Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Polk County is showing a slower pace of activity with shifting inventory. Active listings in September edged up slightly from last month and are up almost 5 percent from a year ago, reaching 491 homes on the market. At the same time, pending sales and closed sales both declined year over year, with homes sold down about 18 percent.
Pricing is holding firm even as activity cools. The typical home value is up nearly 3 percent compared with last year, and the median list price has risen almost 6 percent year over year, suggesting sellers are still testing higher price points. However, buyers have more leverage, with months of supply jumping to 6.1, up sharply from a year ago and higher than Oregon’s overall 4.2 months of supply.
Homes are also taking longer to sell, with median days on market increasing to 69, up both month over month and year over year. Only about 23 percent of homes are selling above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent, indicating many deals are closing close to asking rather than well above. With Polk County currently tilted toward a buyer’s market, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers seeking value and sellers aiming to stand out with a local agent who understands these conditions.
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.

“Exactly the kind of realtor you want in your corner! Selling our home was a big decision, and we couldn't have asked for a better agent to guide us through the process than Adrianne Bonsey. What stood out most about Adrianne was that she truly LISTENED. She took the time to understand our goals, our concerns, and what mattered most to us. She offered knowledgeable advice, honest feedback, and valuable insight throughout the selling process, but ultimately respected that the decisions were ours to make. We never felt pressured or pushed in a direction we weren't comfortable with. Selling a unique rural property comes with its own set of challenges, and Adrianne approached everything with professionalism, patience, and a level head. Her communication was excellent, she was always approachable, and we genuinely felt she had our best interests at heart. There's something incredibly reassuring about working with an agent who knows her business but also understands that it's YOUR home and YOUR journey. We are so grateful for Adrianne's guidance and dedication throughout this chapter of our lives. If you're looking for a seller's agent who will listen, advocate for you, and empower you to make informed decisions, we cannot recommend her highly enough! Team Kelly from here on out!”

“Zac Thompson did an outstanding job selling our Starlight duplex. He sold it quickly, put together excellent marketing, and demonstrated strong local market knowledge throughout the process. His negotiation skills were exceptional, and when a low appraisal threatened to derail the deal, Zac stepped up and helped save it. His expertise, persistence, and ability to navigate challenges made all the difference. We highly recommend Zac to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, hardworking real estate professional who knows how to get deals across the finish line!”

“When we started the process of looking for a house, we were expecting months of work, and possibly having to make exceptions to what we wanted, maybe even the location. -We called Bradley on a Thursday, and provided him with a list of houses to view. -On that Saturday, Bradley had scheduled viewings for all of the homes we suggested, as well as a few that he added after seeing what we were looking for. He even picked some homes to add to the list which were not only similar, but better than what we had found. -By that Sunday, we were putting in an offer on one of the homes Bradley had suggested, because we loved it so much. If that was not good enough, Bradley also walked us through every step of the process, answering every (dumb) question we had, and advised us of concerns we hadn't thought about. He was patient, informative, and fast. We would reccommend him to anyone, especially if you have never done this before. He will take care of you every step of the way!”
