Our August 2025 For Sale List is now open!
To be considered, all purchase applications must be submitted by email, mail, or in-person and received no later than 2:00 PM on Tuesday, August 26, 2025 (the last Tuesday of the month).
Per Land Bank policy, all prospective buyers are required to physically view properties before submitting a purchase offer. To schedule a showing, please book an appointment below.
Please note: What we now call the August Sales List was previously referred to as the September Sales Cycle. We’ve updated this naming to reflect when the list is posted and when applications are due, as the old system often caused confusion. This change is part of our ongoing effort to improve the application experience for all interested buyers.
Please Note: Eligible vacant lots for the Lots for Less Program are accepted on a rolling basis. For a list of eligible Lots for Less properties and additional eligibility requirements, please visit www.albanycountylandbank.org/lotsforless — Currently, there are no eligible lots participating in this program.
We encourage applicants to find a realtor who is able to assist them in accessing properties outside our availability. Please note, the submission of your application will prompt it to move forward through our process within 90 days.
