Market Rant
And the hits keep coming. The already decimated inventory took another significant loss again this week, reporting almost half of the total amount from last year at this time, but single family homes and condos are reporting well under level. Again, annual trend does command this reduction around this time, it just seems amplified by the already record low availability which is causing some concern for the inventory recovery in 2022. New listing additions have stalled a bit as well, which may be caused by the lacking inventory since sellers with the need to move and stay in HRM find themselves without options. Sales are still doing very well however, solid reports week to week, regardless of this inventory void. Despite the lack of property for sale, average values and the overbid percentages seem to be holding, which lends to the idea that a correction is actually underway and may start to show more during the 2022 Spring market. So it looks like we are going to end 2021 with a lot of questions and speculation for the market next year, which is not so common for the Halifax market pre-2020. What was a predictable and steadfast market has become anything but, forcing many buyers out as selling prices to rocketed to record heights. Expect the next few reports as we head to the end of the year to look bit off from usual stats, but tis the season for the unexpected! Thanks for stopping by and stay safe out there!

The Weekly "Adogtable"

This beautiful Amstaff mix is looking for that special Human. Ranger is a young (just under 2 years old) high energy good natured dog that would do well with some consistent exercise, training and steadfast love. Ranger is very friendly with people. He loves to play but can get mouthy when over stimulated and will require some gentle training to improve his manners. For this reason we recommend a home with children over 14. Ranger is a good student eager to learn and hungry for attention. We are looking for a patient adopter who will give him the proper exercise, invest in his training by taking him to classes and working with him daily. For this lucky person we feel Ranger has the potential to be a truly excellent companion and deserves the best. 

You can find out more about our adoption process here:

​This "cuddly companion" is available through Good Bones Dog Rescue, a non profit rescue organization from Nova Scotia. More info about him and other adoptable's looking for their furever home, and ways to help or donate can be found by clicking HERE
