We should be shooting straight up as we ascend the inventory ladder right now, but it seems the market has a different idea. Now, there was a marginal gain this week, but definitely not the increases that we are used to seeing week to week around this time of year. It is also certainly against the grain for single family home numbers to take a slide around this time, but here we are. What we are used to seeing, however, is strong sales. This week was no exception and has the strongest performance of the year so far with a whopping 232 sales, which also crested the April norm as well. Looks like we have more of that on way though, with a solid 250 properties that received and accepted offers this week. All of that, and we aren't even in the peak of the season yet! The incredible thing this week is the absorption rate, which dropped another 3 weeks off the top. Coming close to half of what it was at this time last year, which is an incredible event for the Halifax market. Exciting times indeed! Stay tuned to the blog to stay up to date, and thank for stopping by! The Weekly Adogtable! Sweet Annie is a bit timid at first but it only takes her a minute to warm up and she becomes a silly, playful goofball. When left alone Annie has been known to eat things that upset her belly. To be specific, socks! Annie required surgery to remove a sock she had ingested so her new home would need to be mindful of what they leave lying around. Poor Annie was quite sick but would likely make the same mistake again if given the opportunity. Crate training would be recommended to keep her and your belongings safe. Annie would love to go to a home with children no younger than 12 years of age and no other dogs.

Marginal inventory gain overall, but a couple products reduced this week scuffing the overall report. Not a huge dump of inventory to the market this week either, but buyer activity was in full force again with an above average showing of listings that turned from active to pending. Not a ton of expiries or cancelled listings this week either, and how you can blame them? I know that if I was selling in this market I would hold out too! Chances of selling are quite good right now anyways, and pretty much guaranteed in certain areas of the city, so it's no wonder that there wasn't too many listings dropping from the market in that fashion. I'm sure there's a few properties that made this an issue, but there is now statistics reflecting the above asking prices rampant in certain areas. Other factors, like additions to a new construction base price can sway this as well, but this is the first time I have seen the average sales prices flipped. The median value did the same this week (7 days back) at $290k and $294. So yeah, a bit of a mixed bag this week. Looks like it's going to be a Spring to remember! Stay tuned to stay on top of things, and thanks for stopping by! The Weekly Adogtable! Ginger is an ~8 year old spayed female amstaff , bull mastiff mix.

Looks like April 1st might not only be April fools day, but the unofficial start to the Spring market inventory launch? Listings flooded to the market this week, and a stampede of for sale signs found their rightful property injecting new blood into the market for weary buyers to welcome. Still, lots of sales, and even more listings that came under contract this week saying that there is still a buyer buldge out there looking for the right property. Multiple offers are still rampant in many areas of HRM, with some listings selling ten's of thousands over listing price. Which makes me wonder if properties being undervalued that badly, or is it that buyers who have lost a few bids are ready to pay a premium to finally get a property to accept their offer? Although eh inventory is on the rise for the second straight week, things are lean around the hot spots, getting snapped up within ours of going live. Definitely a challenging landscape for buyers out there, and possible one for Sellers too as things continue to change at a fevered pace. One seldom seen in Halifax/Dartmouth anyways. Stay tuned to the blog to stay on top of the market and keep informed! Thanks for stopping by! The Weekly Adogtable! Jack has two luxating patellas and is awaiting surgery to repair this.

Finally, after a few shaky weeks of reduction, the Spring inventory gain gets off the ground with a decent overall increase this week. It's not huge, but it's a start! All tracked products increased their numbers this week, with single family homes seeing the most. Good news for Buyers, but it's going to take a bit more than one week of half decent additions to make an impact for the bulk of them waiting to find the right property. Seems listings weren't the only numbers are the rise, overall sales reported higher than average, and so too did the number of properties that received and accepted offers (pending), the sales to list ratio, and product values across the board. All good things! The numbers you want decreasing are still doing so too, like the absorption rate, time on market, the number of products retreating from the market and most importantly...the absorption rate. So it's back to "business as usual" for the hot Halifax market, so stay tuned to the blog to keep tabs on things as the market season heats up! Thanks for stopping by! The Weekly Adogtable!

