 Oddly enough, the inventory actually declined a little last month going against the annual trend. Seems that the early year market buzz has wained, and we have settled back into lacklustre market activity.  After a slow start to the season, and what appeared to be the start of a price correction trend, average sales prices bumped back up again to take the top spot overall. So although there is a lot to choose from out there, sellers are holding on to their prices.  Not really surprised here as sales continue to slump all over Halifax. Lowest sales count for February in over a decade, with a measly 305 sold on the books (not including private sales). So our high inventory/low sales trend continued on in February, and the woes of the down market continued to take their toll on all connections to the purchase and sale of property, not just sellers. Reporting from all areas of the industry, mortgage specialists, lawyers, insurance brokers, inspectors, Real Estate agents, bankers, have all chimed in with regards to the poor market and lack of activity. At this point, there is not a whole lot of people that I meet, including property buyers, that do not know the current state of affairs here in Halifax. Some looking to get in while the market is soft, and others waiting to get in until the market improves. Unfortunately, it looks the unforgiving market is going to hang around for a bit longer, and we can only hope that the Spring will turn things around with warmer weather and renewed interest.
