That is the question many in the industry have pondered this week, including me! I want to say that annual trend has lead us here, and there really should be no surprise regarding the environment we find ourselves in, but there seems to be something else afoot. Usually, buyer activity wains around this time, but we still have a good surplus of buyers out there looking for properties that just aren't coming. That, or the listings that do come to market, especially on the peninsula, have come at a premium price forcing buyers to turn away on principal alone. Nova Scotia isn't an Ontario or British Columbia market by any means, and history would show that people here are not about to get wrapped up in the boom bust type market of such metropolises. If that means waiting out the storm of high prices, most are willing to wait, but some unfortunately cannot. I have talked before about people who were caught with the 2011/12 market, and it has become quite the bitter pill to swallow for buyers in that time who overpaid, now years later. There seems to be sellers testing the market at a premium to see if anyone bites, and those are the most dangerous for buyers to bite on, especially if they don't have someone who can help them navigate the market. Can't blame sellers though, the rule of thumb is to buy low and sell high, and that is just what this market has provided at this point. We will see how long it lasts, but it does seem like the wind is out of the sails this week. Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget, if you have any questions I'm just a call or click away.
