halifax real estate market: Condo Real Estate Market Update: February 2023.
- 03/06/23 08:21 AM
Condominium Year-to-date (YTD) real estate market stats for February 2023. I find YTD stats provide a wider scope to the marketplace. It eliminates skewed results reflected by many homes in similar price range going on the market at one time. Also more accurate are statistics providing median values instead of averages. It just minimizes the risk of skewed results and gives a better idea of the current marketplace.

halifax real estate market: Halifax, Nova Scotia Market Update - Nov 2022
- 12/05/22 11:01 AM
The market here in Halifax, Nova Scotia has continued its pattern as with previous months this year so I thought it would be interesting to see how this market compared to 2015. It was a strong Buyer's market and the surprise was how the median value for condos was higher than single family homes. It's no longer the case because we have a lot more condos that were built since. The increase in median values was a surprise too! Where else can you make $300,000 return on investment in just 7 years than real estate??!! … (1 comments)
halifax real estate market: First Winter with Hot Water Baseboard Heat?
- 11/20/22 12:58 PM
I love hot water baseboard heat and in Nova Scotia, you'll find many homes here that have it. It's an efficient heat and before the price of oil jumped, it used to be economical.

On to hot water baseboard heating; it's a wonderful warm heat unlike electric but there are some things you need to know; especially if you want to travel in Winter time. This short video provides a basic understanding so you'll need to call a … (1 comments)

We all knew the market was shifting because we could "feel" it.

Then taking a look at the year-to-date date for the third quarter, it shows just why it was different. Download the reports here.

- 01/19/22 07:46 AM
Just ramblings of a very frustrated agent trying to help the loveliest couple find their dream home. We found the perfect house, seriously, the PERFECT house. I thought for sure we had it because my clients pulled out all the stops to get it. Yet it wasn't enough. I am so thankful my clients are understanding and know that it is beyond my control that we don't get offers accepted. Every property has its own buyer pool and it changes for every property we look at so we just need to submit an offer based on what we believe the property to be … (10 comments)

Your windows are one of the most important features of your home. They provide you with natural light and visibility while also giving you the option to let fresh air in when your home gets stuffy.

A 5 Year Look at the Real Estate Market of Neighbourhoods in the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM). I'm often asked, "how's the market these days?" The short answer to this question is.
