Inventory took a pummelling this week, which fell the stat to almost half of what was on the market at this time last year. Reductions in all tracked products across the board this week, but the status difference is likely due to the surge of properties that received and accepted offers this week, almost 300, which is 100 more products under agreement in a single week from this time last year as well. The feeling is that there are a lot of folks still trying to get into a place period, but there is also several of said buyer pool that would like to settle in before the school year kicks off. Since the Spring market was delayed this year due to the pandemic, it has caused a time delay in the market season as well, so this still feels very much like a vibrant Spring market. In fact, we hit another record this week with a first time event! For the first time since tracking these stats, the absorption rate has hit an all time low of a measly 7 weeks. So strange to say that since I reported there was a record in the same category a short 5 years ago, but it was the highest absorption rate ever reported! Crazy to think how different these two market are and the unique challenges that both possess. The big question here is if Atlantic Canada is now as susceptible to the boom/bust markets of those seen in the larger metropolitan cities like Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary etc, or is the mentality to hold fast regardless of how out of hand things may get? I can't help but think that some of these sale prices will burn some folks if the market turns, but desperate times call for desperate measures, and it seems there are more buyers willing to do whatever it takes to lock down a property regardless of resale or neighbourhood value factors. Very challenging landscape out there at the moment, be sure to stay tuned to the blog to keep informed! Thanks for stopping by, and atay safe out there! The Weekly Adogtable! Hi everyone! My name is Lola and I am a 1 year old blue heeler/border collie mix weighing around 35lbs. I came all the way from Calgary 2 weeks ago and after settling into my foster home I am ready for my next step! I am currently living with cats and we all get along well. I was cautious at first but they all seem nice! I also live with a german shepherd and he is fun! It took me a few days to start playing but now we play all the time. The cat tried to take food from my dish when I was eating one day so I snapped once to tell him I like having my space. I don't mind if my humans are around when I'm eating but if I have something high value then I don't really like to give it up. I need proper/slow introductions to new people so we all get off on a good start. I have a high pitch bark I will probably let out when meeting someone new and can try to lunge because I get anxious meeting them and feel restrained on the leash but if you just stand there and let me come to you I have done well so I hope my forever family will be patient with me and help me continue to learn humans are good! I have not met any kids and because I need proper introductions I will only go to a home with adults. I went to doggy daycare for the first time this week and I was very cautious and reacted to a few dogs coming up to me but after 15 minutes I was a good girl and had a blast meeting dogs of all sizes! I am muzzle trained for both new people and animal introductions. I am fine letting you put it on me but its not my favorite thing to wear. I am also crate trained for when you have to go out because I am still a puppy and like to keep my mouth busy. I bark a few times going back in the crate but settle very quickly. I have the odd accident in the house but as long as I get out every few hours I have been good. I will just stand or sit in the car but I suggest we clip me in because I will try to roam around otherwise. I LOVE water and LOVE my ball when my foster parents play fetch with me. I am a very energetic girl and would play all day if you let me! I am still learning to walk slower on the leash, everything is just so new and exciting I just want to get to the next place as fast as I can! I will let you know if I hear or see something so no apartments for this girl. I am quite the sook when I trust you and if you're sitting down you can bet you will get kisses all over! I also like to get on your lap and roll down, foster mom says I'm quite the character 😇 Are you the perfect home for Lola girl?! My adoption fee is a $400 donation to help save more dogs like me.
