Hi, all! My name is Pappy. I am a sweet old man who was found on the streets. Can you believe that?! I don't know why no one came for me, but that just means I can share my love with a new mom or dad! The vet thinks I'm at least 10 years old. And you can probably tell: I'm a Chihuahua! Sadly, I do have a grade 4 heart murmur and am blind. So that means my new family might not have me for years and years, but I am looking for a quiet home with some soft, warm dog beds! My foster family thinks I can see a little bit but I do bump into some things sometimes, and I can't be trusted around steps. I'd keep walking and fall down! I don't even know how to climb up those high things! So baby gates will keep me safe if you have stairs around. But you know what?! I only weigh 8 lbs, so if you want to pick me up and give me a ride, that's okay with me! I wont hear you every time you call my name either but I do respond to claps and snaps when you need to get my attention. Oh! I can't forget to tell you how much I love wandering in the fenced in yard. I do potty outside, but I like to take myself for a walk a few times a day in the yard. My foster mom also takes me for a short walk on the leash every night. I live in a foster home with teenagers and two other dogs. I don't have any enemies, but animals in the home have to be really easy-going, as I get real close to them, even when they are chewing their favorite toys. Because I'm so small and old, I'd appreciate no little humans or big, active dogs in the home. So what do ya say?! Do you have a big heart for fragile little guys like me? If so please fill out an application on the website. lvpeaceablekingdom.info

After two years of record-setting activity, there are signs the housing market might be cooling. High home prices and a surge in mortgage interest rates are slowing buyer activity, with home sales declining for the third consecutive month under the weight of soaring homeownership costs. The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) reports existing home sales were down 2.4% from the previous month, while pending sales fell 3.9% as of last measure, extending the trend of recent months. Economists predict sales will continue to soften in the near future, which may put downward pressure on home prices.

The slowdown in sales has provided a much-needed lift to housing supply, with inventory up 10.8% from the previous month according to NAR, although supply remains down 10.4% compared to this time last year, with only 2.2 months’ supply of homes at the current sales pace. As the nation continues to explore ways to solve the ongoing housing shortage, estimated at 5.5 million homes, the Biden administration recently unveiled the Housing Supply Action Plan, which aims to expand housing access through a number of administrative and legislative actions and help relieve the nation’s housing crisis over the next 5 years.
