Why Is This Stunning Former Church Being Sold For So Little In Buffalo, NY?

We hear about real estate and how expensive it is these days, so why in the world was this stunning church that was recently featured in a Hollywood movie being offered for so little?

It’s expensive to buy property anywhere these days

People who are on the lookout for homes in Western New York know that it’s not easy to buy one. Our homes normally sell for quite a bit below the national average. According to Zillow, the average price of a single-family home in Western New York is around $232,000. In areas like Clarence you’ll see many listings for over $500,000. That’s what makes this listing seem so baffling.

This former church was on the market for $350,000

While scrolling through social media, I saw a post that said we should all move to Buffalo and they had attached this tweet.

Here’s a 1911 Neo-classical and greek revival former church now manuscript library with over 30k sq ft of space in Buffalo NY and it is currently listed for only $350,000? What the hell??? pic.twitter.com/EqlFydhhjN
