New listings usually average in the high 200's around this time of year, but underlying influences have caused a bit of a slip. Because of solid Buyer activity (reporting 49 points above this time last year), the sales to list ratio this week takes the crown for the highest report so far this year. It's been an interesting Summer to say the least. The last few weeks of sales reports have raised a few eyebrows, with some folks curious about the sudden dip below the $300k mark for listing and sales reports. Values are closely watched, and even a couple of weeks of negative gain has a few market watchers a bit uneasy. As you all probably know, the market has an ebb and flow quality, and the last few weeks have demonstrated this point quite perfectly. I guess it might be a bit unnerving to watch the one stat that is usually the rock, the solid foundation that most other stats dance around while it remains true. Historically, values see a marginal gain year over year in Halifax, and I can't imagine that changing in the foreseeable future. Time will tell however, so stay tuned to stay on top of things here in Halifax! Thanks for stopping by!
