Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).

Salem’s rolling three-month data through September 2026 shows home values edging up compared with a year ago. Typical home value is about 2 percent higher year over year, even as median list prices are slightly lower than last year. Sales activity has cooled, with homes sold down nearly 9 percent and pending sales down about 6 percent compared with the same period a year earlier.

Looking at supply and pace, inventory is growing while buyers are taking a bit longer to commit. Active listings are slightly higher than a year ago, and months of supply has risen more than 40 percent year over year to about 4.2 months, signaling more options for shoppers. Homes are spending more time on the market, with median days on market up about 5 percent to 58 days.

Even with more inventory, pricing power has not completely shifted. Roughly 23 percent of recent sales closed above the asking price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is holding close to 100 percent, suggesting sellers can still achieve prices near their list. At the same time, fewer homes are selling quickly, with about 27 percent going off market within two weeks, giving buyers a bit more breathing room to evaluate options. In this mixed Salem environment, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced local agent who understands these trends and can guide the next move with confidence.



Learn more about what Salem has to offer.

Salem offers residents a welcoming, vibrant blend of culture, green spaces, strong local services, and easy access to outdoor recreation, education, and community life.

Salem offers a different pace and personality than nearby Portland or Albany. As the capital city, it blends historic neighborhoods and government anchors with a steady, locally focused feel. Downtown’s walkable grid, anchored by the Salem Public Library, small businesses, and year round community events, gives residents a sense of connection that larger metros can lack.

Outdoor access is a daily part of life here. Families gather at Riverfront City Park along the Willamette River, while runners, cyclists, and dog walkers head to Minto Brown Island Park for miles of trails and open space. Wine country and farm stands in Marion County are minutes away, adding to the region’s local food and wine culture.

Neighborhoods range from historic homes near Willamette University and the Oregon State Capitol to newer developments on the city’s edges. Buyers appreciate relative affordability compared with Portland while still accessing employers, schools, and health care. Longtime residents often stay rooted, trading up or sizing down within favorite areas such as West Salem.

With inventory and interest rates shifting regularly, timing and preparation are critical. Whether you are entering the market for the first time or planning to sell a long held home, the right local agent can help you read current conditions, price wisely, and move confidently. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with agents who understand Salem’s neighborhoods and trends today.

“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!”
