Albertans can't get enough of Halifax Condos.

In the eighties and nineties Alberta was the place go and make money! Anyone with a trade seemed to head out to land of opportunity. it's a  trend that is even more magnetizing today making Nova Scotia the oldest overall by demographics in the country. 

Well - The people who ventured west in the eighties and nineties made their money,invested in housing and saw incredible gains over the last 10 - 15 -20 years. So - as soon as the markets start to slow they decided to sell and head home.

Most with equity ranging from $500,000 plus. So why not head east and invest $250-$300,000 in a brand new condo and put the rest in the bank. A few might also pick up a place in Florida for the winter months. Its a trend that is happening and this year will be no exception. This year we have The Gladstone project with approx 34 left, The Hydrostone with approx 20. Cunard st. with Armoury square should be ready late in the year. Plenty left down at Bishops Landing.And lots more.

Downtown living is popular where you can walk to the popular historic halifax waterfront . There is also a movement afoot where people want to live off the penninsula and close to the major arteries and shopping. ie : Mont Royal and Regency park condominiums.

See my condo directory at my ever evolving Condo blog and have a look at the various buildings and see what they have to offer.

Paul,

It's very interesting how the young men went west and yet now they are in desperate need of tradespeople in the east too.

My two oldest sons (22 and 24) moved to Kelowna a few years ago and love it there....my youngest son is 20 and finishing his second year in university then he is going to go out there for the summer too.

For some reason that old 'go west young man' still rings true loud and clear across the land.

Halifax is so advanced with all of the condo developments....we've just started to have more and more of them here in the past few years...there's still a major shortage though.

Nova Scotia has the oldest population of all the provinces. With the young leaving and all the people retiring it will be a burden on our health care system for sure.
