“Arica is absolutely everything we could have hoped for in a realtor! From listening to what was important to us and helping us search for potential homes, to general guidance in our first home buying process, Arica was there every step of the way.

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Month-over-month patterns in Central Albany show some notable shifts in this rolling three-month view, with median list prices jumping over 36 percent while the typical home value edged down slightly. New listings surged about 40 percent compared with the prior period, and active listings also increased, signaling more options for shoppers. At the same time, homes sold fell by roughly a third, and pending sales slipped modestly, suggesting buyers may be taking longer to commit.
Looking at year-over-year trends gives more context. Median list prices are up more than 21 percent from a year ago, and the typical home value has risen nearly 3 percent, pointing to solid price growth over time. Buyer activity has strengthened, with homes sold up about 55 percent and pending sales higher by roughly 35 percent compared with last year.
Conditions have also shifted in terms of pace and balance. Median days on market have stretched to around 120 days, far longer than a year ago, and months of supply is now 5.9, higher than the broader city of Albany’s 3.2 months, even though Central Albany is still labeled a seller’s market. About one in six homes sell above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just over 101 percent, showing that well-priced homes can still attract strong offers. Whether you are buying or selling, Agent Pronto can connect you with an agent who understands these dynamics and can guide you through your next move.

“I first met Josh about 5–6 years ago at an open house he was hosting, and we stayed in contact over the years even after my move to Florida and turning the property into a rental. From the very beginning, Josh was friendly, helpful, professional, and easy to work with. When it came time to sell, he helped me move quickly, communicated clearly and often, and kept me updated throughout the entire process. Most importantly, he helped me achieve all of my goals for the sale. I highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and professional realtor!”
“I had a great experience working with Chun. I was buying from out of state and looked at a lot of houses before finding the right one, and he was incredibly patient throughout the entire process. He was honest when he saw potential issues, never pushed me toward a house that wasn’t a good fit, and always made time to answer my questions. I really appreciated having someone who was knowledgeable about the local market and genuinely looking out for my best interests. If you’re looking for a realtor who is responsive, experienced, and easy to work with, I’d definitely recommend Chun.”
“Valerie was a perfect fit for my daughter and I. She listened carefully to our request and found a house that was just right. She helped all the way through the closing process while I was in the hospital and has also been a tremendous resource for us with our many questions.”
“Working with Tony was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly goes above and beyond for his clients. Tony has a deep understanding of the market, strong negotiation skills, and an impressive ability to anticipate issues before they become problems. 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. I would absolutely work with him again and recommend him without hesitation to anyone buying or selling real estate.”
“Laurice understood what I was looking for and she assisted me in achieving a positive outcome.”

“Chuck was fantastic!!!! He helped me and my wife through all of the "sometimes stressful" process of buying a home. While I never met Chuck in person, he made me feel like he was right there the whole time always getting the info we needed in a very timely way. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to purchase a home. I have bought and sold a few homes in my life, and I feel that I could trust Chuck at all times. ”
“Five-star quality realtor, Rick Maurmann. I highly recommend him for real estate in the Salem, Oregon area. First-class service, timely support, great results! ”
“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.”
