“I am so grateful to Laura Helker and all the work she did to help me become a first-time homeowner! I was entirely new to the process and a bit overwhelmed, but Laura was incredibly patient with me and my parents and made us feel comfortable. She did a great job explaining the intricacies of buying a house, and stuck with us through the whole process. It was great to have her support and knowledge, and she was always easy to get ahold of whenever I had questions. I highly recommend Laura!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory in Hornell has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up modestly from a year ago while new listings have climbed nearly 30 percent. Even with more homes available, closed sales are down sharply year over year and pending contracts have also declined, signaling slower follow-through from showings to closings.
Pricing has been firm to rising in response to this mixed demand picture, as the typical home value is up almost 10 percent compared with the same period last year while the median list price has jumped more than 25 percent. At the same time, months of supply has surged to about 6.2 months from roughly 1.3 a year ago, indicating that buyers have far more choices even as values trend higher.
Speed and negotiation dynamics show a nuanced market, with median days on market dropping from around 60 days a year ago to about 24 days now, yet overall sales volumes remain lower. A growing share of homes, roughly 42 percent in this period, is selling above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged up, suggesting well-priced properties still attract strong offers. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local Hornell agent who understands how to price, market, and negotiate effectively.

“Lena did a great job for us. She was accessible and very professional. She was always pleasant with us and we appreciated her opinion when we asked for it. She is a positive person and it made our choice of our new home so much easier having her confidence on our side.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Matt did a perfect job helping me sell my home. He is responsive, attends to details and is knowledgeable of the market. Everything went smoothly because of this. I would absolutely recommend him. Thanks Matt.”
“My husband and I had a fantastic experience working with Harlan! From the beginning of March through mid-April, he dedicated nearly every Saturday and some week-days to touring homes with us — always showing up with patience, insight, and a positive attitude. He truly listened to what we were looking for and never pressured us, which made the process feel supportive rather than stressful. His knowledge and responsiveness helped us feel confident at every step. He really does look out for his clients and goes above and beyond to make sure you get into the right home for you! We’re so grateful for his time and expertise, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home! Harlan is not only a great realtor but also a wonderful friend! Thank you for helping us buy our first home!”
“Joe is an upstanding man who made searching for and buying a house easier. He guided me through the process and referred me to an excellent attorney and mortage lender. I was looking to downsize and move to a neighboring city and he helped to find the perfect house that fits all my needs. I am able to live comfortably in my new home and my dogs love their much larger backyard. I will be working with Joe in the future if i decide to move again. Thank you for your hard work and goung to batt for me when I needed it.”
“Happy to find an agent who was familiar with multi-family across the nation for my purchase.”
“A Heartfelt Review for Realtor MyoungJin Joo It is not easy to meet truly trustworthy people in life, especially in fields like real estate, where most individuals have limited experience. However, MJ was different. She is an exceptionally skilled and highly reliable realtor. From our very first meeting, she clearly outlined our goals, proposed practical strategies to achieve them, and then delivered on every promise she made. Unlike other agents who might suggest remodeling without specific guidance, MJ personally guided us through the process. She didn't just emphasize the importance of renovations—she helped us execute them, demonstrating her remarkable design talent along the way. Thanks to her expertise, our home was transformed beyond our expectations, ultimately leading to a successful sale. One of the most unforgettable aspects of working with MJ was her incredible family. Her hardworking and detail-oriented husband, Karl, and her thoughtful son, who often came to assist, exemplified genuine family dedication and teamwork. Their combined efforts left a lasting impression on us. We are deeply grateful to MyoungJin Joo, a true expert in her field, for helping us pass on our newly revitalized home to its next owner. Thank you, MJ, for your unwavering commitment and professionalism! We wish you continued success in all your future endeavors. With heartfelt appreciation, Kye-Im Jeon”
“Scott helped me into my first home and then with its sale. He is very easygoing and down to earth. He is very open to questions and text messages. When I bought a home outside of his area of expertise, and when we ended up in a dual agent situation where my seller realtor ended up being the listing agent for one of the homes we wanted, Scott helped give me a neutral opinion on how much to offer. He was technically not hired to help out in that scenario so I thought it was nice of him to do a little homework for me. Recommended.”
“My wife and I attended an open house hosted by Niccole Vaughn and we were impressed with her knowledge and we liked her personality. We selected her to act as the agent to sell our house and we were not disappointed. Niccole met us at our house and came prepared with a thorough market analysis that indicated a fair amount of online research. After seeing our house in person and the improvements that we had made, she adjusted the recommended selling price upward. This was a good decision and it was reflected in the higher sale price that we received for our eventual home sale. Throughout the period when our house was on the market Niccole was readily available for any questions we had via text, voice, and email. Based on her extensive experience, she made informed recommendations on what quick updates to our house we should make to appeal to buyers and which updates would not be worth making. Niccole was aware of when online viewings of our house were tapering off and took actions to create more interest such as refreshing the online photos and changing the text description. My wife and I would unhesitatingly recommend choosing Niccole for your agent for a house purchase or a sale.”
“My wife and I were having a tough time with our realtor and finding our perfect dream home when someone recommend Virginia to us. THANK GOD! She was a dream. She was so much help. Patient, knowledgeable, honest, and efficient. I would recommend her to anyone seriously trying to find their dream homem”
