Once the Buffalo Bills opted to release Von Miller on March 9th of this year, it became just a matter of time before he would put his house on the market.
The 5,021-square-foot house, built in 2000, has a dozen rooms, an outdoor pool, and a three-car garage while sitting on one and one-quarter acres of land.
Miller paid $1.15 million for the house in June 2022, just three months after he signed a massive six-year contract.
The asking price is now 69% more than Miller paid for the house, but its price reflects the rising values of suburban homes in the region, particularly in Orchard Park.
Agent Alina Pietrowicz from Verax Real Estate LLC says she’s already handled a few showings for the house, which went on the market late last week.
The draw is the house and the location more so than Miller, says Daneen Vincent, a broker with Gurney Becker & Bourne who handles a lot of Orchard Park listings.
“What's nice about Woodstream is you're very centrally located between Orchard Park and East Aurora, which is sort of a sister city, sister town to Orchard Park. So, you have that great location there with beautiful properties and privacy,” Vincent said.
Vincent said the Woodstream Trail neighborhood is an attractive location for Buffalo Bills’ players and coaches, but also others.
“If you asked any of the players that have been on the team, what keeps them wanting to go to Orchard Park is the sense of community, sense of family, sense of everybody loving and caring about each other,” Vincent said.
Orchard Park is one of Erie County’s hottest residential real estate areas. Of the 18 homes in Erie County that have sold for more than $1 million this year, two are in Orchard Park.
According to Realtor.com data, as of this past February, the average house in Orchard Park sold for $478,117. Some 80% more than Erie County's average of $266,061.
Data shows the average upper-end house in Orchard Park goes under contract in less than 40 days.
