Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory in Cortland has tightened in this rolling three-month view, with active listings down more than 16 percent from a year ago. Homes sold have fallen about 25 percent year over year, even as new listings increased nearly 19 percent. Months of supply has risen to 3.5, up sharply from both a year ago and earlier this year, pointing to a bit more breathing room for shoppers than in the past few seasons.
Pricing has been edging higher despite the softer sales pace. The typical home value is up just over 4 percent year over year, while the median list price has climbed more than 11 percent. Sellers are still securing strong results, with the average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent and about 42 percent of homes closing above the asking price in this period.
Homes are not moving quite as fast as they did a year ago, with median days on market lengthening to around 40 days, up from both last year and this past spring. This mix of firmer prices, slower sales, and modestly higher inventory creates a more nuanced landscape where strategy on both pricing and timing matters. Buyers trying to spot value and sellers aiming to stand out can both benefit from local expertise, and Agent Pronto can connect them with a Cortland agent who understands these trends in detail.

“Erin did an outstanding job selling our home for us. She went above and beyond helping us get ready for closing. She is a very knowledgeable realtor. I appreciated her candor in letting us know how to prepare for market. She is very helpful and is always willing to help you in any way she can. She went so far as to find us a realtor in Florida that turned out to be a great realtor too! Thanks Erin!”

“Katherine was great! We first met on a Friday and she scheduled showings for us that Sunday despite a massive snowstorm. Having that opportunity contributed to us getting our offer accepted since not many other realtors were out braving the elements with their clients! Katherine knew what to look for during the showings and wasn't afraid to point out the concerns. After our offer was accepted Katherine was responsive and helpful through the whole process. After closing she even called out electric company for us to help with an issue we were having and stopped by to drop off a very generous gift. 100% would recommend.”
BELL Home Team
“Working with Tracy Kermes to sell my parents’ home in Camillus was an exceptional experience from start to finish. She is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and truly goes above and beyond for her clients. Any time we had a question, Tracy had an answer almost immediately — and not just quick responses, but thoughtful, informed guidance that made every step feel easy. We very quickly realized that following Tracy’s suggestions was the smartest move we could make. From pricing to timing to which fixes were worth doing, she handled the process with confidence and expertise. We trusted her completely, and she made what could have been a stressful sale feel absolutely hassle free. Tracy is a true real estate professional who knows her market inside and out. She gave honest opinions when it came to selling, she helped us focus on the the things that mattered — saving us time, money, stress and headaches. On top of all that, Tracy has an incredible network of industry contacts who move fast and deliver. When small hiccups arose, she resolved them before they even became an issue. That made a huge difference in keeping the process smooth, efficient and stress free. I’d recommend Tracy to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. She’s trustworthy, proactive, and genuinely invested in her clients’ success. We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent. She put together a plan to market the house that we agreed on. The result …She delivered 10 offers in 5 days of listing!”

“I have worked with John since 2015. In that timeframe, I have bought 2 houses and sold 1 with him. His process knowledge is excellent and comes up with solutions when things don't go the way they were planned. He continues to show us a few properties a year as we try to find our next home for our family.”
Keller Williams Realty
“This was my second time working with Nathan and each time has been a delight! He is on time for appointments, responds promptly to requests for showings, and proactively marketed our home to achieve a high level of interest on home buying platforms. We had over a dozen showings scheduled in the first day of listing and received multiple competitive offers and an accepted offer within 48 hours of listing. In addition, Nathan is kind and professional and is exactly the pro you want working for you in this process! I highly recommend Nathan as a trusted real estate advisor for your upcoming purchase or sale.”

“Bob was fantastic throughout the entire buying process. He provided clear guidance, strong negotiation skills, and excellent market insight. We always felt informed and supported, and was quick to respond whenever we had questions or concerns. His professionalism and dedication made a huge difference, and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.”

“Buying my home was one of the most important decisions of my life, and having nate by my side made all the difference. From the very beginning, they treated me like more than just a client—they truly cared. Their guidance, patience, and dedication made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. I always felt supported and confident in every step. If you’re looking for someone you can trust who will genuinely look out for your best I highly recommend”

“Mary is amazing! She stepped right in when I contacted her that I wanted to sell and find my forever home! She did everything! We sold in less than 24 hours! She is now working with me to find the perfect forever! She's just fantastic and I highly recommend her for all your buying and selling needs!”

“Mallory was amazing through the entire process. She helped me keep my emotions and “need” to find a house in check so I didn’t just offer on a place because it was available. She kept me reassured through the entire process. She never seemed to mind when I sent a ton of houses for her to check on and set up appts for. Once the offer was accepted she continued to check in to make sure everything was going smoothly. I hope to never have to buy another home but if I do I am absolutely going to have her by my side.”
Howard Hanna
“Happy to find an agent who was familiar with multi-family across the nation for my purchase.”
Keller Williams Realty Greater Rochester
“Jeff was undeniably the most AMAZING Realtor that I could have ever asked for. I can't say enough about what an amazingly caring, responsive, Realtor he is. When I had a question, and trust me, I had a lot, I always felt comfortable reaching out to Jeff and knowing that he would be there for me. This was my first time purchasing a home and Jeff was there for me every step of the way. He grew to know my needs in a home, but also my needs as a novice first time home buyer. If I didn't understand something or just had a question about something, Jeff was the person that I would lean on. He cares immensely about his clients and makes them feel like family. I can honestly say that I wouldn't be in my first home without him. He would always let me know that he was there to help me throughout this process and I truly learned so much. So, I know that my next home purchase will be way easier because of Jeff's guidance. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone. He cares so much about his career, he's passionate about helping his clients, and I can't say enough about how dynamic of a Realtor and a person I think he is. Jeff is my Realtor for life!”
Procopio Real Estate
“When I first began my home selling journey, I was SURE I was going to do it all myself. I thought no one would be able to deliver the level of care and consideration that I was searching for. When we decided to meet with Marianne, my whole plan was rerouted. Marianne put me at ease from the moment we met. From her professionalism to the immense knowledge she shared absolutely blew me away. She is passionate about her trade but even more passionate about helping people. From start to finish she consistently went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. Her marketing strategies and social media presence is pertinent in this day and age and is an important contributing factor in her success with clients. She will be able to navigate you through challenges that only a skilled real estate professional can. We truly couldn’t be more happy with the level of service she provided. We will forever recommend Marianne to anyone looking to buy/sell/invest.”
