Central Albany’s rolling three-month snapshot through August 2026 shows notable short-term shifts. Typical home values climbed sharply month over month, with the median sale price up nearly 28 percent, while the median list price also jumped more than 15 percent, signaling sellers are testing higher price points. Homes sold more than doubled compared with the prior three-month period, and pending sales rose by about 30 percent, pointing to stronger recent demand. At the same time, new listings declined about 20 percent, tightening the pool of options for buyers.

Sales activity is well above last year’s level, as homes sold and pending sales are both up more than 40 percent on a rolling three-month basis.
Inventory trends add more context to the current seller’s market designation for Central Albany. Active listings are modestly higher than a year ago, yet months of supply has dropped sharply over the past year to just over two months, indicating leaner inventory even as more homes change hands. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with the median days on market now about 60 days, but roughly one in five properties still sells above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 97 percent. Whether you are a buyer watching these shifts or a seller looking to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands this evolving market.
