Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Feb 2026 - Apr 2026).
In Salem, the rolling three-month view through April 2026 shows inventory expanding while buyer activity stays solid. Active listings are up more than 11% year over year to about 200 homes, and pending sales have climbed roughly 10%, indicating that more properties are both coming to market and going under contract.
Pricing is adjusting to these shifts. The typical home value is up only about 1% from a year ago, and the median list price has dipped more than 3% year over year, suggesting sellers are moderating their expectations as choices increase for buyers.
Market pace has also changed noticeably. Months of supply has risen to about 2.8, more than 70% higher than a year ago, and the share of homes selling above list has fallen to around 35%, down more than 25% year over year, which points to less intense bidding than in prior periods, even though the sale-to-list ratio still hovers near 100%. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these evolving conditions can use Agent Pronto to connect with a Salem real estate agent who understands the latest trends.

“Used Jill to purchase this property in 2023 and sell in 2026. Both instances Jill coordinated well, clearly outlined the steps involved and was communicative start to finish. Helped advise on risks and benefits, resulting in a one-and-done round of offers and ultimate sale. Proceeds were in line with her original estimate range. Her work on this was much appreciated.”
“Craig Celli was terrific from the very start and through to the very end of the transaction. When he came to view the property for the first time, he demonstrated knowledge, experience, and was friendly and communicative. I knew right after our meeting that he was the broker I would choose to market and sell the property. He also was very hands-on in preparing the home for sale - he worked on things himself and he personally knew and introduced me to a number of people who assisted in the work associated with preparing the home for sale (cleaners, electricians, etc.). All of the people he referred worked out perfectly. I was selling this property as a fiduciary so was not located in the area - Craig took on the responsibility of being my "boots on the ground" throughout the marketing and pre-sale. In short, I could not have asked for a better professional to market and sell this property. I would recommend him to anyone without reservation.”

“Sarah Rodewald was excellent, especially with being a first time home buyer. She was friendly and responsive when I had questions or concerns. Sarah was a strong advocate for me during negotiations to secure a fair price and credits towards closing. I would highly recommend Sarah for anyone looking for a dedicated expert agent.”

“November, 2025 We had a very positive experience working with Kathy Tully. From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us achieve our goals. Her understanding of the local market was helpful, and she provided clear guidance at every step of the process. What stood out most was her professionalism and communication. She answered every question promptly, explained each part of the transaction in a way that was easy to understand, and always made us feel like a priority. Whether it was scheduling showings, handling negotiations, or coordinating details behind the scenes, Kathy went above and beyond to make the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We are pleased with the results and highly recommend Kathy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Ken & Suzanne Malach”

“Rosa stepped in when we were not getting anywhere in finding a suits property. Within 72 hours Rosa had several viewings booked and we had 2 offers in place. Ultimately she brokered a great deal on the perfect place to purchase. She continued to work with us throughout the process and closing. She even helped communicate with the previous agents when we needed something fixing. She is an excellent agent and great ambassador for Real Satisfied.”
“Great real estate experience with Charlotte. I recently had the pleasure of working with Charlotte as my realtor, and I cannot express how grateful I am for her outstanding service throughout the entire home buying process. From our initial meeting to the closing day, Charlotte demonstrated a level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication that greatly met my expectations. One of Charlotte's standout qualities is her extensive knowledge of the local real estate market. She took the time to understand my preferences and priorities, providing valuable insights into neighborhoods, property values, and future market trends. Her expertise not only streamlined the decision-making process but also ensured that I made informed choices.”
“Shawn and Dee were amazing. They made the process very easy and were always available for questions or guidance.”
“I can't thank John Dean enough for handing the sale of my home. John's knowledge of the industry and the area was exceptional. He kept me informed of all the issues and guided me with decisions that had to be made. He offered to make several trips to the house to meet and coordinate the inspections and other people that assisted me with the move. Not being available to make it to the property for various reasons being the distance and caring for a disabled husband, John saved me from having to be there. John was there to manage everything for me. If you need a professional agent, look no further than John Dean.”
“He was honest enough to direct us away from one of the homes that we looked at because of the horrible basement there. He also showed us at least 5+ homes before we settled on the one we're living in now.”
“Chris Cassidy comes across as a very honest, and approachable person. Chris was involve in selling a 2 family for me , which was caught up in the Columbia Gas crisis which occurred shortly after he listed it. The Columbia gas problem affect homes in a huge area.The property for a few months was essential not able to be sold because of the Columbia Gas issue. During this time Chris did his best to show, and the sell the property. Eventual after Columbia Gas finally fixed all the gas lines that were affected Chris was then able to find the buyer for this property. Took months, but Chris never gave up, or showed any disinterest. I plan to work with him in the near future.”
“I was recommended by a friend to call Kerry Lapiana with Prestige Homes. I am so glad I did. Kerry went up and beyond from the beginning until the end. She was always available with any questions I had and she made the offer process so easy. It didn't end there. She even took time after I closed to ask me how it was going if I needed anything additional. She went up and beyond every step of the way. I would highly recommend Kerry Lapiana and Prestige Homes to friends, family and colleagues.”
