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

Inventory in Salem’s rolling three-month window shows a relatively small pool of options, with 12 active listings and 6 new listings coming to market. Compared with a year ago, active listings are down while new listings have also pulled back, even as closed sales and pending contracts have risen from very low levels.

Pricing has moved downward in this period, with the typical home value and median list price both lower than a year earlier. Homes are spending more time on the market than they did last summer, with the median days on market now 84, yet the months of supply figure around 7 still sits within a seller-leaning environment by the market gauge.

Another notable shift is that no recent sales have closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged slightly lower year over year. With a modest number of properties trading hands and pricing adjusting, local conditions can feel different from one segment of the market to another, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these Salem trends.
