With the weather finally shaping up, somewhat, is our market heating up too? Another week in q positive direction as plenty of sellers rush onto the market to be greeted by a buzz of buyers, and their activity. As we have seen, despite the long winter, buyers have been quite active this year and this week is no exception. With a substantial amount of new listings over last year this time, it would appear that the bad weather cork has popped, and the rush to capture what's left of the Spring market has many sellers getting to the delayed task. Looking ahead, we can see by the listings that went conditional/pending this week, that buyer activity is not only maintaining, it's actually increasing. Absorption rate fell a week, which is an abnormal report for the spring market (especially for the amount of listings that have poured in). Sellers may be pleasantly surprised this Spring if priced appropriately, the amount of activity may seem a little bit different this year compared to the last few. With just a glimpse of a mildly improved climate, I can't help but wonder what a stretch of sunny days will bring. Stay tuned to find out!  Meet Jackson! WEEKLY ADOGTABLE Jackson is a beautiful, kind and loving 4 year old lab mix. He loves people, walks and hiding his bone as well as playing fetch. He can't get enough cuddles and freely gives hugs and kisses. Jackson knows "sit" and "give paw" but is usually enticed by a treat for these commands and could benefit from obedience training as he is an excitable boy. He likes to bark when he is excited and since he is so excitable, might not be trusted off leash as you would not want to risk losing this cuddler. He lives for attention so would be better suited to be the only dog in the home as he likes to be number one however he gets along with most dogs. He also doesn't mind cats and loves children. He may be better suited for a home with grown children as he jumps on people for hugs. He is the sweetest and cutest boy and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have sweet Jackson as part of their family. Jackson weighs about 40 pounds and will be neutered this coming Wednesday. If you would like to meet Jackson, please read our adoption process located in the tabs section of this Facebook and the adoption application can also be found there as well This "playful pal" is available through Litters' n Critters, a non profit rescue organization from Dartmouth, 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.  The ViewPoint Realty Interactive Map LET ME HELP YOU OUT
