Halifax Real Estate News Compliments of Andrew Perkins Issue 1.3 - March 2021 Happy Spring!  Typically in the Halifax real estate market, this is the time of the year when things start to heat up. Sellers start listing their homes, and buyers are out in full force. This year we see a different trend.  With the strong seller's market we are experiencing, buyers are having a tough time finding their dream home.  I have personally been involved in many multiple offer situations with over 25 buyers bidding on a house and the sale price sometimes going $100,000 + over the listing price. Yes, you read that right.   In the coming months and maybe longer,  I don't see this trend slowing down. As of March 16,  2021, there are only 396 homes and condos for sale,  which is extremely low for a population of close to 450,000 people. What does all this mean? If you are a buyer with a budget of $350,000, you will need to be looking in the $250,000 to $275,000 range to be competitive if it's a hot property.  If you are a seller, congratulations, you have basically won the lottery. -Andrew Perkins Halifax News   18 Regions In Canada Where You Can Buy A House For Less Than The National Average House hunters, rejoice!

Learn more Our New Brand   Over the past couple of months, we have been working hard to combine all aspects of our business into one cohesive brand.  We are so excited to finally reveal our new branding to you.  Our business is divided into three sectors:   - General Halifax Real Estate - Speciality Halifax Condominium Resources (Halifax Condos) - Halifax Property Management (Prep Properties)   We decided to keep all logos consistent and simply change the initials of each sector to exhibit that our values and customer service remain constant among the three. We value professionalism, knowledge and customer service in all areas of our business. We chose the symbolic roof of a house as our main graphic to not only state that we work in real estate, but to also illustrate that we protect our clients, and treat them and their investments as if they were part of our own families. Under our roof, our clients will always be given the most useful information possible and their needs will be always be cared for during the exciting journey of purchasing or selling real estate. We chose the colours red and grey to align with Keller Williams Select Realty: the real estate firm in which we operate. We are very proud to be a part of the Keller Williams family and believe that they give Real Estate Agents the best tools, technology and support to succeed. We hope that you like our new logos and branding and are as excited as we are for the next step in our journey to serve Halifax!     Our Listings Check out our latest listing!   Current Mortgage Rates Courtesy of Shawna Snair with Premiere Mortgage Centre   Follow Shawna for more great mortgage tips and info!   Legal Advice Courtesy of Stephen Ling & Jillian O'Donnell with Landry McGillivray Law   Contact Landry McGillivray for more advice!   Recent Blog Articles   11 Restaurants You Need to Try in Halifax!
