It's very early in the year and things tend to be a bit unpredictable, but market activity in the HRM is wild right now (especially on the peninsula). January does tend to have a surge of activity annually, which tends to cool off when the white stuff flies, but I'm not so sure this year is going to follow along. Right now, buyers in the market are in a "need to see right away" mode, because if they don't get in, chances are they will miss out! There was a decent amount of new listings this week, but the overall inventory reported a measly 6 product gain, and condo's actually reduced this week! If things keep going in this direction, buyers will have an even harder time finding the right fit, so that many more compromises might have to be made on the wants list to secure a property. Still, it is very early in the year, and things can got in either direction, but for now it's a feeding frenzy out there and new listings are chumming the waters. Things could change rapidly, so make sure to stop by to check into the blog to stay on top of the market, or contact me with any questions! Thanks for stopping by!

The burning question from last year still remains, will the buyer surge continue on into this new year. All signs point to yes, with new listings enjoying above average viewings and multiple offers, sparking continued buyer frustration. Quite the stark market environment from a short three years ago, going from the highest inventory HRM has ever seen, to the lowest in over a decade. If you didn't see the 2018 market year in review, I would highly encourage a quick look (scroll down) to see the market change from a balanced one in areas, to a sellers market in several. January does tend to be a bit busy out of the gate, but ends up softening a little when the full brunt of Winter comes calling. Still, I'm not sure if the icy chill of the approaching cold months are enough to cool this market. Time will tell, so make sure to keep in touch to find out! Thanks for stopping by!

Newest Blog post HERE Come along as we explore some of the market variables that certainly made 2018 a year to remember! As far as the average sales numbers go, you won't be clutching the edge of your seat in anticipation of how it reported last year, but it's still interesting. Usually, this is a statistic that has become an "ol faithful" year to year, reporting marginal gain annually despite the market environment, and 2018 was no exception to this trend. As you can see from the chart above, there was a few months that battled back and forth with 2017, but 2018 won the match overall. Last year capped out with the highest selling month value in April at a few dollars shy of $314,000, but fell short of besting 2017, which reported over $317,000 in the peak month of May.  As you can see from the above chart, the race to the top of the sales month is quite consistent year over year as well. Of course, some years do better than others, but the overall trend stays the same. The peak sales hump generally runs from mid/late April to late July/mid August, and is usually met with an inventory level that absorbs the fluctuation with ease. I say usually, but 2018 was a bit different, however I don't wasn't to get too far ahead of myself. Last year faired really well in the sales ring, and I believe it would have done that much better if there was inventory to meet the activity. Still, 2018 beat several of the tracked years overall, and reported stronger than 2017, which was also a good sales year. Peak sales capped out just over 700 units in May, but was again bested by 2017 which reported a mere 4 units more overall.  This chart should come as no surprise to all the buyers of 2018, or the readers of my blog, but inventory overall ghosted us last year. With the solid sales report (above) reporting higher than the last several years, the lack of new property additions coupled with the surge in buyer activity made the purchasing landscape difficult to navigate. 2018 started with the lowest overall inventory in over a decade, and continued that trend for the rest of the year. So, as I alluded to in the sales report, the inventory additions were not enough to keep up with the demand. It begs the question of what will transpire in this new year should the activity stay the same. The 2018 Halifax real estate market year was a year that started off as a balanced market in many areas, but quickly turned to a sellers market in several key neighbourhoods. Just to put it into perspective how drastically the market has changed in the last few years, we went from the highest inventory ever reported on the blog in August of 2015, to the lowest inventory level in in over a decade in a short 3 year span...pretty amazing. 2019 should prove to be another interesting year to follow, with the big question being; boom or bust? Make sure to check in to find out, starting with the weekly market rant returning on Thursday. Thanks for stopping by! LET ME HELP YOU OUT! Have a question about the Halifax Real Estate market?

