The after March break inventory rush has begun! The soon to be hottest time of the year ramps up with a big new listings stat and biggest hike in the inventory in a single week all year. I talked last week about the reality of multiple offers and the tip over to a "sellers" market. This week has been a confirmation of those theories and discussions with industry confirmation and stories starting to surface. One of the most shocking was a property in a desirable sector of the market that commanded 8 offers and almost 70k over asking price. Its a strange and exciting time in the Halifax real estate market right now. Lots of opportunity and excitement, also a need for caution and thorough research.
