Although listings overall were down by seventy units this week compared to last year this time, for the second week straight, new products have continued to flood onto the market and show solid engagement. With the white stuff lingering around, buyers are still somewhat reluctant to get out there to have a look, but keep a weathered eye on listings as they come to market. This ensures a solid list of potentials to see when all the ice and mess is gone. Sales where down overall this week, but it seems the impact of this winter stretched its frigid reach to the Spring which caused a bit of a backlog in activity. So I wouldn't be surprised if numbers, such as the listing additions, shoot to record heights in the next few weeks in a game of catch up. Still, things press on and general market attitude is a "hurry up and melt so I can go check out some properties" one. Early stage buzz is starting to happen, which is mildly delayed from the annual trend, but it's still happening which is hopefully a sign of good things to come. WEEKLY ADOGTABLE Ariel is a 2.5 year old AmStaff looking for a home with a breed experienced family. She LOVES people and loves to play, but she can be a bit rough with jumping and mouthing. Because of this, a home with children over the age of 10 would be ideal. No cats or dogs for Ariel; she likes to be the queen of her castle! Socialization with Ariel and other dogs would be a great idea as she is very anxious around other animals. Ariel does well in her run and tested nicely in the crate. She is fairly quiet, great at calming down quickly and she appears to be house trained too! Daily exercise will be essential for Ariel to be a happy and content girl. Ariel LOVES to practice her obedience; it's recommended that her new owners enroll her in obedience classes This "giving gal" is available through Homeward Bound City Pound, a non profit rescue organization from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. More info about her, other adoptable's looking for their furever home, and ways to help or donate can be found by clicking HERE.
