Fetching Homes: Dog Days of Summer

It may be the dog days of summer, but there isn’t a runt in the litter with this week’s House Hunt.

Every listing is at least 2,000 square feet, and most have property features that even Fido would love. We thought we’d throw you a bone and show you some of the most interesting available homes from Realtor.com.

Take a walk through our photo array and read the details about each house, including the times of their open houses this Sunday, July 31.

Try to leash your excitement as you pick which listings give you a Pavlov response. Then take your loved ones for a ride and visit the homes for sale, so you don’t end up in the doghouse for missing the opportunity.

Yes, we know that the term "dog days" refers to the ancient belief that the star Sirius, known as the Dog Star, was the cause of the summertime heat because of its close proximity during this time of the year. We know it has nothing to do with pooches.

But, if you check out the stars of the House Hunt this week, you, too may be that star dog that gets the bone.
