Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Salem’s rolling three-month snapshot through September 2026 shows a market with plenty of options but relatively light contract activity. Active listings are up more than 30 percent year over year to 13, while homes sold have dropped roughly 71 percent and pending sales are down nearly 60 percent, contributing to a strong buyer’s market reading with 12.9 months of supply.
Pricing has moved upward even as sales have slowed. Typical home values over the period are about 10 percent higher than a year ago and the median list price is up around 16 percent year over year, yet the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped by more than 4 percentage points, to about 93 percent, and no recent sales have closed above list price.
Time on market and listing activity point to shifting expectations on both sides of the table. Median days on market in this rolling three-month view have risen compared with a year earlier, while new listings have surged more than threefold year over year, giving buyers more leverage and sellers more competition. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers looking to navigate these conditions and sellers aiming to price strategically with an experienced local real estate agent in Salem.

Amy Stockberger Real Estate
“I worked with Amy several years ago on the sale of my home and purchase of a new home and she was fantastic. We were so impressed with her that when my father passed away and my mother was looking to downsize, there was no question that we would return to Amy for assistance. She was incredibly kind and supportive during a difficult time. We fully trusted her knowledge and ideas. We quickly found the perfect place and Amy was instrumental in helping us get a great deal. In addition she was able to get my mother’s home sold within 1 day. She is kind, wonderful to work with, made things fun, and is generally concerned about the welfare of her clients. We would recommend her to anyone. We love Amy!!”

She would jump to show or talk about things at ANY time. She is definitely a go-to person. Very reliable.”

“I cannot say enough good things about John! My significant other and I met John about a year and a half before we had any plans of selling our two properties with the plan of eventually buying a house together. John came over did a market analysis of my significant others home and gave us some pointers on where to put our money to improve minor issue, at the time we were not selling and John went above and beyond to help us with potentially nothing to gain. Once we were finally ready to put the home on the market we did not hesitate to use John. He was kind and very knowledgeable about the market, every step of the way John rocked it! He sold our property within record time and cared about us as human beings. 6 months later we started looking occasionally at houses coming on the market, we were doing minor repairs on our second house to get it ready to eventually list. At this time “we were not looking to buy” (let’s be honest we were but didn’t know it ourselves?) my significant other and I had multiple different ideas on the perfect house making it very difficult to pin point what we would actually buy. We would find a property we were interested in and at a moment’s notice John would get us in. John could of put pressure on us multiple times to buy houses that were not right for us but John didn’t, he cared about us and wanted us to buy the house that fit our direct needs and long term goals. John didn’t want us to settle for something and regret it later, John must have walked us through a ton of houses and did so with a smile on his face, when it came time to buy John was on it and we got our dream home. After buying we still had our second property to list and sell John again was great he got it on the market in record time seeing as we were really not fully prepared to list it and it sold within 24hours of hitting the market after the fact we started doing renovations on our new home (it had an unfinished basement) John was very interested in our progress and offered to come out and do an analysis once our unfinished level was completed so we could see the benefits of the remodel we were doing, we were again impressed with John, he cares about us and is excited about what we are doing in our home. Thank you so much John for everything you do you have earned a customer for life with us!”
