Press Pass: Buffalo housing market remains hot

Bidding wars have become common for real estate purchases in the city of Buffalo over recent months. While the demand is obvious, the rising costs are startling. On WBFO's Press Pass, Jim Fink of Business First cites a recent example: in the month of December, the new homes in North Buffalo's Colvin Estates sold at an average cost of $395,000. 

Monday - Friday, 6 a.m. - 10 a.m.
