“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mary! As a first time homebuyer, I was nervous and overwhelmed going into the process, but Mary made the entire experience so much easier and less intimidating. From start to finish, she provided incredible guidance, answered all of my questions, and always made sure I felt confident in my decisions. Her knowledge, patience, and dedication truly made all the difference. Even when we faced unexpected obstacles along the way, Mary went above and beyond to help navigate them and ensure everything came together. She genuinely cares about her clients and always had my best interests at heart. I am so grateful to have had Mary by my side throughout such an important milestone in my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”

Latest Monthly Snapshot

Monthly Pricing Trends for Columbia County
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for Columbia County
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Columbia County has been edging higher, with active listings up about 5 percent in the past month and roughly 5 percent year over year. Even with more homes on the market, contract activity is mixed, as homes sold have risen nearly 10 percent over the past year while pending sales are down sharply compared with last September. Together, these shifts contribute to a buyer-leaning environment, reflected in a market gauge that classifies the area as a buyer's market.
Pricing is adjusting to this balance of supply and demand. The typical home value is up more than 8 percent from a year ago, yet the median list price has slipped slightly year over year, suggesting sellers may be tempering expectations to meet buyers where they are. Month to month, home values dipped noticeably, while the share of properties selling above asking price has climbed modestly over the year, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 99 percent, showing that final sale prices are generally close to list.
Market pace has quickened somewhat, with the median days on market down about 7 percent from last year and months of supply easing compared with a year ago, though local supply remains higher than the New York state average of 3.9 months. Columbia County’s inventory growth is also running a bit ahead of the broader state trend. With these crosscurrents in pricing, supply, and contract activity, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate professional who understands how to navigate this market and advocate for their needs.

Columbia County offers residents a welcoming blend of rural beauty, thriving arts and culture, and convenient access to outdoor recreation and essential community services.
Columbia County stands out from nearby Albany and Rensselaer counties with its blend of historic river towns, creative energy, and wide open farmland. Along the Hudson River, places like Hudson and Catskill offer walkable streets, galleries, and restaurants, while rural communities such as Ghent and Chatham prize space, quiet, and long term roots.
Residents enjoy a strong cultural scene anchored by venues like Hudson Hall, the oldest surviving theater in the state, and farm to table dining at spots such as Grazin’ and Local 111. Outdoor life is a constant draw, from hiking at Harrier Hill Park and Taconic State Park to weekends at Lake Taghkanic State Park.
Families and long time residents value resources like Columbia-Greene Community College and county libraries and arts programs that connect small towns across the map. The housing stock ranges from restored brick row houses in Hudson to farmhouses and contemporary builds on country roads, which means pricing, competition, and timing can vary widely from one hamlet to the next.

“Kati was incredible and went above and beyond. When I tell people about how much she helped me they say usually realtors don’t do all that. She truly works all day and night and I would never work with anyone but her again. I cannot express how grateful I am for her assistance in this chaotic process and could not have done it without her!”
“Marlena did the outstanding job finding my dream home. she did not give up until I found exactly what I was looking for. She really is a great real estate agent. I I highly recommend her.”
“Lisa Jeanneret of Corcoran Country Living was the listing agent for the home we sold in Mahopac, which sold very quickly. Lisa also helped us find our new home in Hopewell Junction, which was not easy. We wanted to move closer to family & friends in the Wappingers/East Fishkill area. Lisa stuck with us for over a year looking at several houses, even when my wife and I were ready to give up, until we found the right match. Lisa has a lot of local knowledge and was able to recommend various resources to help conclude our sale and purchase, including lawyers, engineers and contractors.”
“Alex was amazing and super helpful in assisting me with my first house purchase. I came in with little to no knowledge and left owning a house that I really love!”
“Aaron was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We liked him immediately—we have a lot in common, and his tie-less style worked with our own attitudes, humor, and personalities. He might not be formally dressed, but he is incredibly professional and knowledgeable, and he was easy to communicate with throughout the process. Our timeline was compressed, and Aaron went with it. He helped us find the most beautiful house, and then walked us through every step of the process, including explaining any issues that came up and handling tricky communications. He even helped reassure us when we were stressed and despondent. He is a remarkable real estate agent and a truly good guy. We are so grateful for and to him. We can’t recommend him enough.”
“Helen and Dan did such an amazing job assisting me in my search for an apartment! As a first time renter, I had no idea how any of it worked. Helen and Dan walked me through it, were extremely responsive, and found my dream place. They are some of the most professional people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, and would recommend them to anyone who needs real estate assistance. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Alexis was amazing right from the start. She answered every question I threw at her and even pointed out things I didn’t think to ask about. Her timeliness for responses was impressive. Friendly, knowledgeable and responsive; all around great experience!”
“Ryan was fantastic and helped us navigate the process with grace. As new home owners, we were worried about all the work that goes into buying a house, but with Ryan’s help, the process was quick and easy!”
“Working with Curt was amazing! I chose him to sell my house because he made me feel comfortable from our very first meeting, even though I was selling the house I inherited as is and it needed a lot of work. He was incredibly patient throughout the entire process, especially when dealing with a difficult buyer, and he guided me every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend Curt to anyone looking for a realtor.”
“Virginia worked well with me to sell my home. Communication was easy and she was always on time”
“If you’re looking for a real estate agent that is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and caring, Chris is who you want. From the beginning, Chris was positive and welcoming and I felt my business was appreciated. Chris answered any and all of my questions immediately. He is great at explaining things and extremely patient. We had some hurdles (out of our control), but he was very reassuring. Real estate transactions can be very stressful, especially when things are moving quickly. I’m glad I had Chris as an agent, he helped me not to panic and I was able to take it easy and not worry. I highly recommend Chris, he is top notch! Thanks a million, Chris!”
“Rachel has been very helpful, even when we had an issue after closing. It was such a challenge to buy a house, not living in the area, but we put our trust in her to help us. She has a lot of knowledge of the school districts, pros and cons of locations, and a good understanding of the math involved with offers.”
“I were so fortunate to have found Jason Lysack when I the Lagrange area. As our Realtor, he helped me find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. He was patient as I was very excitied but emotional at that time, since i had just lost my husband and mom three months eariler. We looked at homes over two months, almost every day. Jason cautioned me about making unreasonable offers when I fell too quickly for overpriced homes. In short, he was always on my side working to make my house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Jason was that he was always more focused on answering my questions, giving me good advice, and finding homes that met my needs than he was on closing a deal. We would recommend him to anyone. I am so happy now, thanks to Jason !!!!!”
“Arleen was pleasant, knowledgeable, and proactive. I enjoyed working with Arleen. She did things the way I would have. She was direct, patient to a point, and professional. The process did not lag on Arleen's watch. Highly recommend.”

She was very responsive to my inquiries, knowledgeable about local rules, regulations, and procedures, and effectively acted on my behalf to theother parties agents and lawyers. In addition, she was very pleasant and easy to deal with.”
