As we wave goodbye to the tall ships this week in Halifax, so do we wave goodbye to higher property sales. Sales this week dropped ten points falling back down to a rough monthly sales to list ratio average of 37%. Lower number of new additions to the inventory week however we still managed to inflate that number by the lacklustre sales performance. Both single family home and Condo values fell this week  by a good amount and it marks the first time in months that single family home values have dropped below the 280k mark. Average days on market still remains positive with homeowners not waiting too long from list to sale, especially in the condo market. Make sure to come back next wednesday for the July monthly wrap up and don't forget to check out the statistic report on the current Halifax Multi-residential market below.
