Did You Know Rochester, NY is one of the Hottest Real Estate Markets in the Country? Here’s Why.
It’s official—Rochester, NY is one of the hottest real estate markets in the nation right now. According to the National Association of Realtors, Monroe County ranked 5th out of more than 1,600 U.S. counties for market competitiveness as of March 2025. Even more impressive? Homes here are flying off the market in a median of just 13 days—the fastest in the country!
As Yahoo Finance puts it, Rochester is “surging” thanks to its unbeatable mix of affordability, lifestyle perks, and natural beauty. The New York Post calls it “one of America’s most competitive property markets,” and Time Out lists it among the best places to live in the U.S.
So what’s driving all this buzz?
Rochester has a lot going for it. Think: more than 140 festivals a year, a booming food and arts scene, and easy access to the Finger Lakes and Adirondacks. Business Insider also highlights how low inventory is pushing demand even higher, giving sellers the upper hand while buyers race to find their dream homes.
And when it comes to navigating this fast-paced market, you’ll want the very best on your side.
