About this data: Figures are computed from active and recently-closed listings in Global MLS / GCAR data and are general market indicators, not an appraisal, a live tick-by-tick feed, or a guarantee of value. Medians and averages shift as new sales close and can move sharply in smaller towns with few transactions. Conditions vary by neighborhood, price band, and property. For a precise, property-specific analysis, request a free comparative market analysis from Sharon. Not financial, tax, or legal advice.

What these numbers actually mean for you
The Capital Region stays competitive: well-priced, move-in-ready homes draw strong interest and frequently sell at or above asking, while homes that need work or sit a touch high give buyers room to negotiate.
If you're selling, pricing strategy is everything. List smart against the comps and you draw multiple offers; overprice and the market reads the days-on-market as a problem. The figures here are a starting point, not a substitute for a real pricing analysis of your block.
If you're buying, watch inventory and days-on-market in your target town, not the region as a whole. Getting fully pre-approved first is what wins when the right home finally shows up.
