Although the city's weather seems to be a bit confused, the Spring market market is focused, and in full swing. Largest addition of new listing's to the market this year so far, and there are other signs that activity is up. From the early wave of listings this year, there was substantial amount's of listings that expired, or cancelled from the market. Of course, this weeks report did fall over the first of the month, so you have to expect a bit of a deviance from listings that expired, then re-listed .shortly thereafter. Sales maintained a solid footing, and it doesn't look like there will be any less sales in the coming weeks according to the listings that went conditional/pending. Good thing we are still experiencing this renewed Buyer activity, or surely the inventory would be way out off control at this point. Speaking of which, what looked like a downward trajectory for the overall levels early in the year has turned around quite quickly, and is widening the gap in the opposite direction. Not exactly what a lot of Sellers are hoping for (competition and all), but the absorption rate did drop two points from last week, and a staggering ten points overall from last year. That gives me hope that this years market has turned a new leaf, and is ready to turn the tables...well... at least balance them. Thanks for stopping by! WEEKLY ADOPTABLE Sir Winston is approx 6 yrs old, cat and dog friendly, and ready for snugglin'. We are doing his exam, vaccinating, parasite control on Monday. His neuter will be later on the week. More details coming soon. He does not jump up but he is a strong puller on leash. A home with no cats or other dogs would be best. He also likes to paw you for treats if you have them, so that is something that would need to be discouraged in case his nails are too long and could scratch a child. If you are interested in adopting then we recommend you consider Trupanion Dog Insurance This "cuddly companion" is available through Good Bones Dog Rescue, a non profit rescue organization from Halifax, Nova Scotia. More info about him, other adoptable's looking for their furever home, and ways to help or donate can be found by clicking HERE.
