    What These Numbers Mean for Albany Buyers and Sellers

    Albany's housing market currently shows a median sale price of $441,208 with homes measured at roughly $268.47 per square foot. The Housing Market Trends module above tracks the underlying movement, and the combined signals point to a market where leverage is shifting toward buyers. With 2.7 months of supply and 193 active listings against 74 homes sold and 234 pending sales monthly, inventory is neither scarce nor oversupplied, but the details favor negotiation. Median time on market sits at 60 days, and prices moved -4.1% year over year.

    The clearest evidence of buyer leverage is that 40.1% of listings recorded a price reduction, while only 21.8% of homes sold above asking and 21.3% left the market within two weeks. For a buyer, this means many sellers have already signaled flexibility, and offers below list with reasonable contingencies are worth pursuing, especially on properties that have lingered past the median timeline. The average sale-to-list ratio of 99.36% confirms most closings land just under asking.

    For a seller, the message is precision pricing. Homes priced ahead of the data tend to join the 40.1% that eventually cut, extending time on market. Anchoring to recent comparable sales rather than aspirational figures keeps a listing competitive within the first two weeks, when buyer attention peaks. Albany has 428 licensed agents, but experience navigating this specific balance of leverage varies widely, which is why matching with a data-verified professional matters when structuring an offer or a listing strategy.

    What this shift means: Compared with a year ago, prices moved -4.1% while the sale-to-list ratio changed -0.07% and market time reflected a +6 days change. Together these trends indicate buyers now have more room to negotiate and time to evaluate than they did last year. Sellers should read the longer timeline as a cue to price against current comparable sales rather than last year's peaks.

    Year-over-year data reflects the most recent rolling period from Albany MLS records. Prior year values calculated from current figures and published YoY changes.

    What to Look for in a Albany Realtor

    Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually determines outcomes: transaction volume, pricing accuracy, and negotiation results measured against real data. EffectiveAgents analyzed 689 annual transactions in Albany to rank 54 agents from the broader pool of licensed professionals. The top-ranked agent, Jessica Pankratz at Connected Real Estate Group, has closed 397 transactions with all-time sales volume near $110.8M. That depth of experience matters most in a market where 40.1% of listings see reductions and the average sale-to-list ratio sits at 99.36%, because skilled negotiation directly protects both a buyer's offer and a seller's net proceeds. Agents who work neighborhoods like Willamette, Santiam, and Jackson Hill understand how pricing and demand vary block to block, which is difficult to see from citywide figures alone. When reviewing candidates, look beyond a single five-star rating and study the pattern across many closings, since consistency across dozens of transactions is a stronger signal of reliable performance than any single review.

    How We Rank Albany 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 Albany 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.

    Albany Real Estate Agent FAQs

    Who is the best real estate agent in Albany, OR?

    The top-ranked agent in Albany, OR is Jessica Pankratz at Connected Real Estate Group, with 397 closed transactions and roughly $110.8M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents ranks agents using verified transaction data rather than advertising, analyzing 689 transactions across the market to identify 54 top performers from 428 licensed agents. The best agent for you depends on your neighborhood, price range, and whether you are buying or selling, so we recommend comparing several ranked profiles before deciding.

    How were these Albany 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 Albany?

    Our data covers 428 real estate agents serving the Albany area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Albany market data, not simply everyone holding a license.

    What does the median sale price in Albany mean for sellers?

    Albany's median sale price is $441,208 as of August 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 Albany?

    Homes in Albany currently take a median of 60 days to sell, and market time reflects a +6 days change compared with last year. Your actual timeline depends on pricing, condition, and location, since well-priced homes in demand areas often go under contract faster while overpriced listings join the 40.1% that see reductions. With 2.7 months of supply, buyers have more selection, so accurate pricing from the start is the most reliable way to shorten your days on market.

    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 Albany 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 Albany 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 Albany 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 Albany realtor before hiring them?

    Ask how many homes they have closed in Albany 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.
