Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Central Albany’s rolling three-month numbers through July 2026 show some sharp shifts in the short term. The typical home value climbed more than 22 percent from the prior period to about $397,000, while the median list price also moved up month over month. At the same time, homes sold jumped by roughly two-thirds, but new listings dropped by about 40 percent, tightening options for buyers. Median days on market more than doubled from the previous period to 75 days, signaling that properties are sitting longer even as prices rise.
Looking at year-over-year trends, prices are up modestly while activity patterns have changed more dramatically. The typical home value is about 1 percent higher than a year ago, and the median list price has risen a bit more quickly. Pending sales have surged by roughly 100 percent year over year, yet new listings are down about 24 percent, reinforcing low supply. Months of supply has fallen compared with last year, and Central Albany’s 1.9 months trails the broader Albany city level of 2.6 months, underlining a stronger seller’s position in this neighborhood.
Conditions still favor sellers overall according to the local seller’s market gauge, but buyers see some leverage emerging in longer marketing times and an average sale-to-list ratio around 98 percent. Only about one in five homes is selling above the asking price in this rolling three-month view, a lower pace than some past periods. With just 21 active listings and 10 recent sales, each transaction carries more weight for pricing expectations. In this environment, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these shifting dynamics and can guide them through the Central Albany market.

“Working with Josh was an incredible experience from start to finish. As first-time homebuyers Josh made the entire process feel simple, stress-free, and exciting. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and helped us find a home that fits our needs today and our future needs. Thanks to Josh, we were able to secure our home on our very first offer. He navigated the negotiation wonderfully and made us feel secured and informed at every step. His communication was great, his knowledge of the area was top notch, and his commitment to helping us find the right home truly fullfilled our expectations. We were so happy with our experience and would recommend Josh to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to make the experience a positive one. Thank you, Josh, for helping us find our perfect home!”

“Jordan with McKillion Real Estate Group was absolutely fantastic! Professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable about the Portland area real estate market. We were trying to find the ideal home for retirement and came from out of state several times to look at houses. Jordan listened to what we wanted, was patient with each and every request, and found creative solutions when we hit problems or obstacles. On top of all that, he was friendly and easy to get along with. He went above and beyond, even helping us with some issues after closing. I can't recommend him highly enough - more than 5 stars!”

Throughout the entire process, he communicated clearly, stayed on top of every detail, and always had my best interests in mind. His guidance made what could have been a stressful transaction smooth, efficient, and successful. If you are looking for a real estate agent who is honest, hardworking, and genuinely committed to delivering results, Tony is the one.

“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!”
“Excellent. Shannon couldn't have been more helpful. She was efficient and professional, was able to receive an acceptable offer within 24hours after listing the home. We sold our home the next day. Best experience my wife and I have ever had throughout the six times we sold homes over the previous 45 years.”
“Pat was great! Followed through with all her promises and facilitated a good buying experience.”
