Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Southwest Salem real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Southwest Salem’s housing numbers in February 2026 showed some notable month-to-month adjustments, with the typical home value edging down 5.82% to about $550,000 even as the median list price climbed 7.68% to roughly $699,900. Homes also took longer to move, as median days on market rose to 75, a 22.95% increase from the prior month, while inventory held steady at 45 active listings.
Compared with a year ago, conditions illustrate a mixed picture. Typical home values are up 1.29% year over year. Buyers now see 73.08% more homes for sale than last year, with 45 listings on the market. At the same time, new listings are up 10.0%, while pending sales are down 26.19%, suggesting more options but slower deal-making.
Southwest Salem sits at a higher price point than the broader Salem city area, where the typical home value is around $425,000 compared with $550,000 locally. Looking ahead to March 2026, projections point to a typical home value of about $533,000 and a median list price near $724,850, with inventory expected to hold around 45 homes. Recent sales have been close to asking prices, with an average sale-to-list ratio of 0.9876 and about 11.54% of homes selling above list. With the area still labeled a seller's market, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these trends and can guide their next move.
