“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Steve Goodman and the experience we’ve had working with him over the past 10 years. Steve was my realtor when I purchased my very first condo, and 10 years later, he was right there with us as we sold that condo and purchased what we hope will be our forever home. Having the opportunity to work with the same realtor through such an important chapter of our lives speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have in him. What sets Steve apart is that he genuinely puts his clients’ best interests first. He is never pushy or focused on simply making a sale. Instead, he takes the time to listen, answer every question, offer honest advice, and make sure you feel comfortable with every decision. He is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Marion are moving at a steady pace in this rolling three-month view through July 2026. Active listings are roughly flat compared with a year ago, while new listings are up by double digits year over year, giving buyers a bit more to choose from as 86 homes came to market and 68 went under contract.
Pricing is showing moderate upward pressure over the longer term, even as short-term swings occur. The typical home value is slightly higher than a year ago, while the median list price has climbed much more sharply year over year, suggesting sellers are testing higher asking prices even as the average sale-to-list ratio holds near 98 percent.
Market speed data point to a still-firm seller position, but with some breathing room for buyers. Homes are taking a median of 51 days to sell in this period and months of supply has risen more than 20 percent year over year to 3.6, yet nearly one-third of sales close above list price. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate shifting inventory and pricing or a seller aiming to position your home effectively, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local Marion agent who understands these trends.

When we decided to put the house on the market, they were extremely professional And answered all our questions. The photographer came out promptly, and took amazing pictures of the property. It was listed the next day,and our house sold in less than a week. Andrew McCatty was our broker. He could not have been more knowledgeable or professional.

She was very efficient in setting up houses for us to tour, within and without our pricing perameters. She "heard us" in regard to the "non-negotiables" we had for a house for which we were looking. She printed out pertinent infomration on each place for us. We were in a time-crunch, as we had come from out of state to search for a place to live. She was able to help us find a very nice new home. We are very thankful to her for her understanding and expertise in real estate and in the current housing market.”
