A custom-built seven-bedroom house a short walk from downtown Saratoga Springs and the Saratoga Race Course changed hands for $2.33 million on September 14, 2026, the highest reported home sale in the Albany, New York metro area for the week ending September 20. Finished in 2020, it spans three levels and 18 rooms on an oversized lot.
The five reported sales came to a combined $8.89 million. They run from a 2003 house with 65 feet of Saratoga Lake frontage to a condominium completed in 2025 near Broadway, and the lone closing outside Saratoga Springs was a French Colonial on 8.5 wooded acres in Ballston Spa. Julie & Co Realty LLC was the listing brokerage on three of this week’s five reported sales.
