Here it comes, are you ready? The secret time to sell your home is just around the corner and the stats this week may be a small indication of things to come. New listing additions are slightly down however, sold listings improved  this week which spiked the sales to list ratio by 7 points. Not a bad comeback. Average SFH and Condo values remain stronger than ever with SFH price coming in over the 300k mark for the second week in a row for the first time this year. Lots of buzz and busyness this week, which I can personally attest too, from out of town clients digging for more information on the Halifax Residential and Multi-Residential market (which you can find here)  and looking for their chance to get in on the market. I still think the best is yet to come this year with the fall market quickly approaching and general market attitude improving. Whats your thoughts? Make sure to come back on September 1st for the August monthly residential wrap up and check in frequently to catch all the latest and greatest housing information and news. Thanks for stopping by!
