Salem Is MA's Halloween Hub. Want To Live There? Take A Peek Into The Home Market

SALEM, MA — It'll feel a little more like summer than fall in the state's Halloween hub of Salem this weekend.

With temperatures poised to break records and touch the 80s, city officials are expected upwards of 100,000 visitors to Salem on Saturday alone, with Halloween die-hards making the warmer-than-usual trek to the city.

For visitors, the high temperatures allow a more comfortable outing over the weekend before Halloween. But it also means heightened parking ticket enforcement and punishment, plus a litany of logistical issues for both travelers and officials.

So it raises the question: If traveling to Salem in October is your jam, why not consider living there year-round to avoid the logistical nightmare?

Here's a peek into the Salem home market:
