High-Value Commercial Properties Change Hands
The week's real estate records were dominated by several substantial commercial property sales. These transactions indicate continued investment in Erie County's commercial sector, with properties being acquired by holding and management companies.
Hamburg Leads with $3.27 Million Sale
The most significant transaction of the week occurred in Hamburg. The property at 4091 Jeffrey Boulevard was sold by Shaker Realty Ltd to Hamburg Management Llc for a total of $3,270,000. This sale represents a major investment in the town's commercial real estate landscape.
Amherst Sees $2.4 Million Deal

Another notable commercial sale in Amherst involved the property at 2577 Millersport Highway, which sold for $910,000.
Understanding LLC Transactions
Many high-value commercial real estate deals involve Limited Liability Companies (LLCs). Using an LLC allows investors to purchase property while protecting their personal assets. These transactions often signify strategic investments by businesses or real estate holding groups rather than individual owner-occupiers.
Luxury Residential Market Flourishes in Suburbs
Beyond commercial deals, the high-end residential market showed considerable strength, especially in the affluent suburbs of Clarence and Amherst. These sales, often exceeding $800,000, highlight the strong demand for luxury homes in the region.
Clarence Homes Top $1.3 Million
Clarence was home to the week's most expensive residential sales. A property at 5276 Mallard Roost was sold by Mark B. Farber to Ambreen Shah Bukhari and Syed Waqas Bukhari for $1,370,000. Close behind, a home at 9737 Cobblestone Drive was sold by Tammy Hill-Lefebvre to Naiman and Cristin Fenech for $1,300,000.
Several other properties in Clarence also fetched high prices, including homes on Corinne Lane ($823,000), Bridlewood Drive South ($815,000), and Willow Run Court ($800,000), confirming the area's status as a prime location for luxury living.
Amherst's Upscale Neighborhoods Attract Buyers
Amherst also featured a number of significant residential transactions. A home at 94 Covent Garden Lane sold for $900,000, while properties on Pasha Court and Pinelake Court sold for $851,000 and $812,000, respectively. These sales underscore the continued appeal of Amherst's established and newer residential developments.

Beyond the Sale Price
Financial experts often remind new homeowners that the purchase price is just the beginning. Jessica Moorhouse, author and host of the More Money podcast, notes that costs such as property taxes, ongoing maintenance, and potential repairs are significant factors in the total cost of homeownership. These recurring expenses are an important consideration for buyers in any market.
The complete list of transactions reflects a diverse and active real estate market across Erie County, with strong performance in both the commercial and residential sectors. The data suggests confidence among both investors and individual homebuyers in the region's property market.
