Polk County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Polk County real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Polk County is seeing more homes available, with 276 properties on the market and inventory up 8.66 percent from last month. New listings reached 109 for the month, while 93 homes went under contract, indicating steady buyer activity even as supply grows. With 3.8 months of supply and a seller’s market gauge of 30, conditions still tilt toward sellers but are becoming more balanced than a year ago.
Homes are taking longer to sell, spending a typical 119 days on the market, which is up 19 percent since last month and 75 percent year over year. About 26 percent of listings saw a price drop, showing that some sellers are adjusting expectations as buyers take more time to decide.
Prices, however, continue to edge higher, with the typical home value at $475,000, up 4.63 percent from last year and 7.65 percent in just one month, though still below the Oregon average of $507,600. The median list price is $524,950, only slightly higher than last month, and homes are selling close to asking with an average sale-to-list ratio of 0.99 and roughly 14 percent closing above list. Looking ahead to April 2026, the typical home value is projected to rise to $491,875 with inventory near 287 homes, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from having an Agent Pronto recommended agent guide their next move.

Learn more about what Polk County has to offer.
Polk County offers residents a balanced mix of small-town charm and modern opportunity, with abundant outdoor recreation, thriving communities, and easy access to urban amenities—all within a welcoming, close-knit lifestyle.
Polk County stands apart from nearby Marion County and the larger Portland metro by offering a quieter, more rural character paired with quick access to urban amenities. Communities like Dallas and Monmouth center daily life around local schools, family owned businesses, and weekend events, giving residents a strong sense of belonging.
Outdoor recreation shapes much of the local identity. Residents enjoy the wooded paths of Gentle Woods Park in Dallas, the riverfront trails at Independence Riverview Park, and the extensive network within the Luckiamute State Natural Area. In Monmouth, Western Oregon University brings cultural events, athletics, and educational opportunities that keep the area dynamic without overwhelming its small town feel.
Local services and community hubs, such as the Dallas Public Library and the City of Monmouth resources, help newcomers quickly connect. With more buyers discovering Polk County as a lower key alternative to Salem, preparation is crucial. Homes can move quickly in well located neighborhoods, and rural properties often require specialized guidance on wells, septic systems, and land use.
Whether you are timing a sale to capture current interest or planning a strategic purchase in a competitive segment, connecting with the right local agent through Agent Pronto helps both buyers and sellers move forward with confidence.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.
