MARKET RANT
Another slow week on the market it seems. Lack of sales in the past few weeks, coupled with an apparent never ending supply of inventory has set the absorption rate to record highs this week. To put into perspective, If inventory additions completely stopped today, it would take over 8 months to sell off the current stock at this sales rate. That being said, we are at the end of the season and typically see this type of performance. This week just happened to have a huge spike. Let's hope that trend doesn't continue. Doesn't really look like the inventory wants to reduce at all! Single family homes had a marginal reduction and condo inventory actually gained. Interested to see how the rest of the year plays out, so stay tuned to the blog for all the details!


WEEKLY ADOGTABLE
Roscoe is between 2 & 3 years old and available for adoption , he is fully vaccinated and neutered , people and kid friendly , Roscoe gets along with some but not all dogs , he seems to prefer smaller breed dogs that are low energy. He also needs a cat free home.

This fella is currently being cared for by NSPBRS, a non profit rescue association. Details about this beauty and others ready for a "furever"  home, including how to adopt, other dogs for adoption, and ways to donate, can be found by clicking the picture :)  Thank you for your consideration!
