- 03/12/10 03:23 PM
"Get $8,000 tax credit" scream the real estate sign riders...just in case you weren't aware that it was out there. The count down has been so apparent this past month as the Salem Oregon real estate market started early. Typically I tell clients that the market starts to heat up in April, but agents were running amok this month as things got busy much earlier than usual.

In fact my 8 year old only-eating-macaroni-and-cheese son told me I was a great cook when I added Canadian bacon to the homemade mac and cheese.
