I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that it was a particularly drawn out cold season this year, and have welcomed the delayed warmth with enthusiasm. Not saying that weather is a direct factor when it comes to buying and selling homes, but you know, it helps. I don't think that it's coincidental that with the rise in mercury that inquiries, showing appointments, and overall market buzz is up. I don't think there was one person I talked with this week that didn't mention the increase in overall activity, and this comes from several real estate, or related personnel. Either way you slice it, you may think it's a hoax or a coincidence, but I believe weather has some sort of affect on the market whether psychological or factual. To what extent is the question. Several more listings pilled onto the market this week, and even though the sales week wasn't terrible, it wasn't enough to break even or reduce the pile. This seems to be our direct link to the unstoppable absorption rate, which saw the addition of 6 weeks to the overall total. NOTABLE NEWS The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board is rapping Halifax Water for forcing property owners to prove whether they should be charged a so-called ditch tax, says this article. The provincial regulator said Wednesday it should be up to the water utility to prove if a property owner has been appropriately charged for stormwater services, rather than the other way around. Halifax Regional Municipality is forging ahead with plans to pave gravel roads in Cow Bay despite property owners speaking out against the initiative, says this article. Wayne Bell said most residents in the rural area near Cole Harbour don’t want the roads paved, but the municipality has ignored them. WEEKLY ADOGTABLE Hello everyone :) My name is Otis.
