New listings flocked to market this week, but there was still some areas of the city that are seeing more action than others. Core sections of Dartmouth, and hot spots of the peninsula (as always), but the void is noticeable in these desirable areas, so it seems the overall inventory count is being padded by certain areas and price points and when listings come up in the low count areas and prices, they are seeing above average activity. Another outside factor driving this purchasing push is the looming interest rate hikes. Not confirmed at this point, but I think a lot of folks were surprised about the interest rate hike earlier this month after speculation that there would be a hold, so some may be making a push to lock something up before that happens. Much like the pandemic market, prices took buyers out of the market first, then rising interest rates landed another blow to weary buyers already on the edge of affordability. Home ownership became something that many had to bow out of, until late last year when things started to become a bit more reasonable. Prices stabilized, and overbid amounts were somewhat under control, enticing buyers who had left the market (especially entry level buyers) to come back, only to be met with similar conditions as when they left. Ultimately, the anticipation is another slowdown, wether it is caused by soaring interest rates, overall un-affordability, or simply the lack of options. While the second or third home price range continues to grow, entry level and first time home buyer options remain less than optimal. Simply put, buyers need more affordable options out there, especially within striking distance to the city. Hopefully we see a few more options across the board! Time will tell and I have you covered, so be sure to stay on top of things by tuning into the blog! Thanks for stopping by! The Weekly "Adogtable"Hi everyone, my name is Quail, I’m a rambunctious 11 month old American bulldog mix and I’m about 70 lbs. I came from Louisiana a few weeks ago, where I was found as a stray, in search of a better life. I'm now ready to start that search. It’s currently just me and my foster mommy at home, but before I was rescued from the shelter in Louisiana, I was the tester doggy there. They used me to test all the new arrivals because I am pretty chill. That's still somewhat true. My rescuers sent me to another foster with a doggy, some kitties and a toddler to test me. Me and the doggy got along great outside and fairly well inside. I wanted to share my toy with him so I'd drop it so he could take it. Once he went to take it, I snapped at him. I love my toys, I wanted to try to share but couldn't bring myself to go through with it. After though, I'd try to give him kisses to say I'm sorry. This is something I'll need to work on. As I said, outside was great, we played and played but I don’t really know my own size so I was a little rough with him. So a doggy my own size would be more ideal. I was very interested in the kitties, I whined and whined at them but they wouldn't come to see me. As far as toddlers go, nope, definitely not my cup of tea so older kids only please. I'm still a puppy, so as far as my training goes, everyday I’m getting better on leash, but my foster mom says I’d benefit from a gentle leader as I tend to get excited and will pull a little. My recall is a work in progress so I’m a little bit of a flight risk, but I’m highly food motivated and a quick learner so I don’t imagine it’ll take me long to break out of those habits. I’m only 11 months old so I have a lot of puppy energy and tendencies so my energy level matches that. My foster mum takes me on several walks a day but she says I’ll probably enjoy a home that has a yard or is near a park so that I can get my energy out that way. When I get wound up, I start playing using my mouth. Because I’m such a big, strong boy, it can hurt. I don't mean to be rough, I just want to play. I love to play fetch and will play for hours if you let me, just don't expect me to always return it to you. I’m working on my housetraining, it isn’t perfect, but I’ve made loads of progress in a such a short time. My foster mom works full time but if I have someone able to let me out every few hours, I should master it in no time. I’m good in the car but you may have to lift me in occasionally as I’m still getting the hang of it. I don’t have separation anxiety and I’ll usually distract myself with a good indestructible toy until someone returns to play with me. If left unattended for too long, I may get into things that are left laying around the house like shoes or books as I am a chewer, but I am crate trained if there’s ever a need to do so. I’m not a big barker, but I’ll bark a little if I see a bigger dog while on walks or when someone comes to the door but I stop when told. I sleep on my bed sometimes, but I really enjoy sleeping on the couch. As far as food goes, I love it, so much so that I had an emergency vet visit because I gobbled way too much food when my foster mom was out, which is why I should be crated when you're out. My foster mommy has noticed that kibble with chicken doesn’t agree with my tummy and can cause me to become itchy. I’m a tall boy so I will try my luck if you leave interesting smelling items close enough to the edge of the counter. I think I’d be best suited in an active family or a home with another pup to play with, just no toys unless we are outside. I’m good with strangers and may come off a little strong as I like to jump on them to greet them, but my foster mommy says I can’t keep doing this and we’ve been working on it together. I love to give kisses and I’m all around just a very affectionate pup that loves living in my hoomans shadow. If I sound like the guy you've been looking for, then let my rescuers know that you want to bring me home by submitting an application.
