Two weeks in a row where the inventory has gained in strength? You better believe it! Now, it's not exactly the listing dump we could use, but anything at this point certainly helps. This week did see a good amount of products come to market this week, which was a welcomed sight to wary buyers hoping to land a property to call their own. So it's the little engine that could market right now, and the hope is that we will crest the peak in Spring to get us over the buying doldrums the Halifax market currently finds itself in. I have heard rumblings that interest rate hikes could be a contributing factor to the late Winter push, and combine that with the late 2021 listing vacant, it has been a recipe for this super heated market we currently find ourselves in. As more listings come to market, the more buyers attention will be divided, giving a better chance for buyers to lock something up, and perhaps cool the overbid prices a little as a side effect. Speaking of overbids, those amounts crept up again this week on the six month median for both tracked products, which will likely continue to push higher until the market catches up to the current state of things. The last few weeks have been incredibly challenging and competitive for buyers across the board, especially in the entry level price points and anything within 20 minutes to the city. Spring is on the way, and the hope is that these early signs of listing life continue well into the year. Stay tuned to find out what happens, and stay informed! Thanks for stopping by!
