New weekly additions to the market reported averagely, sales slightly elevated, and listings that received and accepted offers reported quite the same as they have lately; above average. The overall inventory gained again this week, even if marginally, and with the peak of the Spring market on the horizon, we may only see a slightly larger number than what has been reported thus far. Could have been the long weekend that had an impact, but the initial feel during and afterwards has been rather tepid. Values in both tracked products reported much lower than they have been lately, however, the six month selling prices crept up yet again this week, continuing to widen the gap of the overbid. The expectation is that the market will cool as the weather heats up. The annual trend is that the Spring market will always have what seems to be a lot of options, but it is also met with a balanced (or more) demand for products as relocations are in full swing, as well as other folks who need to move for various other reasons. Most like to be settled before Summer hits so they can enjoy it, so the push to be in their new residence really becomes the main focus during the Spring months. As these buyers purchase property and the demand wains, the market cools and we see activity start to slow. Good news for buyers who are perhaps looking to get into the market, and who don't; want to compete as intensely, but the market is anything but predictable these days so you never know what will happen. Stay tuned to stay on top of the market, and thanks for stopping by! The Weekly "Adogtable"My name is Sasha. I am a 7yr old, 12lb chihuahua mix lady. I came from Texas a couple months ago and now I need to start the search for my forever home. On average, it takes 100 shares and 100 likes for a dog to find a home! Please share my story so my forever family will find me! I came as a very nervous little girl, but I am blossoming slowly into a more confident dog. I will require a patient and attentive home. In my current foster home my ma and pa are retired, and with time, these two have become my pals. Their grown children and spouses, well, they may need a bit more time. They come and go and we can all hang out in the same room together, but sometimes I show them my very best teeth. This is to remind them that we are not on a first name basis yet. I will do this even if they glance in my direction and do not approach me. My foster dad was smart and did a lot of stuff beside me and never looked at me, that is the way I like it. I don’t think I’d be a good match for small children. I will allow my foster mom to pat me all over, but I prefer to have her on the floor with me, so I can decide how long and how much attention I want. I will crawl in her lap, but I do not want to be picked up. I can get on the furniture, but usually won't if someone is already on it. I will go in a crate on my own and this is handy for going to the vet, a place I can certainly do without!! I am not leashed trained as I haven’t yet had the courage to venture outside. Hopefully that comes soon because I get so excited when my foster mom comes home from walking the other dogs, I think I’d definitely enjoy going with them. I get so happy to see everyone, I am bouncing and tail wagging like crazy. It lets my foster mom know that a playful dog is hidden deep inside. I don’t really like toys, have not really cared for food games or puzzles. Unless there is a significant reward I won’t work very hard, if at all. I am also a silly animated dog at meal times, otherwise I am hard to convince to come out of my bed. I am not destructive in the least. My bed, well, I love it. I had a nice fluffy one waiting for me and I love it. It is my safe space and I don’t want ANYONE to bother me when I am there. My foster mom really wanted me to join the pack so my bed is close to everyone, which is fine. At night I have a bedroom bed. I am fine with that and am happy in the bedroom with everyone, I totally get my nighttime routine. I cannot be convinced to get on the human bed. I have climbed on to explore but not to sleep. I really don’t like other dogs in my personal space when I curl up so maybe if no dogs where up there, I might. As far as other dogs go, that is another uncertainty. I like my foster brothers, who are all very chill, but I am not part of the pack. I might choose to be near them if I am nervous, but I might want them to buzz off too. I definitely don’t want them near my bed or dinner. I think I like them around, but I don’t think I’d like a dog up in my face. Cats? They are to chase and howl at aren’t they? The one here is for sure, the few times I’ve seen her. So maybe best that there's none of them in my new home. My foster mom is dying to get me outside, but the last few weeks have been so cold, and I have showed zero interest. I have a feeling if the weather goes above zero I will be forced out that back door. While I am an indoor dog I am a very tidy, pee pad trained girl. My foster mom really thinks once I'm brave enough to take on that big, scary world outside, I'll blossom into my best self in no time. I am not going to be the dog for every family, as I'll need a very patient family, but my cuteness is undeniable. The reward of becoming my friend is significant, to earn my trust is a gift. My foster mom says they don’t come any prettier, my brown eyes melt her heart. My adoption fee is a $450 donation to the rescue to help save more dogs like me.
