December 1st is notorious for a noticable drop in inventory, as Seller's concede the lack of sale to the holiday season. Most people who are selling at this point aren't really excited about the idea of a hot buyer coming in and asking for a quick close, and would rather tuck away until after the new year to try again. As you can see by the current active listings however, the majority aren't affected by the time of year, or maybe they think that Buyers might be considerate with their closing date... Suprising is the listing additions. Sure you could argue that property needs to be moved regardless of the time of year, and sure, there seems to be a surge of activity at this point, but new listings might find their hopeful Buyers distracted by the season. The market never rests though, and I can persoanllly attest to my buyer clients needs and their requirement to shop for a new home during this time of year is real. I will say though, they are forcasting for the new year. Have a great week, and thanks for stopping by! WEEKLY ADOPTABLE Harry is a lovely boy who is searching for a home to call his own. Handsome Harry is quite dominant when it comes to other dogs and can be a little pushy - he would be better suited with a submissive dog to thrive. He can be nervous of cats, but with the right introduction it could work out nicely! He seems to be sceptical of all new things, so he will need a family that has lots of patience to help him learn that not everything is scary. Harry can get quite excited and a little pushy so only children 12 & over for this guy, please! Obedience classes are mandatory for Harry as he tends to be quite interested in everything around him rather than people, so building that bond through training will be key to success! Come on by and meet Harry today. This "cuddly companion" is available through Homeward Bound City Pound, a non profit rescue organization from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
