If you are a dog owner living in or thinking about moving to Concord, one of the first questions you will have is simple. Where can I walk my dog safely and enjoyably?

It’s sobering up.
Price cuts are rising in many markets, and that matters because it signals a shift in leverage. It does not automatically mean we’re replaying 2008.
