What These Numbers Mean for Rome Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above shows a Rome market that currently favors sellers, though with more balance than headline prices suggest. The median sale price sits at $229,891, a move of +20.2% year over year, while the sale-to-list ratio holds near 98.66%. With 3.7 months of supply and 107 active listings against 102 pending sales, demand still absorbs inventory faster than it accumulates, but the runway is longer than the numbers alone imply.
The competitive indicators point to where leverage actually sits. Roughly 38.3% of homes leave the market within two weeks, and 41.4% sell above list, so well-priced, move-in-ready homes still draw fast, firm offers. At the same time, 28.8% of listings recorded a price cut, and the median time on market reached 25 days, reflecting a -6 days change in market time. That split tells buyers to move decisively on sharply priced listings but to negotiate confidently on anything that has lingered or already trimmed its price.
For sellers, the message is precision at listing. Homes priced to the $159.96 per square foot benchmark and prepared for showings capture the two-week window; those priced ahead of the market join the 28.8% that eventually correct downward and sell for less. With 259 licensed agents active across Rome, execution varies widely, and choosing an agent who reads these signals correctly is the difference between a quick sale and a stale listing.

What to Look for in a Rome Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually determines your outcome: transaction volume, negotiation results, and consistency across a full career. EffectiveAgents analyzed 298 transactions across Rome to rank performance objectively. The top-ranked agent, Michelle Kotary at Hunt Real Estate Rome NY, has closed 401 transactions and $62.1M in all-time sales volume, a track record that matters when the sale-to-list ratio sits near 98.66% and 41.4% of homes clear above asking. In that environment, an agent who knows how to structure offers and counter price drops across zip codes like 13440 and 13441 protects real dollars for both buyers and sellers. Of the 259 licensed agents working in Rome, only 32 meet the ranking threshold, a reminder that measured performance is concentrated among a smaller group. Review patterns reinforce the data: Kotary carries 78 reviews, and consistent volume over time signals repeat clients and referrals rather than one-off results.
How We Rank Rome 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 Rome 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.

Rome Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Rome, NY?
The top-ranked agent in Rome, NY is Michelle Kotary at Hunt Real Estate Rome NY, with 401 career transactions, 78 reviews, and $62.1M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents identifies top agents by analyzing verified transaction history, sales volume, and client review patterns rather than advertising spend. Across 259 licensed agents in Rome, only 32 meet the ranking criteria. The right agent for you depends on your price point, timeline, and target area, so compare several ranked profiles before deciding.
How were these Rome 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 Rome?
Our data covers 259 real estate agents serving the Rome area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Rome market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Rome mean for sellers?
Rome's median sale price is $229,891 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 Rome?
The median home in Rome sells in about 25 days, reflecting a -6 days change in market time compared with a year ago. That figure is a midpoint, not a guarantee: pricing accuracy, condition, and location drive the actual timeline. With 38.3% of homes leaving the market within two weeks, sharply priced and well-prepared listings move quickly, while 28.8% of listings that started too high take considerably longer. Setting the right price against the $159.96 per square foot benchmark from the start is the strongest lever on speed.
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 Rome 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 Rome 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 Rome 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 Rome realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Rome 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.
