Salem, Oregon - Real Estate
Salem is the capital city of Oregon, and county seat of Marion County in that state. It has a population of about 142,940, according to a 2003 estimate.
Real estate prices in the area have increased significantly in the past few years, with growth of 28.3% in 2005 alone. The median cost of a home, however, is still somewhat shy of the national average, at $194,100.
This puts Salem within reach of most well established buyers, but can still be restrictive to first time homeowners and those with limited incomes. It is possible, however, for anyone to find an attractive bargain in the area by scouting out foreclosed properties and highly motivated sellers.
