One of the largest listing deposits of the year this week, which has been increasing week over week up to this point. Lots of other serious activity going on at the moment as well, and some that doesn't seem to match up with the current state of affairs. Spring market brings higher than average product addition, sales, and lots of offers, which is all signs of a healthy market. The expectation is that you wouldn't expect to see bulk price reductions or increased days on market, but despite the activity, these particular stats remain tepid at best. Still, values remain steady, absorption rate solid, and overall, the market is buzzing. Last few weeks have been a bit quiet, but this week things have been kicked into high gear! That is the ebb and flow of the market it seems. If this week is an indicator of things to come, then the futures looks bright! Thanks for stopping by! The Weekly Adogtable! Meet Vinny!

Marginal gains, solid sales numbers, increasing inventory, things you would expect to see as we approach the mid point of May. Sales made a slight comeback this week, as well as inventory across the board. All product types experienced increase, with single family home numbers jumping the most. Values remain steady as well, with a strong showing this week compared to the last few weeks, and the general annual increase overall as expected. Average days on market reported down this week compared to the last few weeks, and down from this time last year as well. Overall, it's an "ebb and flow" type of market; as things decide to recess a bit, add a little time and they surge right back again. I think we are just at the turn around point currently, but it might be too early to tell. Let's see what next week brings, and see where it goes from there. You'll have to stay tuned to find out! Thanks for stopping by! The Weekly Adogtable! Amelia is a young, outgoing gal who still has a lot of puppy left in her! She is always ready for an adventure and loves to play with toys. It doesn't take long for her to warm up to new people. She can be quite the cuddler too once she gets to know you! Because she is still a puppy at heart, Amelia has some special requirements. She gets very excited and can be a little jumpy when she greets you, so she needs a family that can help her with her obedience training. This gal can JUMP so she cannot be left alone in a backyard unless the fencing is high enough. She gets along with large dogs but NO small dogs, cats or other small animals. Amelia is currently in heat and will have to return for her spay in roughly 6 weeks. Amelia's ideal home would be: - With an active family - With children over the age of 10 - Without any small animals - No apartments Obedience training is mandatory. Proof of registration in an obedience class will need to be provided upon approval.

Little bit backwards in this weeks addition of the market rant! Usually, this time of year brings piles of new listings and additions to the inventory level, but this week saw quite the opposite. Products across the board reduced in numbers, with vacant lots taking the most significant hit. In other news, things are still looking good out there! The average time listings are spending on the market is down, values are holding steady, and the absorption rate continues to rocket to the bottom. Listings that accepted offers this week reported below average for this time of year, which makes this the third week in a row that certain market factors have reported lacklustre. Luckily, the late winter market was hot, and the momentum carried into Spring, so we are still enjoying market impact from that activity. We are bound to have a few questionable weeks, it just comes at a time that is usually exploding with activity. For now, it remains tepid. Stay tuned to see if the market continues to heat up! Thanks for stopping by! The Weekly Adogtable!
Echo arrived at our shelter back in January at a mere 68lbs! We were blessed to have many homes lined up for this cutie but - as it turns out - we learned that Echo is very particular about her housemates and presented several health concerns that needed to be addressed. With the right treatment, Echo began to thrive. Her personality blossomed! She begs staff for pets and belly rubs and frequently goes out for walks with volunteers - greeting them with her gentle, playful nature. After months of hard work getting her healthy (+20lbs!!!), it is time to find a family who will love and care for her as much as we do! Experience with large breed dogs is an asset; however, these are her must-have adoption requirements: - No other animals in the home - Children must be over the age of 10 - Companionship throughout the day: max. 4hrs alone Aside from gobbling 6-8 cups of food per day, owners should be prepared to spend approximately $250/month on medications to keep this gal rolling: - Digestive Enzymes added to each meal - Vetmedin pills twice daily As Echo struggled to gain weight, she was diagnosed with Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI). Her pancreas doesn't produce digestive enzymes so, in order to digest and absorb nutrients, digestive enzymes must be added to each meal. When laboured breathing was noted at one of her check-ups, a cardiac ultrasound showed this lady suffers from Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM). In DCM, parts of the heart become enlarged and weaker at pumping blood throughout the body. Her heart is essentially working at 49% capacity. Vetmedin increases the strength of the heart and dilates blood vessels, allowing more oxygenated blood to leave the heart and reach her tissues. Please note that Echo's heart condition puts her at greater risk for a Spay procedure. Therefore, she will be adopted intact, with her best interest in mind, and a non-breeding agreement must be signed. Owners should expect and understand she will be going through heat cycles. Compatible applicants will be interviewed by an HBCP representative. Please note a home visit may be requested. We are quite a small team, so please refrain from calling about this pup. Applications can be submitted at http://citypound.ca/adoption-application/ and will be closed once several great candidates have applied. This "cuddly companion" is available through Homeward Bound City Pound, a non profit rescue organization from Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Hello everyone, and thank you for tuning into the blog! No huge gains in inventory again this week, and single family homes actually reduced in rank, bucking the annual Spring gain trend. Values stayed healthy, and the average days spent on market reported...well...averagely. Big news of the week was the four week cut that the absorption rate took, which is really significant. We have been holding steady around the thirty week mark for a few months now, but the combination of lower weekly listing additions and higher sales has helped the absorption rate shed a few pounds. Continued positive news for Sellers, and continued frustrating news for Buyers. Although, it feels like a market reluctance in the air right now, like the deep breath before a forceful push. We've held this breath for a couple weeks now, so maybe the exhale will be the market equivalent to the blustery day we had today. You will have to check back to see! Thanks for stopping by!

