Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Empire currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market. Months of supply sit at 2.3 in the latest rolling three-month view, pointing to relatively limited inventory. Active listings have climbed about 51 percent year over year, giving buyers somewhat more choice even as conditions still favor sellers.
Over the most recent three months through September 2026, typical home values are down roughly 13 percent from a year earlier, even though the current typical home value is just under $391,000. At the same time, homes sold increased about 42 percent year over year, and new listings surged more than 200 percent, signaling much more movement in the market compared with last year.
Homes in Empire are taking longer to sell than they did a year ago, with median days on market up about 21 percent to 38 days, and the share selling above list price has eased compared with earlier this year. Even so, the average sale-to-list ratio is near 98 percent, suggesting sellers are still achieving prices close to asking while buyers gain a bit more negotiating room. Whether you are aiming to attract strong offers or hoping to find value as inventory expands, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who knows how to navigate these shifting conditions.

“I worked with Megan twice: first when I bought my home, and again six years later when I sold it. Both times she was outstanding. When I was buying, Megan asked a lot of thoughtful questions to understand what I actually needed and wanted, and she came with me to every showing. She paid attention to how I felt about each house we saw and based her recommendations on my reactions, which helped us zero in on the right place. She also suggested areas I hadn’t considered and was incredibly informative about the different builders and neighborhoods, which helped me feel confident in my decision. When a relocation meant I had to sell, I wasn’t going to be in the area to handle the details. Megan took care of everything for me, from start to finish. She arranged the inspection, the stager, and the cleaners, so I didn’t have to coordinate any of it from a distance. When an incident the day before closing required a repair, she handled that too. My house sold in just 6 days, and we received a little more than the asking price. I can’t recommend Megan highly enough. If you want a realtor who is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly looks out for you, she’s the one to call.”

“Lori Benedict was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process of selling our home. From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to making sure we understood every step along the way. She took the time to explain everything in detail, answer all of our questions, and make sure we felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. What really sets Lori apart is how far above and beyond she goes for her clients. She was incredibly patient, always available, and willing to meet us wherever we needed her to be. No matter what came up, she made us feel like a priority and was always willing to go the extra mile to help us navigate the process. Selling a home can be stressful, but Lori made the entire experience so much easier. Her professionalism, communication, patience, and genuine dedication exceeded our expectations in every way. We cannot recommend Lori Benedict highly enough. If you are looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients and will go above and beyond every step of the way, Lori is the one you want in your corner.”

“I reached out to Adrian, after my current agent wasn't responding, and we set up a time to meet. He came prepared with local knowledge and a presentation to of what to expect. His price he wanted to go with was lower than mine, but I trusted his process. We ended up with multiple offers, higher than I initially expected. He made it an easy process, and the biggest thing for me was communication. He was updating me thru text all the way thru and was always responsive. Highly recommend!”

“Working with Genine was truly one of the best decisions we made during our home-buying journey. Buying a home can be overwhelming, especially with all of the moving parts, deadlines, and unexpected challenges that come up along the way. From the very beginning, Genine was knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and incredibly supportive. What stood out the most to me was how much she genuinely cared. She took the time to answer every question we had, explain things thoroughly, and advocate for our family throughout the entire process. There were moments when I felt stressed or uncertain, and she consistently provided reassurance, guidance, and solutions. I never once felt like “just another client.” Because of Genine, we were able to navigate the purchase of our new home with confidence. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a realtor who is not only exceptional at what she does but also truly invested in her clients, I cannot recommend Genine highly enough. We are so grateful for everything she did for our family.”

“Working with John, Matt, and Andrew made the first home buying experience feel as easy as 1-2-3. From the very beginning of searching for the perfect home all the way to finalizing the paperwork, they treated the entire process like it was their own family buying a home. Their communication, patience, professionalism, and dedication gave so much peace throughout every step. As first-time buyers, there were a lot of questions, but they always made sure everything felt informed, comfortable, and confident in every decision made. I’ve known them since high school, and that’s how long I’ve trusted them. What started as friendships became family, and that trust only grew stronger throughout this entire process. John, Matt, and Andrew are truly the dream team, and there couldn’t have been a better group of people to guide such an important milestone. Highly recommended to anyone looking to buy their first home — or any home. Thank you guys for making this dream a reality!”

His deep knowledge of the market and willingness to answer every question gave us a lot of confidence throughout the process. Ramen was honest, trustworthy, and provided helpful, straightforward feedback whenever we needed it. He was extremely flexible with our schedule, always punctual, and incredibly patient over the 8 months we worked together. He consistently sent us updates on new listings and guided us through every step, including closing, making sure we always knew what to expect.

“Kierston is a first-class realtor. Due to a serious illness in our immediate family and having moved out of the area, we were ready to sell our home as-is. But Kierston recommended a few modifications and outlined a feasible plan to present our home at its best. She even sought out reputable contractors, scheduled the services, and took care of absolutely everything so we could focus on our family. She communicated with both my husband and me throughout the entire process and facilitated the sale more quickly than I thought possible, ensuring we received top-dollar for our home. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a realtor.”

“We are so grateful to have had Amy Thomas as our realtor along with Alex Pallios our loan officer. Amy from the beginning was very friendly, patient, and compassionate. She worked extremely hard to get us that dream home that we have always wanted. She fought tooth and nail to counter our offers & she won!! We were so grateful for an awesome experience throughout this whole home experience process. This was a great experience and we will be sure to refer to our friends and family. They truly made the process go smooth and helped us move out in just a little over 30 days!”

“Travis went above and beyond with helping me find my home. He was so helpful and patience with me . Never felt pressured to buy a home. He guided me and helped me to look for a nice area, specially because I'm not familiar with Manteca neighborhoods. I'm so glad I found him and also Miss Patino did an amazing job too.”
