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

Year-over-year trends in Tompkins County point to a cooling but still active market, with typical home values essentially flat while the median list price has edged up modestly. Inventory has expanded notably over the past year, as active listings are up by about ten percent and months of supply has surged, signaling more options and leverage shifting away from the intense seller advantage seen previously.

Turning to the latest monthly snapshot for September 2026, buyer activity has slowed, with homes sold down sharply from August and a longer median time on market now close to ten weeks. At the same time, new listings have ticked up slightly month over month and pending sales have jumped, suggesting that while closings dipped, there is still meaningful demand working its way through the pipeline.

Pricing dynamics also show a reset from earlier in the year, with the share of homes selling above list dropping compared with both last month and last year and the average sale-to-list ratio easing just below 100 percent. Compared with New York State overall, Tompkins County’s home values sit lower and inventory is deeper, giving local buyers relatively more breathing room while sellers must price carefully to stand out. In this evolving neutral market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a skilled local agent to navigate conditions and negotiate effectively.

“I can’t say enough great things about Nael! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make the entire home-buying process as smooth as possible. His professionalism, knowledge, communication, and dedication truly set him apart. What I appreciated most was his honesty, patience, and willingness to always go the extra mile. No matter what challenges came up, Nael was always available, proactive, and committed to making sure everything was handled the right way. He genuinely cares about his clients and treats the process as if he were buying the home himself. Buying a home is a major decision, and having someone you can trust makes all the difference. I’m extremely grateful for everything Nael did and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. You won’t find a better realtor!”

“Nicole Isaacs helped my wife and I purchase our first home. I work in construction project management so a lot of what was involved and the overall pace of the process felt very familiar to me however there were a few curve balls thrown at us that I was unprepared for and Nicole used her channels to keep the negotiations on track to salvage the deal, especially important when we were feeling panicked. She ensured that all relevant parties were kept in the loop at the appropriate times, something I was trying to do myself but dropped the ball on a few times, and she was right there to keep the process moving without us even having to ask. We feel very lucky to have met Nicole and will be reaching out to her the next time we need to buy or sell, and will be enthusiastically recommending her to friends and family in the area.”

“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!!!!”