So how are we doing so far this Spring? Well, listings have been hesitant to come to market (probably weather and timing related), and the first few weeks has seen an unusual ebb and flow of buyer activity, but all is well!. Don't get me wrong, buyers are still out in full force, but the Spring so far has seen active voids and tired spots for some reason unlike the end of the Winter, which was constantly buzzing right up to the end. In any case, we are still trucking right along! Well priced homes in desirable areas are still seeing multiple offer situations and fast sales, and overall, sellers are still enjoying the new balanced market. Buyers on the other hand are still getting a bit frustrated, but with the peak of inventory about to hit, there has been bit of relief as the stock choices continue to rise. Still lots of story left in the Spring market, so make sure to check in ofter to stay on top of things! Thanks for stopping by! The Weekly Adogtable! Meet KIRA.

Unlike the weather, the market continues to heat up as we approach the midway point of April. The stats this week look quite comparable to this time last year, but there are still important differences that separate the two, even if marginal. The inventory and absorption rate are much lower, values are up across the board, and the average days on market are trending down as well. All signs of a healthy, balanced market. Of course, we do have week to week fluctuations like how many listings come to market, weekly sales, price changes etc, but these contribute to the overall market picture and add or subtract their impact accordingly. For now, buyers are still out in full force (just look at the listings that went pending this week), and there is no indication that they will be slowing down anytime soon!

Activity, it seems, is down across the board. Not only compared to last year at this time, but even the slower months of this year. Listings are starting their march to market, but there seems to be less active buyers over the last couple of weeks. Of course, we have had some pretty poor weather, but it feels like there is something else at foot causing this lull. Inventory remains lower than last year this time, but the slow market blues has caused a very quick addition of two weeks to the absorption rate. Hopefully this is just the continuation of the calm before the storm, if not, it will certainly be interesting to see what develops over the next few weeks. Stay tuned to the blog to stay informed!

Not sure if the weather or the holidays have been impacting the market activity much, but there is a sense of "calm before the storm" out there right now. Although the late Winter market performed well, there has been talks of whether that activity was supposed to happen in the Spring now that things seemed to have tapered off a bit. The stats are still performing well however, you just can't get a true sense of the market unless you are immersed in it. New listings are down a bit this week, likely to the weather and approaching holiday weekend, but sales still performed well, including property that received and accepted offers. The end of the Easter weekend usually marks the unofficial start to the Spring market, so I think we will chalk up the last few weeks to "preparation", in what hopes to be another solid market season. Stay tuned to stay on top of things, and thanks for stopping by!  Meet Loki! The Weekly Adogtable! Loki is a young, handsome boy searching for a new home. This spunky boy has a ton of energy and he can't wait to release it with his new family! He is quite mouthy and jumpy, so he'll need some guidance on how to behave like a true pup but with some training this should take no time as he's super smart. Loki does have separation anxiety, and as a result, has exhibited destructive behaviours. Potential adopters will need to be prepared for a high energy dog, who would be happiest to have someone at home with him for most of the day. Loki would be best suited in a home: -Could live with a very tolerant dog, as Loki is very rambunctious when meeting other dogs. -Absolutely no cats. -A home that could continue crate training to keep Loki safe from his separation anxiety. -Children over the age of 12. -Highly active (runs, 2+ walks a day, hikes, dog sport). -Proof of registration in obedience classes is required at the time of adoption.
