## Erie County context

Selling anywhere in Erie County runs through the same offices. New York is a judicial foreclosure state: the lender files in the Supreme Court of the county, part of the Eighth Judicial District, and the timeline runs long even when uncontested. Estate matters run through the Erie County Surrogate's Court, and the Erie County Clerk records deeds and liens. Inside Buffalo, the city's annual in rem foreclosure auction takes parcels that are behind on taxes, sewer, and user fees, which makes delinquent-balance files a recurring county pattern. InTym Properties pulls the county records on every house before we write the offer.

The cost side is simpler here than downstate. New York State charges a transfer tax of $2 per $500 of consideration, and neither Buffalo nor Erie County adds a local transfer tax; the mansion tax only applies at $1 million or more, rare at Erie County price points. Attorney representation is customary on both sides of a New York closing, and much of Buffalo's housing stock predates 1920, so repair pricing drives the math. The city page below carries its own median price, days on market, and trend.

The county records double as a legitimacy check for any company that offers to buy your house. The entity name on its contract should exist on the New York Department of State's Division of Corporations registry, deeds and liens it records appear in the Erie County Clerk's records, and a licensed New York title company can confirm whether it actually closes files. The clause to look for in any offer is 'and/or assigns': it means the signer plans to sell your contract to someone else rather than buy your house.

### How does foreclosure work in Erie County?

New York foreclosure is judicial through the Supreme Court, which takes time. Separately, the City of Buffalo runs an annual in rem auction for delinquent taxes and city fees. You can sell any time before either sale; the proceeds pay off the lender or the city and stop the process.

### What does it cost to sell a house in Erie County?

New York State charges $2 per $500 of consideration in transfer tax and neither Buffalo nor Erie County adds a local transfer tax. Your written offer shows every cost line by line, including which of those InTym Properties covers, before you sign.

### My property is in an estate in Erie County. Can I still get an offer?

Yes. InTym Properties makes a written offer now and closes when the Erie County Surrogate's Court issues letters. Your attorney sets the real timeline.

### How fast can you close in Erie County?

As soon as 7 days if title is clear, longer if you need it. Attorneys are customary on both sides in New York; the InTym Properties version is one walkthrough, one written offer, one date you pick.
