Salem Square is a gated, deed-restricted community of 270 homes built between 1988 and 2000, so what drives price here is less about location novelty and more about condition and updates. With a median living area around 1,659 square feet and a median price of $381,500, the spread comes down to how a given home has been maintained and modernized since the 1990s. There is no range data to quote, but expect updated interiors to command a premium over original-condition units.
The posture is seller-leaning on paper — 2.2 months of supply and only 3 active listings — but the median home is sitting about 91 days before it sells, and prices are down 4.5% year over year. That tension matters: thin inventory supports sellers, yet the long days-on-market and softening prices tell buyers there is room to be patient and negotiate. Price and present well and you can move; overreach and you will sit.
Figures in this note are as of October 26, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The Salem Square buying strategy.
If we were buying in Salem Square today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Come strong and clean. Homes here move, so lead with your best terms and financing ready rather than a low anchor.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Salem Square.
A gated amenity community with low turnover
The amenity package is substantial for a community this size: a pool, tennis and basketball courts, a playground, a park, and owned recreation facilities, all behind a gate with no guard. Reclaimed-water irrigation and HOA-handled maintenance are reported across listings. Buyer approval is required, so budget time for the association's process rather than assuming a quick close. Verify current access, fees, and rules directly with the HOA.
With roughly 85% of homes held as homestead and only 3 listings active against 270 homes, this is a tightly held community where units do not come up often. That scarcity cuts both ways — it supports values when demand shows up, but it also means your options at any given moment are narrow, and the right floor plan may require waiting.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Salem Square. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
