 Halifax Residential Inventory March 2013 Looks like we have an average addition to the inventory this month. The slow climb continues its upward momentum as we approach the peak months for inflated inventory stats. Nothing out of the ordinary here.  Halifax Residential Average Sold Price Sale prices made a solid recovery this month taking back top spot overall. Coming in at just over the $270 mark, the value spread from five years ago is $50k. That means on average, homes five years ago where selling for $50,000 less then what they are selling for today. Thats a 10% annual gain average.  Halifax Residential Sales March 2013 Looks like we have another record breaking sales month, not in a good way. Sales have hit the decade low slump yet again this month for the second time since December 20. We are yet to break from this dismal sales performance since this time last year. Lots of speculation and guessing but thats all it is. The stats that I report are strictly from the Realtor® side of the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and do not take into consideration private sales or companies that do not trade on the MLS. That being said, I can't imagine that percentage would influence these reports to the point of reversing the slump. Just to hammer the point home, in March of 2007 there was 693 sales. Thats a difference of 332, almost twice as much as this month! Things should start to move with the warmer weather and seasonal trend, but at this rate we are looking at a repeat of last year. Whats your thoughts on the Halifax sales slump?

If I'm reading this right, sales are down 34% from March 2012 (552 sales) to March 2013 (361 sales). I also see about 10 months of declining sales numbers...

Sales are tanking in Halifax, just like they are across the whole country. A reduction in sales volume is always followed by a reduction in price. The housing bubble that has been forming for the past ten years is bursting before our eyes. If you have a house on the market, it's time to cut your price and get out before this gets really ugly!

My feel is that its not a "bursting bubble" merely a hiccup or market correction. Lots of funny stuff going on in the national arena which could be cause for reducing market confidence. Thanks for the comment!
