“I would highly recommend Chun. I had never used a real estate agent in the Salem/Keizer area and was looking to sell my waterfront home. I did a bit of research to narrow a list of 6 local agents who had experience and success in selling 1M+ homes. I interviewed them all and landed on choosing Chun. He was already well recommended however seeing his style, approach and professionalism lead me to list my house with him. He handled the entire process with ease and it was flawless experience. I moved out of the area before listing the house, so it was important to have someone local with all of the right connections to get the house sold. Without a doubt would hire Chun again and anyone who does I’m confident will be happy with choosing him.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Inventory in Independence has tightened compared with a year ago, with active listings in this rolling three-month period down slightly while months of supply dropped to 1.6. Homes are also moving more quickly, as median days on market fell to 50, roughly in line with where they were last summer but well below many recent quarters. Contract activity shows a mixed picture, with 31 pending sales in the latest period and a modest year-over-year decline in this category.
Prices are adjusting but holding relatively steady overall. The typical home value over the last three months is about 2 percent lower than it was in the same period a year ago, and median list prices are down by a similar margin compared with last summer. Even with that softening, sellers are still achieving close to asking price, with the average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent and about one in five homes selling above list.
Looking at the past few years, the market has shifted from higher inventory and longer marketing times toward tighter supply and somewhat quicker sales. New listings in the latest rolling three-month window are slightly above last year, yet homes sold have dipped from prior peaks, suggesting buyers have more limited options to choose from. With Independence currently tilted toward sellers but showing nuanced pricing trends, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent to help them navigate this evolving market.

“I first met Josh about 5–6 years ago at an open house he was hosting, and we stayed in contact over the years even after my move to Florida and turning the property into a rental. From the very beginning, Josh was friendly, helpful, professional, and easy to work with. When it came time to sell, he helped me move quickly, communicated clearly and often, and kept me updated throughout the entire process. Most importantly, he helped me achieve all of my goals for the sale. I highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and professional realtor!”