At the end of the market year we usually see this level dip to the annual low point, and this year is no different. With the biggest holiday's on the horizon, many take the opportunity to take a pause from their property needs and concentrate on other things. Just because the gap is narrowing, doesn't necessarily mean that we are headed in a backward direction, although, the market is unpredictable, so you never know what will be in store for the 2019 market year. I know many buyers would be happy if a few more options came to market, or to a lesser extent, fewer buyers to compete with. 2018 was a hard market year for some buyers, especially in peninsular Halifax, where multiple offers and quickly sold properties were very much a reality. This week is very reflective of last year at this time, and there are several stats reporting eerily alike. We're down in a few area's this week however, even if marginal, so the big question is how 2019 will respond. You will have to come back in the new year to find out, as the blog posts the 2018 market year summary! Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Holidays! I just wanted to wish all my clients, friends, family and readers of the blog a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! The weekly market rant will return in 2019, with the 2018 market year summary!

For the third week in a row we are well above the average StL report, and well above the 50% mark, which is also really high for this time of year. The general feeling out there is that there's still a bulge of buyers hunting the market, and with lack of product availability (in certain areas and type), the few listings that do come to market get snapped up. The absorption is in alignment with this time last year, and the inventory overall has taken another step towards closing the gap as well, however, buyer interest is still at an all time high and seemingly more active. Ultimately, things are bound to cool off, even for a short time over the holiday's, and it will be interesting to see what 2019 has in store for our fair city. Stay tuned to the blog to stay on top of it all! Thanks for stopping by! The Weekly Adogtable The Weekly Adogtable! Meet Pipsqueak. Such a sweetheart!

Most properties currently on the market are leftovers from the summer/fall market, and there’s usually a reason those get left behind for things like price and/or condition. Location also plays a part, but in the HRM, anything priced right is still moving. As we approach Christmas we will hit the lowest selection of inventory of the year. Things usually pick up right afterwards for a short surge in Jan/Feb, then dies off again for a couple months due to peak winter weather. Inventory has been an a bit finicky this year though. Lots of buyers, but the property additions to the market have been below average, creating the current balanced/seller’s market we are currently in. Anything remotely priced accordingly, and in good condition are being snapped up, so it’s important a constant watch on the areas of interest. Sellers to this market are likely being surprised by the amount of activity they are receiving for the time of year, but the question is; how will 2019 take this momentum? YOu'll have to stay tuned to the blog to find out! Thanks for stopping by! The Weekly Adogtable! Hi my name is Paris and I am a two year old American bully (bulldog) princess. I am an adoptable dog with the good bones dog rescue . I am completely deaf but my foster mom has taught me some sign commands and I have caught on fast but need practice outside with distractions. I am fully vetted and absolutely irresistible. I will need a human with patience because I am special and someone with bully experience would be best. No apts or condos for me because I use my cute little bark to communicate and gain your attention. Kids are okay as long as 6+ only because she is very muscular and solid. A fenced yard would be perfect so I can play and run freely. I can run fast even with my short legs. I would absolutely love to be the only pet in my house because I am a princess. I will share my bed, toys, treats and food with dogs but in no way am I letting another dog steal my mom. I will chase you away. Right now I have dog friends (a lab and golden retriever) that I walk and play chase with . Dog friends outside my castle are fine but I don’t want you moving in. Deal? I rush to meet doggie friends, because I am so excitable outside, so that can be intimidating. No offleash for me as I chase leaves or anything that catches my eye and since I am deaf I won’t hear you calling me back. I am very short and muscular (quite the little tank) so I could inadvertently knock a little person over with my uncoordinated running style. I have quite a bit of energy to burn before spending time inside and I love the outdoors. I could walk all day . In the house I like training sessions and stimulating toys so I don’t get bored. Did I mention I absolutely love cuddling? This "cuddly companion" is available through Good Bones Dog Rescue, a non profit rescue organization from Halifax, Nova Scotia.

