Capital Region NY Housing Market Update – Spring 2026

If you've been wondering what's really happening in the Capital Region real estate market right now, you're not alone. This is one of the most common questions I'm getting from buyers and sellers across Rensselaer County, Troy, East Greenbush, and Averill Park.

From what I'm seeing, the market is still active...but it's more strategic than it was in recent years.

Buyers are still out there and ready to move when the right home comes along, but they're paying closer attention to price, condition, and overall value. Homes that are priced correctly and presented well are still getting strong interest, while others are sitting longer and seeing price adjustments.

For sellers, this means preparation and pricing matter more than ever. The way a home is marketed online can make a big difference in how quickly it sells and the level of interest it receives.

The biggest takeaway right now is that strategy matters. Every situation is different, and understanding how to position your home or your offer can make all the difference in today's market.

I shared a more detailed breakdown of what I'm seeing (and what it means for buyers and sellers) here:
