Although there has been some positive results in some areas of the Country it would appear that the overall effect was negative. Even before the changes occurred our sales in Halifax had already started to taper off, but look at the stats and decide for yourself those changes have become factors in our current market condition. June 2012 was the month that sent home sales in Halifax plummeting to record lows, and since then have not been able to fully recover. Coincidence? We have also gone from record low inventory, to record highs in a single year with the single family home inventory climbing 26% and condos inflating 42%. It would seem that other areas are growing as well, days on market is averaging three months and the absorption rate is now 10 weeks longer then last year. Back to the days on market statistic. If you are in Dartmouth, you may be pleased to know that properties are selling in half the time compared to those in Halifax and Bedford (Including Sackville up to Fall River) and are traditionally so. However, average sales in Dartmouth are on average $50,000 lower then the other regions so value may encourage sales. That and the fact that both Dartmouth and Halifax combined have less active listings the the Bedford+ areas so this value is obviously causing demand to an extent. Thanks for stopping by!

Sales dropping, inventory at an all-time high, and peak prices.
