Not far behind the recent Irving shipbuilding news is apparent spike in activity this week. Whether they are directly connected may just be a coincidence...or is it? It would appear that we may have had the end/beginning of month inventory flip over sooner than usual, that, or a plethora of winter contracts had expired (see the unusually high expired pile) this week. Either way you slice it, the inventory took a steep climb this week to close the gap from last year's reports. If it keeps up like this in for just a couple more weeks, we may be back to square one and well on our way back to the basement. One positive note is the number of listings that reported conditional this week. If 85-90% of those actually firm up, we will have a strong enough showing to keep the listings flooding onto the market at bay. There may a few antsy sellers looking to sprint to the market for their chance at a quick sale, but those who walk back may find better results. For now, though, we can at least say that January should report better than last year, and you will have to tune in next week to the blog for the January wrap up to find out just how much!  WEEKLY ADOGTABLE Dean is a 3 year old AmStaff looking for an adult-only home. This compact rednose LOVES attention and absolutely loves hugs! He knows some basic commands when motivated with treats, but would not make a good off-leash dog. Dean loves to play fetch, he thinks chasing toys is super fun! He is even starting to learn to drop the toy on demand. He doesn't tend to bark, is not a chewer, and is very calm and relaxed in the home. Dean will need an experienced owner as he does not know how to act like a gentleman around other dogs; he can be reactive from afar, and even though he can do well face-to-face, he was dominant and pushy with our little beagle test dog. We say no children as Dean can be very mouthy when over-stimulated. He does well with calm children, but should not be around children who are running around and acting excited unless properly supervised by an adult. No cats for this boy please! Dean is here, anxiously waiting for his new family to take him home. Stop by and meet this handsome man today! This "dashing duke" is available through Homeward Bound City Pound, a non profit rescue organization from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
