The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Albany metro area for the week ending October 18, 2026, came to a combined $4.955 million. Three were in Saratoga County and two in Albany County, and every one sold for more than $900,000.
The group ranged from a rural estate to an in-town condominium, and four of the five are single-family homes. Two of the five were in Saratoga Springs, and Julie & Co Realty LLC listed two of them.
No. 1 — $1,090,000 · 150 Bush Drive, East Berne, New York
The week’s top sale, at $1,090,000, was a Colonial on 28 acres at 150 Bush Drive in East Berne, the largest lot in this Top 5. The land is wooded and secluded, with cleared and landscaped areas, rock outcroppings and frontage on the road, and it looks out over meadows, hills and mountains. A stone wall runs around the estate, and the property borders Thacher State Park.
Built in 1994, the home was remodeled and expanded in 2011. It has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and 3,137 square feet of living space. Cherry floors run from the kitchen through the dining room and into a bright living room. The kitchen was designed for serious cooking, with Schrock cabinets, granite counters, a gas cooktop, a stainless double wall oven, an island and a separate breakfast bar. The primary suite has a gas fireplace, a tray ceiling and a large custom walk-in closet, and its bathroom has Kohler fixtures and a tiled glass shower.
Downstairs, a finished, heated lower level with a walkout includes a family room wired for sound. Outside, a stone patio surrounds the in-ground pool in a fenced and professionally landscaped backyard, with a gas grill and an outdoor bar for entertaining. The property has garage space for five cars: an oversized attached garage and a detached, heated second garage of about 1,400 square feet, built in 2016 with high ceilings suited to car lifts and now used as a home gym.
