Here's your honest June 2026 market snapshot for the Willamette Valley.
The numbers tell the real story:
Median home price in Salem: ~$440K - relatively flat compared to last year. No dramatic swings in either direction.
Average days on market: 66-85 days depending on area - up from about 50 days a year ago. Homes are sitting longer than they were, and buyers have more room to breathe.
30-year mortgage rate: 6.48% (Freddie Mac, June 4) - down from 6.85% this time last year. Not cheap, but trending in the right direction.
What this means:
- It's a more balanced market than we've had in a while - not the frenzy of a couple years ago
- Buyers in Keizer, Monmouth, Dallas, Independence, and Turner are finding more options
- Sellers who price correctly and present well are still getting it done - overpriced listings are the ones collecting dust
- McMinnville continues to attract buyers priced out of Salem proper
Whether you're buying or selling, the data matters more than the headlines. I'm happy to walk you through what the numbers look like for your specific situation.
