Rochester real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Rochester real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Rochester is currently tilted strongly toward sellers, with a market gauge of 9 out of 10 and only 1.2 months of supply available. Homes are moving quickly at a median of 19 days on market, and nearly 60% of recent sales closed above the list price with an average sale-to-list ratio of about 1.07.
Prices show a mix of firmness and short-term softening, which helps explain the intensity of activity. The typical home value is about $159,550, up 2.94% from last year but down 4.75% from the prior month, while the median list price of roughly $142,400 has slipped about 5% month over month.
Underlying all of this is tight inventory and slower new listing activity, which constrains options for buyers even as it supports sellers. Inventory has dropped to 139 homes, down 14.72% from last month and 33.81% compared with a year ago, and new listings are down more than 38% year over year as pending sales also trend lower. Compared with Monroe County overall, where the typical home value is around $243,000, Rochester offers lower price points but a similarly seller-leaning backdrop. In this kind of fast-moving seller’s market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local real estate agent.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
