Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).

Cortland’s rolling three-month snapshot shows a tight but active market. Active listings are flat year over year at 80, yet new listings are down nearly 15 percent, so fewer homes are entering the pipeline. Even with that pullback, homes sold have inched up compared with last year, and pending sales remain solid at 40.

With supply constrained, pricing has been firming. The typical home value is up slightly year over year, while the median list price has climbed much faster, rising about 16 percent in the same period. Sellers are often getting what they ask and a bit more, with the average sale-to-list ratio above 101 percent and about half of recent sales closing above the asking price.

Time on market reflects steady demand. The median home spends 34 days on the market in this rolling three-month view, only a touch higher than a year ago, and roughly 42 percent of homes go off-market in two weeks or less. Months of supply sits at 2.7, which lines up with Cortland’s classification as a seller’s market. Buyers face competition and need sharp pricing and quick decision-making, while sellers must balance ambition with realism, and Agent Pronto can help both sides connect with a knowledgeable local agent to navigate these conditions.

“Working with Claudia Miller was an absolute pleasure. Selling a home—especially while coordinating a major out-of-state relocation—can be a highly stressful experience, but Claudia made the entire process remarkably seamless. She successfully sold my property and did a phenomenal job of setting clear, realistic expectations right from the start. From navigating the initial property disclosures to finalizing the sales contract, her professionalism, transparency, and expertise were evident at every step. I highly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for a top-tier real estate professional.”

“Orly was wonderful from the first phone call to the endless house appointments we scheduled and attended. She never stopped helping me find my perfect home and take in my thoughts, concerns and likes. She was there every step of the way from viewing, inspection, maintenance and repairs, familiarizing with previous owner all the house details, to closing. I never felt like I was bothering her or obligated to make a house purchase I did not want and she never tried to sell me any home I did not want. She was the best!!!!”
