Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Year-over-year, Cottage Grove’s rolling three-month data shows modest price growth and stronger demand. Typical home values are up about 4% from a year ago, while the share of homes selling above list has also increased, signaling buyers are bidding more aggressively.
In the latest rolling period ending May 2026, homes typically sold for around $410,000 with a median list price just above that level. Inventory has expanded compared with last year, with active listings up by double digits, yet the market is still labeled a seller’s market and months of supply remains low at about 2.2 months.
Homes are also moving more quickly than a year ago, with the median days on market down sharply to under a month and more than half of properties going off-market within two weeks. With closed sales and pending contracts both higher than last year, both buyers and sellers in Cottage Grove can benefit from connecting with an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent to navigate pricing, timing, and negotiation in this fast-moving environment.
