Well, perhaps not cooled, just a bit more balanced. Activity has definitely tapered off at the moment, and it seems both buyer and seller have taken a little break for now. Hard to tell exactly what is happening in some areas, but the market does have a confused feel to it in some places. Depending on the location, multiple offers (although less of them) are still happening, but some homes who attempted to price to the "new" market values find themselves a little neglected. One of the main questions from the start of this was "when will it hit the ceiling?". Of course, that is almost an impossible prediction, but watching the listing trends and list/sale prices are a great way to stay ahead of the curve. The market value in HRM increased exponentially in a very short time, and many are saying that these prices are here to stay, but I'm a bit more skeptical. If this pandemic market cools off and resets to annual trend, then a balance should occur. This means that the small number (comparably) of homes that sold during this tumultuous time have set peaks, some of which that are quite lofty. When they go to re-sell in an average market, they will find themselves up against properties that have a ton of equity in them if not acquired during this time. To me, this indicates a drop is on the way when the market does finally cool. Ultimately, the longer the market carries on the less this will be an impacting factor, but if we are in the midst of the change, resale could be a potential issue in the short term. All current signs, like the first significant SFH 6 month average list price drop, are pointing in this direction, especially when you compare the stats from last year (except prices and DOM), but the pandemic market has been anything but predictable so there is a good chance I could be eating my words in a few weeks.
