Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Recent rolling three-month data for Southwest Salem shows a mixed but active market. Typical home values dipped slightly month over month, while the median list price held almost flat and active listings edged down, pointing to modest tightening on the supply side.
Homes sold slipped only a bit from the prior three-month period, yet pending sales climbed, indicating more deals moving toward closing. Days on market shortened compared with the previous period, and the share of homes selling above list price ticked up. These shifts suggest buyers are moving more decisively when they find the right property.
Looking at year-over-year patterns, prices are roughly holding steady, but inventory has grown and months of supply is higher, giving buyers somewhat more choice than a year ago. At the same time, pending sales are up sharply over last year and Southwest Salem’s typical home value sits well above the broader Salem median, underscoring this area’s relative strength. A larger portion of homes is selling above list compared with a year ago, signaling sellers still have meaningful leverage. With these crosscurrents between pricing power and increased selection, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent who understands Southwest Salem’s nuances.

“Working with Josh was an incredible experience from start to finish. As first-time homebuyers Josh made the entire process feel simple, stress-free, and exciting. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and helped us find a home that fits our needs today and our future needs. Thanks to Josh, we were able to secure our home on our very first offer. He navigated the negotiation wonderfully and made us feel secured and informed at every step. His communication was great, his knowledge of the area was top notch, and his commitment to helping us find the right home truly fullfilled our expectations. We were so happy with our experience and would recommend Josh to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to make the experience a positive one. Thank you, Josh, for helping us find our perfect home!”

“Jordan with McKillion Real Estate Group was absolutely fantastic! Professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable about the Portland area real estate market. We were trying to find the ideal home for retirement and came from out of state several times to look at houses. Jordan listened to what we wanted, was patient with each and every request, and found creative solutions when we hit problems or obstacles. On top of all that, he was friendly and easy to get along with. He went above and beyond, even helping us with some issues after closing. I can't recommend him highly enough - more than 5 stars!”
