Albany County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Albany County real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Albany County is currently tilted toward sellers, with a market gauge reading of 15 out of 100 indicating a strong seller’s market. Limited supply at about 2 months of inventory is helping keep conditions tight. With typical home values around $305,000, prices sit well below the New York state average of $600,100.
Several trends help explain why sellers hold more leverage right now. Inventory has fallen about 8.42% month over month to 272 homes and is down roughly 13.1% compared with last year, while new listings have dropped about 35.55% year over year to 165, further constraining choices for buyers. Even with this tight supply, typical home values have slipped 1.29% over the past year and about 3.17% month over month, and projections suggest values could edge down to about $300,000 next month.
Homes are taking longer to sell, spending a median of 37 days on the market, which is up 23.33% month over month and roughly 131.25% compared with last year. Yet demand is still evident, with about 45% of recent sales closing above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio essentially at 1.0, showing buyers are often paying close to asking. With 183 pending sales and a projected March median list price near $336,000, both buyers and sellers can benefit from expert guidance, and Agent Pronto can help them connect with a skilled local agent to navigate these conditions.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

Families appreciate a mix of public and private school options, including Albany City School District, plus quick access to campuses such as University at Albany.
Commuters benefit from strong regional connections via CDTA and the Albany-Rensselaer Amtrak Station. Dining stretches from casual neighborhood spots in Colonie to destination restaurants in Guilderland, with local markets and independent shops adding to the everyday convenience.
