Hello everyone, and welcome to the tardy edition of the Halifax Real Estate market rant! It looks as though Sellers are on board with the Spring market now, as listings continue to pile onto the market with another solid +400 additions this week. Buyer activity doesn't seem to be declining either. Although there was fewer sales this week driving down the sales to list ratio, there is a good amount of properties that received and accepted offers indicating that Buyers are still out in mass. The overall market continues to report much healthier than last year as well, with fewer listings cancelling or expiring from the market, significantly lower inventory, and the reduced absorption rate. Typically, as we edge closer to Summer things are meant to wain, but with reported activity of the 2017 market thus far, I wouldn't expect to see a full stop anytime soon. Of course, the real estate market here in Halifax is anything but predictable, but there is an attitude of "let it ride" out there currently. Make sure to stop by the blog to stay up to date with all the happenings of our market, and thanks for stopping by!  Meet Charlie! WEEKLY ADOPTABLE Charlie arrived at the Dartmouth SPCA late April. He was surrendered by his previous owners who were no longer able to care for him. This guy may need some time to form a bond and earn his trust. Once Charlie gets to know you, you will truly see how much a dog is capable of loving someone. He is a big sweetheart who just wants to hang out and have fun. He absolutely loves tennis balls! He plays a great game of fetch. Charlie will only be going outside with serious adopters at this time. In his time at the shelter staff have been working on building his confidence. He is quite nervous being around men. Other dogs also cause him to become quite fearful. Due to these considerations, if you are interested in meeting Charlie a staff member would be glad to accompanied you into one of our outdoor play areas! We are hoping that this way he will be more comfortable meeting potential adopters! Short walks would be best. Vets have diagnosed him with luxating patellas in his rear end. It's also suspected that he may have degenerative joint disease. Down the road it may be recommended for him to receive corrective surgery. Currently he is on pain medication for this (Metacam) and will be for the rest of his life. We think Charlie will be able to interact with dogs when he has gone to his forever home. This could be done if his new family has the patience to properly help him be introduced slowly to new dog friends. He does seem to be more comfortable with female dogs-as opposed to males. Staff believe Charlie would prefer to be the only dog in the home. Charlie will need to be in a home with adults only. Since he is so timid, quick moving children, strangers, and new situations can make him quite nervous. A quiet home would be best for him. If you can provide the love and kindness this guy needs, ask the staff to meet him today! This "cuddly companion" is available through the Dartmouth SPCA, a non profit rescue organization from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
