Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Albany real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
The typical home value in Albany is projected to be $432,840 for the month of March. February’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $424,990—down 3.85% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $388,950 in Linn County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $388,430 in March.
Albany had 52 new listings and 61 listings that went under contract in February, decreasing the area’s total available inventory to 149—down 5.7% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further decreased in March.
Of those 149 active listings, 27.52% reduced their price in the month of February. The median listing price for homes in Albany grew 7.19% from January to February, bringing the current median listing price to $447,000. Based on projected data for March, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract fell year-over-year. In February 2026, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 99 days, compared to 129 days in February 2025. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be decreasing. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this March.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Albany offers residents a balanced blend of small-town charm, abundant outdoor recreation, a vibrant downtown, and a strong sense of community and opportunity.
Albany offers a practical mix of small-city convenience and regional connectivity, with quick access to Corvallis, Salem, and the I‑5 corridor. The city is organized around a compact historic core, established neighborhoods, and developing residential areas that appeal to both first-time buyers and move-up households.
Daily living is straightforward. Grocery options, local clinics, and schools are close to established streets and newer subdivisions. The historic waterfront along the Albany Historic Carousel & Museum and Monteith Riverpark provides walking paths, seasonal concerts, and community events. Families value access to Albany Public Schools and the programs at Linn-Benton Community College, which also supports workforce training for commuters.
Recreation is easy to reach. Residents enjoy sports fields and open space at Timber-Linn Memorial Park, river access for kayaking and fishing, and nearby hiking in the foothills toward Lebanon. Local coffee shops, breweries, and restaurants cluster downtown, while big-box retail and services line major routes, reducing long errands or cross-town drives. Transit riders use the Albany Transit System and regional bus connections for travel to neighboring communities.
Whether you are navigating multiple-offer situations, planning a cross-town move for a new job, or preparing to sell and downsize, the right local agent can translate Albany’s varied neighborhoods and market conditions into clear choices. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with experienced Albany agents who can streamline decisions and reduce the stress of every step.

“By the time we started working with Ian, my wife and I had been actively making offers on homes for five months with another agent. We are currently living in the home that we made our first offer on with Ian as our realtor. He was proactive in guiding us through the transaction, securing our offer at over $20,000 under asking—a huge feat in this current housing market. Our home appraised with instant equity. It it wasn’t for Ian we wouldn’t have gotten our home at such an amazing price, including all of the appliances! Thank you so much, Ian!”
