There are some challenges for sellers in Albany right now. Listing prices are down, and there's more competition from other homes on the market. However, homes are still selling relatively quickly. Overall, it might be a tougher time to sell compared to a year ago. The median listing price is $442,475. This is 1.2% lower than the previous month and 5.3% lower than a year ago. This means that homes are listed for less money now than they were recently and last year. There are 437 active listings, which is almost 19% more than a year ago. This increase in available homes means more choices for buyers, so your home will have more competition. Homes are staying on the market for a median of 62 days before going under contract. This is slightly faster than a year ago, which is a positive sign for how quickly properties are moving. About a third of homes, 32.4%, have had a price reduction. This is a noticeable increase from last year and shows that many sellers are adjusting their prices to attract buyers. If you're thinking of selling, be prepared for more competition and potentially lower offers than a year ago. Pricing your home carefully from the start will be very important.
