So whats with all the westerners showing up in Nova Scotia this year? I thought everyone was leaving for the oilsands and the riches of Alberta. Well What I'm getting is that People that headed West in the 80's and 90's are getting ready to retire or just getting tired of the congestion.  Is it just me or are there other Canadian agents with first hand experience of this trend? Maybe it's the lure of the lobster over beef? Anyone?

Paul, anecdotally I've found that quite a few New Brunswickers are moving back, some with substantial funds from their equity in their western homes, which then buys them a lot more home in New Brunswick and more often with lower mortgage payments.
