Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Recent rolling three-month data for Southwest Salem shows some notable short-term shifts. Typical home values eased slightly month over month, while the median list price jumped, suggesting sellers are testing higher asking prices even as buyers show a bit more caution.
New listings and pending sales both declined sharply compared with the prior three-month period. Homes sold also dropped, and properties are spending less time on the market than a month earlier but more time than a year ago. Months of supply edged up in the short term, hinting at a bit more breathing room for buyers.
Looking at year-over-year trends, typical home values in Southwest Salem are up strongly, rising much faster than in the broader Salem market. Inventory has grown modestly over the past year, yet new listings and homes sold have both fallen, pointing to fewer transactions overall. The share of homes selling above list price has dipped compared with last year, and the average sale-to-list ratio has inched down, indicating slightly less aggressive bidding. Even with these shifts, the area still leans toward a seller’s market with about five months of supply, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto-recommended agent who understands how to navigate these conditions.

“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!”

If we choose to relocate again we will seek out Kevin to help us through another transition.”

“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!”

“Absolutely Amazing Realtor Highly Recommend Hannah! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hannah and our experience working with her! From the very beginning to the very end, she went above and beyond to make the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Hannah was always there when we needed her. She answered every question we had, no matter how big or small, and always took the time to make sure we fully understood everything along the way. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but having someone like Hannah by our side made such a huge difference. What stood out the most was how much she genuinely cared. She never made us feel like we were just another client or transaction. She was patient, attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and truly had our best interests at heart. She was there for us every step of the way and went above and beyond what we ever expected from a realtor. We are incredibly grateful for everything Hannah did for us and for making this experience such a positive one.

“Daniel Chin of HomeSmart Realty was professional and easy to work with from start to finish. Communication was consistently prompt whether by phone, email, or text, which made a real difference during the time-sensitive parts of the transaction. He already had a good working relationship with the seller's agent, and that smoothed out negotiations considerably. He stayed on top of every deadline and all the paperwork — nothing fell to us to track. He also gave useful, well-reasoned guidance on comps and on how to approach the inspection, which helped us make decisions with confidence rather than guesswork. I'd recommend Daniel without hesitation!”

“You couldn't ask for a better realtor. Lauren has amazed me with her knowledge, skills, and abilities. Every curve ball got smacked into a home run. My house was listed and sold in record time with multiple offers in a market that felt dead. I watched other houses in my old neighborhood get listed and sit for months. If you want someone who is solid in every facet, and truly has your best interest in mind, she is the professional for you. This was my second time doing business with Lauren, and I wouldn't use anyone else.”

“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!”

“Working with Adriana Focke and Check Point Realty was a flawless experience from start to finish. I needed someone with elite negotiation and strategy to handle an off market sale for my property in Joseph, Oregon, and Adriana delivered at the highest level. Even working outside her primary Portland metro market, her incredible communication skills, rigorous market research, proactive approach secured a clean, all-cash offer with zero stress or contingencies. As a Principal Broker, she proved she is capable of navigating and dominating any real estate market she steps into. If you want a top-tier professional who can successfully engineer a premium transaction anywhere, I highly recommend Adriana!”
