Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Marion County real estate market. *
May 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Inventory in Marion County has expanded, with active listings up more than 12 percent from last month and over 6 percent year over year, while months of supply has climbed to 3.9 and now sits slightly above the Oregon-wide 3.8 months. Contract activity is also firming, as new listings jumped about 35 percent month over month and pending sales rose nearly 14 percent, even though closed sales dipped slightly from April and are running about 5 percent below last year.
Pricing is showing modest movement rather than big swings, with the typical home value around $454,000 and essentially flat compared with a year ago, while the median list price is up just over 3 percent year over year. Homes are generally selling very close to asking, as the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent and nearly a quarter of recent sales closed above list price despite that share running lower than it did a year earlier.
Days on market have shortened from April to May, falling from 56 to 51 days, yet homes are still taking longer to sell than they did in much of the past year. With more options for buyers, steady pricing, and a seller’s market reading on the local gauge, conditions call for solid guidance on both sides of the table, and Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with a Marion County agent who understands these shifts.
Marion County offers residents a unique blend of small-town charm, abundant outdoor recreation, active communities and events, accessible services, and a steady, growing economy.
Marion County stretches from the state capital in Salem to fertile farmland, small towns, and forested foothills, offering a practical mix of city convenience and rural space. Commuters appreciate direct access to I‑5, reach to Portland, and local service from the Cherriots transit system that connects neighborhoods, schools, and major employers.
Everyday needs are straightforward here. Families rely on the Salem-Keizer Public Schools, while shoppers head to Keizer Station and downtown Salem boutiques. Outdoor time comes easy at Minto-Brown Island Park along the Willamette River, the trails and playgrounds at Riverfront Park, or hikes into the eastern part of the county near Silverton and the waterfalls at Silver Falls State Park.
Food and culture keep evenings full, from local produce at the Salem Saturday Market to performances at the Elsinore Theatre and exhibits at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. Smaller communities like Woodburn and Stayton offer quieter streets with easy reach to these amenities.
Housing options run from historic homes near West Salem to new subdivisions and acreage properties. A knowledgeable local agent can help you compare school zones, commute times, and neighborhood services, reducing stress at every step. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with the right Marion County expert to guide that process.

“My experience with Arica was in one word- phenomenal! After a very difficult time selling my condo in Los Angeles, I was amazed how quickly Arica was able to get me in into my dream home in Cottage Grove. She completely understood me and my particular needs, and gave me excellent advice and guidance through the process. So responsive and genuinely caring, I am truly lucky to have had Arica on my side.”
“Selling your home can be so stressful, so much you don't know or understand about the process. Thankfully, I chose Julie Ann as my realtor! Every time I didn't understand what was going on or coming next in the process, Julie Ann explained everything in a clear, concise way. Her calm, kind demeanor always put me at ease, reassuring me it would all be okay, and it was!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Working with Alysa over the past year was one of the best experiences we could have hoped for during what is often a stressful process. From day one, she was knowledgeable, honest, and incredibly supportive. She took the time to explain the market, answer every question, and help us make informed decisions every step of the way. She guided us through preparing, listing, and selling our home. Even when we paused during the holidays, she stayed in touch, came back with a fresh strategy, and helped us successfully achieve our goal. There are many realtors out there, but what truly sets them apart is how they treat people. Alysa advocated for us like family. She was always available, responsive, willing to travel, and never stopped working on our behalf. She also helped us find and purchase our new home, making the entire journey feel manageable and supported. Her professionalism, kindness, generosity, and dedication are exceptional. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
