Good Mexican food is hard to find on the North Shore, No Longer! The Howling Wolf Taqueria located across Derby Street from the Central Fire Station is a needed and great addition to Salem's growing selection of "to-die-for" restaurants. This amazing eatery has an upbeat atmosphere with lots of bright colors, high ceilings, paintings, great music and friendly service.
It's a perfect Mexican South West style taqueria with no tablecloths, self service, and great prices. A Carne Deshebrada Burrito (shredded beef in a spicy tomato sauce) comes with rice, beans, cheese and a choice of salsas all for only $6.75 and that price certainly should leave room in your budget for one of their great white sangrias. The Green Chile Chicken Stew also for $6.75 is a huge bowl-full perfect to take the chill off a cool evening and warm your belly, click here to check out their delicious menu.
The open space has a small full service bar at one end great for socializing and grabbing a beer or glass of wine with friends. At the other end of the room is where all the great food is prepared and served, in the middle just pull up a chair at a table with your meal and refreshment and you are on your way to a wonderful Mexican South West style experience.
They are open daily until 11:00pm except Sundays when they are open until 10:00pm

I've practiced as a Broker and Residential Real Estate Appraiser in the Boston & NorthShore market area for way over 25 years. By doing so I've learned lots and lots of the great benefits each of the City's and Towns in the metro Boston area offer that some of their residents may not even know of, like the owners of a lovely home in Dorchester that I appraised for a refinance mortgage.
The home has dramatic rooftop views to the South out over the community and out over Quincy Bay. The owners purchased this place a few years ago when both their income and the mortgage interest rates were higher. With great pride the owner showed the property to me and informed me how tight their budget was and how the mortgage and real estate taxes were strapping them now. He said the lower interest rate on the new mortgage would help their financial situation but they still need to find ways to save more money.
Upon hearing his lament over the cost of his home I asked if he was taking advantage of the City of Boston's Real Estate Tax Residential Exemption, to which he looked at me in a puzzled way and asked "what is that?"
Every year since 1983 the City of Boston has provided a residential real estate tax exemption to residential properties that are used as the principal residence of the owner. In many cases new owners need to apply for this exemption, which he didn't know about to do. In 2010 owners who qualified received a credit of $1,486.07 off the total real estate tax bill.
It sounds and looks like the owner whose home I appraised will qualify. He was ecstatic when I told him about how much he could be saving. I'm sure I have a new friend for life and it really made me feel like I had just won the Jack Pot by helping someone out with a little bit of my knowledge about his community.

My observations are food for thought and discussion. Did the end of the home buyer tax credit have an effect on the Salem condominium market? Where is the Salem home market trending? Time will tell.
