather than go higher.

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 And evident of the reality that so many have chosen to forget it. Yes but it's a city where the worst times are potentially behind it. I know a lot of former Buffalonians love to tell themselves the narrative that the area is dead, but it isn't true. If you want to say you left for better taxes,weather, etc that is fine. However, it's slowly becoming an wives tale that the economic grass is greener on the other side. People with skills and education can succeed in most fields in WNY just as much as they can elsewhere. People without either will struggle just as much elsewhere as they would in WNY. The golden age of finding greener pastures is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turn has been made and Buffalo is in the upswing of it's next evolute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turn has been made and Buffalo is in the upswing of it's next evolute I agree, I think the city hit rock bottom in the early to mid eighties and was kind of stuck in that rut and stagnation through most of the nineties. Other cities boomed and skylines exploded upwards while Buffalo seemed to tear down more than it built. There is a lot of private and public investment going on now, people putting their own money into infrastructure and projects and getting returns. it just feels like momentum has turned and is sustainable. Even manufacturing is returning with Solar City/Tesla. It's not all great- the east side is not exactly along on the reinasance ride. Taxes are still prohibitive for business. Compared to many other areas, buffalo is doing well. Just need the Bills to catch up now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
