Market Analysis

Troy sits in a sweet spot for value — the community delivers strong schools, a historic downtown, and extensive parkland. Redfin reported a median sale price of $232,000 in its most recent monthly figure, down 1.5% year over year, with about 33 days on market, while ZIP 45373 data showed $263,750 in February 2026 (+2.9%). Months-of-inventory figures were not published in the sources cited for this update. Demand is strongest for updated homes in the $225K–$325K range, particularly those near the downtown core or in newer subdivisions with good school assignments.

Redfin's most recent monthly data put Troy's median sale price at $232,000, down 1.5% year over year, with a median price per square foot near $168 and about 33 days on market; Redfin's ZIP 45373 figure was $263,750 in February 2026 (+2.9% YoY). Resideline reported a median sold price near $310,000 across 343 tracked closings in the prior 6 months. Growth has been steady rather than dramatic — a pattern that mirrors Troy's identity as a stable, community-oriented community.

Typical Home Styles & Price Ranges

Troy's housing mix blends historic character with suburban convenience. Downtown features Victorian-era homes, early 20th-century bungalows, and brick row houses near the courthouse square. Outlying areas include mid-century ranches, 1990s-2000s subdivisions, and newer construction in established neighborhoods. With 1,350 acres of parks and a revitalized downtown, Troy appeals to buyers seeking small-town quality with real community.

Typical price range: $165,000 – $415,000
