I'm a bit behind on my real estate market reports. It happens... So what's the news this month? Did we start of the year with a bang or bust? The good news...median home price was down (Yep...that's good news in these parts as home prices need to be more in line with incomes) The good news…S...

The sound of birds chirping...a large canopy overhead...nestled in the woods, you feel like you should grab some bread crumbs just in case you need to leave a trail. Then you start looking at the price of wooded land in the Salem Oregon area and realize that you can't afford that. Urban growth ...
