Albany, GA Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

Albany produces a steady stream of closings but little consensus: sales over the last six months span a range wide enough that the median is a midpoint between different markets, not a going rate. The distribution below matters more than the headline.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 306
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $142,500
• •Median of MLS-listed sales alone, last 6 months: $160,250
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $80
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $60,000 and $199,900

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 306 closed sales in Albany over the last six months, with a median closing price of $142,500. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $60,000 and $199,900. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 86% of the Albany closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 298 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $47 and $111 per square foot.

Where Albany sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Albany over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $60,000 and $199,900. Among the 90 Georgia markets with a published band, Albany's middle-half spread ($60,000 to $199,900) ranks 88th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median. Measured as the ratio of the upper to the lower quartile, its middle-half spread ranks in the 98th percentile of the 2,187 US markets in Resideline's national Market Watch set, on data as of September 4, 2026.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 28 days, across 189 Albany closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
• •Contract to closing: a median of 31 days, across 182 Albany closings Resideline tracked in the last six months

The Albany angle

Albany's numbers ask for caution: 306 tracked closings over the last six months, a median closed sale price of $142,500, and a middle half stretching all the way from $60,000 to $199,900. That spread is among the widest we track, which strips the median of most of its authority for any single property. The lower stretch of the band runs further from the median than the upper stretch does, so the low side of the Albany market covers enormous ground and a below-median subject can be mispriced by a wide margin while still looking plausible. Nothing here substitutes for closed sales matched tightly to the subject; the citywide figures are the map, not the address.

From market read to offer price

A spread this wide means the citywide number cannot price a specific address; the step that matters is the property-level read. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale, so it cannot be revised once the sale price is known. Grading it depends on a confirmed closing price reaching us, which happens for only a small share of Georgia homes, so the accuracy scoreboard is a national record rather than a Georgia one. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Albany address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Albany over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Albany city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 30% of the 306 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $160,250.
