While the median price of a Salem condo was flat in Q3 and up 3% YTD through the first three quarters of the year, the story of the year to date is one of sales up 19% while supply is down by more than one-third from a year ago.

Comment
Clearly, the condo market in Salem is booming, with strong sales restricted only by shrinking supply.
Desirable location = strong demand; add shrinking supply and the outlook is for continued price increases.
