Unfortunately, the data I have doesn't include a "Sold Score" for Albert Lea. However, I can share some insights about the market right now based on the numbers I do have. The median listing price in Albert Lea is $254,900, which is slightly up from last month but lower than it was a year ago. Sellers are seeing prices decrease by 7.3% compared to a year ago. There are 128 homes actively for sale right now, which is a significant increase of 29.3% compared to this time last year. This means buyers have more choices than they did a year ago. Homes are taking a bit longer to sell, too. The median time a home stays on the market is 60 days, which is about 18% longer than a year ago. This suggests that buyers have more time to make decisions. Fewer new homes are coming on the market, down 15.4% from a year ago. Yet, with more active listings and homes taking longer to sell, buyers might find good opportunities. Overall, with more homes for sale and prices a bit lower than last year, buyers in Albert Lea have some good options to consider.
