Maybe its the Tall Ships! Inventory shrank again this week thanks to a smaller then usual new listing addition, a decent showing in sold listings and sellers pulling off the market. As you can see by the number of sales this week, sales are still in positive flow and with the number of properties on the market dwindling, we may be approaching a sellers market sooner then anticipated. If you stopped by the blog earlier in the week I shared a few articles of interest. One last week which gave the nod to officially commence the first of many ship building contracts here in Halifax and the other this week that discussed the projected economy impact that the contracts will have on our already hot market. Something to the tune of 12,000 jobs over the next four years. Still no real signs of that impact yet and we haven't seen any signs of the dreaded "real estate market boom" but the face of the Halifax real estate market has changed, including service.

On a different note. Be sure to get out and take in the Nova Scotia Tall Ship Festival going on in Halifax now and concludes on monday with a "parade of sale". A great event for all ages with lots of things to do and see! Details and schedule of events can be found HERE.
