Welcome to the latest Columbia County NY real estate market update detailing the clear divergence across our local housing segments. While the median July sale price reached $545,866—up 21.44% year-over-year—the year-to-date median sits at $495,000, illustrating how specific price bands are moving at very different speeds.

Overall inventory rests at 6.88 months, reflecting a balanced market that slightly favors buyers.

However, 42% of homes in this entry tier required price adjustments due to elevated rate sensitivity among buyers.
