The typical home value in Marion County is projected to be $453,550 for the month of February. January’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the county to be $449,000—up 5.15% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, state-level data pegged home values at $488,900 in Oregon for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $484,700 in February.
Marion County had 275 new listings and 268 listings that went under contract in January, decreasing the area’s total available inventory to 858—down 0.81% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further decreased in February.
Of those 858 active listings, 27.62% reduced their price in the month of January. The median listing price for homes in Marion County fell 0.44% from December to January, bringing the current median listing price to $455,000. Based on projected data for February, listing prices may continue to fall.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract fell year-over-year. In January 2026, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 72 days, compared to 79 days in January 2025. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be steady. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this February.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
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.

“By the time we started working with Ian, my wife and I had been actively making offers on homes for five months with another agent.
