Buyers are fairly active in Albany right now. While there are more homes for sale, many are still going under contract. There were 139 homes that went into pending status in the most recent month. This means buyers are still making offers and moving forward with purchases. The pending ratio, which compares homes under contract to active listings, is 0.32. This ratio shows that for every 100 homes available, 32 are in the process of being sold, indicating continued buyer interest. Homes are also selling quicker than they were a year ago. The median home spent 62 days on the market, which is 6.1% less time than over the past year. However, some sellers are adjusting prices to attract these buyers. About 32.4% of homes for sale have had a price reduction, which is 9.3% more than a year ago. For buyers, this means there are opportunities to find homes and sellers might be more willing to negotiate, especially on properties that have been on the market for a while or have seen price drops.
