Dogs never die. They don’t know how to.

They get tired, very old and their bones hurt. Of course they don’t die. If they did they would not want to always go for a walk, even long after their old bones say “No, no not a good idea. Let’s not go for a walk.”

Nope, dogs always want to go for a walk. They might get one step before their aging tendons collapse them into a heap on the floor but that’s what dogs do. They walk.

You see, a walk with you is all there is. A walk with their best friend and the symphony of odor that the world is. Cat p**p, another dog’s mark, a rotting chicken bone and you. That is what makes their world perfect and in a perfect world death has no place.

Fact is dogs just get very, very sleepy. That is the thing you see. They don’t teach you that at the fancy university. They know so much there that they forget - that dogs never die. It is a shame really. Dogs have so much to offer and people just talk too much.

When you think your dog has died, it has really just fallen asleep in the world and now lives in your heart. And by the way, it is wagging its tail madly, you see, and that is why your chest hurts so much and you cry all the time. Who would not cry with a happy dog wagging its tail in their chest? Ouch! Wap, wap, wap, wap, wap, that hurts. But they only wag because they are so happy to be so close to you.

Whenever they wake up in your heart they wag their tail. After a few dog years, they sleep for longer periods of time and you will too. They were a GOOD DOG all their life and you both know it. It gets tiring being a good dog all the time, particularly when you get old and your bones hurt and you fall on your face and don’t want to go outside to p*e when it is raining but you do because you are a good dog. So understand that after they have been sleeping in your heart, they will sleep longer and longer.

But don’t get fooled. They are not “dead”. There is no such thing to a dog, really. They are sleeping in your heart and then they wake up, usually when you are not expecting it. It is just who they are.

If you’re thinking of buying or selling a home next year, you’re likely wondering what’s expected to happen in the housing market. Here are a few trends that our team at Long & Foster Real Estate expects to impact the market in 2020.
Resolution of uncertainty in the world economy could affect interest rates. Interest rates have been at historic lows the past few years largely due to investors flocking to US treasuries and rates are likely to remain low next year. However, should more stability in the world economy evolve via resolutions of the trade disputes and/or Brexit, mortgage rates may rise in response as money is moved out of the bond market.
Consumer confidence will remain strong. Consumer confidence is one of the most important leading indicators for the housing market since it requires optimism to make a long-term commitment to a house.
Inventory issues will continue to affect buyers looking for low- to mid-priced homes. The lack of listings has been severe for mid- and lower-priced homes, where demand outpaces supply, while the luxury market has plenty of inventory to meet demand.
New construction, especially of starter homes, may slow. While demand remains for new homes, the cost of land and materials, the shortage of skilled labor and overall regulatory environment are making it expensive to build.
Price appreciation will remain healthy. A modest rise of about 2% to 6% is expected in 2020, which is a solid gain—but not an indication of a bubble.
Home sales will be brisk, particularly for low- to mid-priced homes. The number of home sales should continue strong in 2020. It’ll remain a seller’s market for mid- to low-priced homes, while buyers will have more options in the mid- to upper-price ranges.
If you have questions about how these trends may affect you, let me know. As your local real estate expert, I’m here to help you with all your buying and selling needs.
Thank you!
