Total inventory slid again this week, narrowing the the gap from last year to this year yet again. You could go out on a limb and say that annual trend has finally corrected itself and is influencing the weekly report, and I would agree. There's no question that things are slowing down, but underneath the surface of the calming waters remains a swirling churn of activity for many areas of HRM. I have talked about the lessoning number of offers being sent on some listings, and also to the dollar amount over asking starting to shrink, and this continues to happen more frequently as the year starts to conclude. Showings are starting to slow, and some listings that have priced to current overbid market are receiving cold shoulders from the current buyer group. As we press on into the Fall, there does seem to be a bump in activity, so it will be interesting to see how these stats shape up to the Summer months, and which will have the winning report. If I could guess, I would say Fall is performing better. Once September hit there was a wake up in the market, which again, falls in line with annual trend but it could be temporary. It would be good news to see the market starting to flow in its usual way, I think many that have experienced the market, or currently looking forward to seeing a return to normalcy. A return to gauging a realistic expectation, instead of boldly guessing property value. For some Nova Scotian's, it seems big city real estate market tactics have worn out their lustre, as affordability and availability push many locals out of the current market options. Will we continue to settle back into our old ways, or will a new market emerge with new trends? Stay tuned to the blog to find out! Thanks for stopping by, and stay safe out there! The Weekly "Adogtable" Hi everyone! My name is Chandler and I am a 4 year old, border collie mix boy weighing around 45lbs. I came from Texas several months ago, I thought I had found my forever home but turns out I wasn't quite home yet. I'm a little shy and it takes me a little more time to trust people, but once I warm up I love a good scratch, especially on my ears or under my chin, and I also love a good cuddle, particularly first thing in the morning! I enjoy the company of other dogs, but prefer to watch rather than play. I'm unsure of kids, I tend to scare easily, so I would do best in a kid-free home. As far as cats go, I haven't been around any, so I'm not sure about them yet. I walk really well on my leash, but it's really important that I'm always on a double leash because I am able to back out of my harness when I get scared. I can sit and come when called, but I will need some patience and training when it comes to body handling and confidence building; I tend to get nervous if I feel trapped or cornered and when walking through doorways. I'm not a big fan of toys right now, but I may learn to enjoy them over time. Car rides on the other hand, I'm definitely a fan of those! I'll just curl up and have a nap on route to our next big adventure together! At home, if there is someone around, I like to follow them around the house. If I'm alone I won't be destructive but I think I'd like someone home more than not. I am happy to say I am housetrained as well! I know I have a few things to work on, but I promise that your patience will be rewarded! So, if you're looking for a sweet and smart pup to join your family, I'm ready to go to my forever home with you! Do you think we'd be a good match?
