What These Numbers Mean for Jamestown Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above shows a Jamestown market where pricing power and buyer patience are coexisting in an unusual mix. The median sale price sits at $134,936, a move of +33.7% year over year, while homes now take a median of 25 to sell, reflecting a +7 days change in market time. That combination (firmer prices alongside slower absorption) is worth reading carefully before you write or accept an offer.
The competitive indicators point to a market that has cooled from its peak without flipping to buyers. With 25.9% of homes selling above list, 39.5% going off the market within two weeks, and the average sale-to-list ratio at 96.34%, well-priced listings still move quickly. At the same time, 24.5% of listings recorded a price cut and months of supply stands at 4.8, which signals real negotiating room on anything that lingers. For buyers, the lesson is selectivity: compete hard and clean on fresh, correctly priced inventory, but expect leverage on homes that have sat past the two-week window.
For sellers, the data argues for disciplined pricing from day one. The 24.5% price-drop share shows that overreaching invites exactly the delay the rising median days on market reflects, and a reduction rarely recovers full value. Pricing to the current $93.02 per square foot benchmark positions a home for the quicker sale. With 250 licensed agents working this market, the difference between a strategic pricing plan and a guess often comes down to who you hire.

What to Look for in a Jamestown Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition or a billboard tells you little about how they perform at the closing table. The more useful signal is verified transaction history, review depth, and how consistently an agent protects a client's price in negotiation. On EffectiveAgents, those measures are analyzed directly from closed data rather than self-reported claims. The top-ranked team in Jamestown, Rick & Julia McMahon at Real Estate Advantage, has recorded 914 transactions, 136 client reviews, and $219.2M in all-time sales volume, a track record built across both the 14701 and 14702 zip codes. That volume matters in a market where the average sale-to-list ratio is 96.34% and 25.9% of homes still clear above asking: an agent who negotiates those spreads repeatedly tends to recover their fee and more. When reviewing candidates, read for patterns across many reviews rather than a single glowing testimonial, and look for consistency on communication and pricing accuracy. Of the 250 licensed agents in the area, only 18 meet the EffectiveAgents ranking threshold.
How We Rank Jamestown Real Estate Agents
Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Jamestown market today.
Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

Jamestown Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Jamestown, NY?
Based on verified closed-transaction data, Rick & Julia McMahon at Real Estate Advantage rank as the top team in Jamestown, NY, with 914 transactions, 136 reviews, and $219.2M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents identifies top agents by analyzing actual closings, review patterns, and pricing performance rather than advertising spend. Only 18 of the area's 250 licensed agents meet our ranking standard. The right fit also depends on your property type and target zip code, so compare two or three ranked agents before deciding.
How were these Jamestown real estate agents ranked?
Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.
How many real estate agents are in Jamestown?
Our data covers 250 real estate agents serving the Jamestown area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Jamestown market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Jamestown mean for sellers?
Jamestown's median sale price is $134,936 as of September 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.
How long does it take to sell a house in Jamestown?
The median home in Jamestown sells in about 25, though that figure has shifted by +7 days compared with last year, so timelines are running longer than they recently did. Your actual timeline depends on pricing accuracy, condition, and location within the 14701 or 14702 zip codes. With 39.5% of homes going under contract within two weeks, correctly priced and well-presented listings still move fast, while 24.5% of listings needed a price cut, which typically extends the time to sale. Pricing to current data from day one is the most reliable way to sell quickly.
Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?
No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.
Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?
No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.
What commission do Jamestown realtors charge?
Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.
Should I use a local Jamestown agent or a national brand?
The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Jamestown neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.
What questions should I ask a Jamestown realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Jamestown in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
