We didn't crest above the 600 new addition mark as the previous 2 years this week, but we still managed a healthy gain once more on the market. Sales have somewhat stabilized and are averaging around 115 in a week, but with 531 new listings, makes it a bit of a challenge to get noticed. The sales to list ratio fell another point this week, but strangely enough, the absorption rate declined. Values for both products remain steady, but the both experienced smaller averages this week, which has been the ebb and flow of sale prices this year so far. So not a whole lot of change to the market, and certainly no indicators of improvements. One thing we have going for us this week is our location! According to a recent zombie survival analysis, Halifax would be the fourth best place to live out the remainder of your days during a zombie apocalypse. Certainly the ocean would be of great help, and our vastly dispersed, and rural population. Coming in at number one was Edmonton, AB, with cold climate and military to stave off the hoards of hungry "walkers", and Windsor, ON coming in "dead" last. Is that something to add to the features list of your listing? most certainly not. But it is food for thought for all of those living on the peninsula! haha. Another bit of news that I wanted to toss at my readers this week, is the article posted in the CH regarding our market here in Halifax. If you have time, give it a read! I would be interested to hear what my HREB readers have to say about it. Thanks for stopping by! WEEKLY ADOGTABLE Hi, my name is Tony.