As a matter of fact, all activity is slightly lower than average again this week, including overall sales and properties that received and accepted offers. Could just be the adjustment to getting out in this unseasonably cold weather, or maybe the stats are trending in a different direction. Hard to tell right now, and using this Fall market history is a bit tuff since the reports have been so hot and cold. What else is down, however, are the usually high performing numbers if the market is taking a turn. Stats like the expired/cancelled pile and price changes are usually at a peak performance when inventory is stuck in a rut, but these are also reporting below average. With all the above considered, you could likely just pass it off as yet another soft week, but then you see the absorption rate, which climbed again this week and took a stride on this time last year, which makes you wonder. Hopefully the indication of trend or anomaly emerges soon, so stay tuned to the blog to see the conclusion! Thanks for stopping by! The Weekly Adogtable! Meet Chuck! Weight: 48 lbs.

Listings are still trickling in, although, reported much lower than annual averages, and most other stats also quite par for the time of year. One of the call outs of the week is the absorption rate. While most of the year leaned favour in the 2018 market year direction, this week actually reported higher than last year at this time. I fell like it has been a long time coming though. Since the almost full-stop of activity that happened in September, the market has had its weeks of surging activity since then, but was also followed by a complete fall off the next. It's certainly been a hot and cold, back and forth Fall market, except of course those areas of the region that are still enjoying a sellers market. A few more months of this continued activity, and that environment is sure to change. Thanks for stopping by! The Weekly Adogtable! Meet Loly! Loly is a female aged 6 years old with medium energy.

That is the question many in the industry have pondered this week, including me! I want to say that annual trend has lead us here, and there really should be no surprise regarding the environment we find ourselves in, but there seems to be something else afoot. Usually, buyer activity wains around this time, but we still have a good surplus of buyers out there looking for properties that just aren't coming. That, or the listings that do come to market, especially on the peninsula, have come at a premium price forcing buyers to turn away on principal alone. Nova Scotia isn't an Ontario or British Columbia market by any means, and history would show that people here are not about to get wrapped up in the boom bust type market of such metropolises. If that means waiting out the storm of high prices, most are willing to wait, but some unfortunately cannot. I have talked before about people who were caught with the 2011/12 market, and it has become quite the bitter pill to swallow for buyers in that time who overpaid, now years later. There seems to be sellers testing the market at a premium to see if anyone bites, and those are the most dangerous for buyers to bite on, especially if they don't have someone who can help them navigate the market. Can't blame sellers though, the rule of thumb is to buy low and sell high, and that is just what this market has provided at this point. We will see how long it lasts, but it does seem like the wind is out of the sails this week. Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget, if you have any questions I'm just a call or click away.

Just an indicator that annual trend is in full swing. Surprisingly, there was an above average amount of new listings this week, and not so surprising is that they were met with fewer buyers for the time of year. Still, buyer activity remains in full sprint mode, as many are still attempting to get into their new digs before the new year is out, and with only a few more weeks until Christmas, the game is on! Values overall remained steady this week, and so too is the absorption rate, which evened out after a drastic freewill a few weeks back. This weekend, the Remembrance Day weekend, is usually a low point for the years activity, second only to Christmas. Rightly so, since taking the time to remember the people directly involved with preserving our freedom, who paid the ultimate sacrifice for that freedom, should supersede most activities that day. Thanks for stopping by!  Sunday is Remembrance Day across Canada, and I would encourage every Canadian to get out and attend one of the many ceremonies across the city, which can be found HERE. Still not sure where to go and when to be there? Simply head to your closest Canadian Legion by 10:30am on the 11th to take in the day. The Weekly Adogtable! Meet Kane! A laid back boy, Kane is looking for a family with the perfect couch for him to lounge on. Put on the TV and take a seat beside him, he's sure to enjoy the time spent with his new family. Kane would prefer to be the king of the home - due to lack of socializing in his early years, he'd thrive in a setting where he doesn't need to share his space with other animals. He does well meeting dogs on walks, but doesn't quite understand how to play respectfully. Obedience classes would be a great idea for this guy, as it helps build a strong relationship and will teach him the ins and outs and being a good boy. Kane would do best in a home: With kids over the age of 5 Without other animals Any activity level, keeping in mind he's not overly active This "cuddly companion" is available through Homeward Bound City Pound, a non profit rescue organization from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
