Market Rant
A surprising amount of new inventory additions this week, but I don't think you will hear any complaints from the weary buyers out there. New additions did seem to drag in the last couple of weeks, which sent the sales to list ratio way over annual averages, but with this weeks report, the balance has returned. Buyer activity is still strong at the moment, but with the limited inventory and time of year, most engaged in the current market have noticed a bit of a lull. Single family home averages took a hit this week, but Condo prices saw quite the opposite with a sustained value report. This time of year does tend to lend to odd reports and anomalies that do not represent the overall yearly market, but there are several factors during this time of year that account for that. Sometimes we get a ton of snow dumped on the city, sometimes there are holidays, sometimes there is simply nothing on the market for many buyers, and sometimes there is just no explanation for the market being ghosted by buyers. With the biggest holiday season on the horizon however, it does influence the market activity annually. It just seems to stand out a bit more this year with the level of uncertainty we are headed into 2022 with. All eyes on the new year at this point, and the Halifax Real Estate Blog has you covered, so be sure to stop by, or reach out if you have any questions! Thanks for stopping by, and stay safe out there!
