“I had a great experience working with Chun. I was buying from out of state and looked at a lot of houses before finding the right one, and he was incredibly patient throughout the entire process. He was honest when he saw potential issues, never pushed me toward a house that wasn’t a good fit, and always made time to answer my questions. I really appreciated having someone who was knowledgeable about the local market and genuinely looking out for my best interests. If you’re looking for a realtor who is responsive, experienced, and easy to work with, I’d definitely recommend Chun.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Feb 2026 - Apr 2026).
Southwest Salem’s rolling three-month snapshot through April 2026 shows some notable short-term shifts, with median list prices down sharply from the prior period even as pending sales and closed sales have both increased. Months of supply has tightened from 4.8 to 3.8 over recent months, pointing to fewer options relative to demand.
Prices over the past year have generally trended upward. Typical home values are about 7 percent higher year over year, while the median list price has risen more than 20 percent. Buyer activity is stronger too, with pending sales up roughly 25 percent from a year ago.
This elevated demand is occurring alongside more inventory, as active listings have grown nearly 20 percent year over year, giving shoppers more homes to consider. Homes are taking longer to sell than they did last spring, with median days on market rising and far fewer properties closing above list price, even though the sale-to-list ratio still hovers near 97 percent. Compared with the broader city of Salem, Southwest Salem’s typical sale price sits noticeably higher, reinforcing its seller-leaning position despite moderating conditions. Whether you are aiming to stand out as a seller or to navigate these changing dynamics as a buyer, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands this market.
