Over the last few weeks, I noticed there are more market activities. The more desirable listings (eg. better location, better layout/condition) got sold pretty quickly compared to a month or two ago. My recommendation: It is a good time to go in if you are looking to live-in. Investors: Better to wait a few more months as there are tons of rental inventories out there and it is a challenging time to find good tenants.
Last but not least, if you have not met Jayden, a 5 year old Holland Lop. Jayden grew up with dogs around and he has picked up dog-like habits such as he will come if you call his name. He can do tricks like dogs do!
Stay safe!
