Withthe first ever Niagara Homecoming under our belts, I would like to take a few moments to thank Frank and Colleen for all their leadership and vision.  A thank you needs to also go out to all the organizers of the different days events.  As a group of volunteers who are trying to make a difference for our beloved city, we would love to hear from everyone who attended our functions.  What did you like?  Are there things you think we should include next year?  Please let us know by posting a comment here or by emailing us at niagararises@yahoo.com

A lot more people than you think are relocating to Buffalo and Niagara Falls, and for many varied reasons. Western New York takes a lot of jokes about the snow and a lot of negative press with it being one of the fastest dying cities. Yes people do leave Western New York, but people leave for many reasons. Remember negative press sells newspapers and magazines.

So it is really wonderful to see an incredible article this week in the New York Magazine, entitled Where the Urban Dream Life is Going Cheap by Adam Sternbergh. Adam asks a very interesting question What could possibly make someone want to leave New York and move to Buffalo?

Read More: Buffalo NY and the “Who knew” effect…

Talk to anyone who’s lived in the Western New York Region for any length of time, and you’ll likely hear some variation of the same response — “I wouldn’t live anywhere else but Western New York!” Today many of those that have moved away are looking to return back to Western New York. There is a four day gathering to Bring Back the Heard during the Buffalo Homecoming celebration.

Relocation can be one of the most stressful and exciting times in one’s life! Making the decision to relocate to Western New York is just the first step. You will now have to decide where in Western New York you want to call home. Come to our Real Estate Expo on Saturday, June 27, 2009 between 10am and 12pm to discover the many communities that make Western New York a special place. Perhaps even find a new home while you are here!

Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors will be hosting open houses on Saturday and Sunday between 1:00pm and 3:00pm.