After two consecutive weeks of inventory gain, we are back on the decline with all tracked products reducing in numbers this week. It has been an odd statistic to track this year, since we usually trend in the upwards direction around this time, but since the beginning of the year, inventory has been leaning in a new direction...downwards. Lots of good activity this week as well, but mostly activity that we are starting to get acclimatized to here in Halifax, like solid sales number, buzzing buyer activity, and less time on market for sellers. Still lots of buyer frustration out there in areas though (especially on the peninsula), but it is starting to seep into other zones and communities as well. Due to this market environment, the absorption rate has been shedding weeks at a rapid pace, and we have found ourselves a full six weeks off the rate of last year at this time. Values are still reporting strong overall, especially single family homes, that are really reporting better in all areas from this year at this time. The Spring market is upon us and it looks to heat up even more, so stay tuned to the blog to keep your finger on the pulse of the real estate market here in Halifax! Thanks for stopping by!

Even though the inventory gain was very marginal, it still fell into the increasing trend, which is the way the market usually goes around this time of year. New listing additions weren't a huge influence this week, although they helped, and sales reported higher than average, so you have to wonder where the numbers are coming from. Vacant lot inventory increased this week, so too did single family homes, but Condo inventory decreased significantly, so you would think that with the amount of sales and fewer new additions that inventory would have balanced out, I guess we came pretty close. The above average sales activity looks as though it will continue into next week, at the least, as the listings that reported conditional pending stayed above the norm again this week. So it looks like it's "business as usual" again, where "usual" means increased sales, lack of inventory, less time on market for sellers, and lots of buyer activity. I, for one, welcome this new market, and I hope it sticks around for the foreseeable future! Thanks for stopping by, and be sire to check in to stay on top of the market! The Weekly Adogtable!

Finally! All it took was a snow storm for the inventory to take off! I'm sure that wasn't planned, it just so happened that mother nature had other ideas last week. All tracked products increased this week, with condo's making the largest percentage gain. Despite the frigid temps and hazardous conditions, properties moved this week without much variation from the previous few weeks. If anything, there was actually a few more than we saw at the beginning of February, which just goes to show that sometimes even blizzards can't halt progress. Single largest addition week of the year so far, but those listings were met with a positive reception and open arms of buyers, especially those who have been looking for a while. The expired/cancelled pool is still quite low this week, but we haven't hit the Spring market yet and it's still quite early in the year, so the expectation is that those numbers will remain low as long as the market performs the way it has been. With the Winter finally winding down, the Spring market is next up on the docket, and I for one am interested to see which direction things go. Stay tuned to stay up to date, and thanks for stopping by! The Weekly Adogtable! Yvor is a typical bull dog but with an adorable quirky neurological condition that makes his mannerisms seem uncoordinated. Weighing only 42 lbs, this boy is petite but makes up for it in personality. Good with cats and dogs with proper introductions. Has been around horses and kids. Suspected food allergy from being fed poor diet and needs a good teeth cleaning. Loly is a female aged 6 years old with medium energy. She is spayed, microchipped , vaccinated and on parasite prevention. Loving temperament and thinks she is a lap dog. Pet free clicker and positive reinforcement trained. No pets or kids for Loly as she is anxious. Can be head strong but we figured out she will work for her food. Yvor has a barely detectable heart murmur (2/6) like lots of bull dogs and boxers typically have. He is learning basic obedience and is happy-go-lucky pup that just wants to meet everyone he sees.

After two short weeks of marginal inventory gain, this weeks reduction pretty much erased what little increase there was. All tracked products reduced this week, with single family homes being the most significant. Could it be the lack of new products added this week, the relentless sales, the weather? Whatever it is, 2019 has started off on a very unusual note, with no clear indication that things are about to change back anytime soon. Speaking of unrelenting sales, it looks like another chunk of products are about to switch over to the sale pile according to the listings that went conditional/pending this week. So, despite the frosty blast of winter this week, the market here in Halifax remains red hot. Expired listings are down quite significantly this week compared to last year at this time as well, which comes as no surprise since things are flying off the shelves. Not even the Spring market and it has basically been performing like it since the beginning of the year. It will be interesting to see what the Spring market actually brings! Stay tuned to find out! Thanks for stopping by! The Weekly Adogtable! Dobby was found as a stray. He is tolerant with touching all over, is crate trained, and barks to greet you. He is excited with other dogs, but has a fearful disposition of strangers. Dobby is playful and affectionate once he gets to know you, but is anxious and fearful of new things. We often see this with dogs who need confidence boosts, which will be worked on while he is in our care. His new family will need to build his trust and confidence as well. Dobby pulls on his leash (a freedom harness will help with this) and is selective with toys.
