MARKET RANT
Although the weather is getting colder in our fair city, it looks like out housing market is staying warm. Nearing the end of November we have seen numbers strengthen over the past few weeks, which is usually not the norm for this time of year. Still lots of last minute shoppers out there, with viewings and inquiries frequenting listed homes. Lots of last minute deals as we close the books on the 2013 market year, and quite a few value priced properties currently for sale that ended up "chasing the ace" this season, and now well below what was originally presented. Still, lots of inventory out there on the market, and it doesn't seem to be flying off the shelves anytime soon whether it be to cancellations, expiries or sales. Let's keep the momentum going shall we? Thanks for stopping by!


My name is Riley, I am a 5 year old Yorkie mix who came in to rescue at Marley's Hope with my big brother Max-a-roni. As you know, Max my BFF was adopted to a loving home and hit the jackpot with my vet for his new momma! I am hoping that I will find someone who will care for me and love me for all my life too! I have a few requirements of my humans, so please click on picture for more info

This fella is currently being cared for by Marley's Hope All Breed Dog Rescue. Details about this beauty and others ready for a "furever"  home, including how to adopt, other dogs for adoption, and ways to donate, can be found by clicking the picture :)  Thank you for your consideration!
