Halifax Real Estate News Compliments of Andrew Perkins Issue 1.10 - October 2021   As another month comes to a close, the real estate market in Halifax is not letting up.  I feel like a broken record.  Prices continue to escalate, and listing inventory continues to diminish.  At the moment, we currently have only 434 homes, condos and duplexes for sale.  I can't stress enough; this is extremely low.   There doesn't seem to be an end in sight.   On a personal note,  I was able to get to Cabot Links for some golf, my second time this year. I love that place.  I also got away to Toronto for a few days and met up with some great friends I hadn't seen in a couple of years.  I noticed a big difference in Toronto this time.  A lot more buildings and the buildings are getting much more significant, kind of like what is happening in Halifax but on a much larger scale.    If you or your family and friends are looking for real estate assistance, Jordan and I are always here to assist.  Whether it's a general question about the market or looking to buy, sell or invest, we are always available.  All the best Andrew & Jordan   Halifax News   Hordes of Canadians moving East fuelling  'Atlantic revitalization' A record number of Canadians moved to the East Coast in the second quarter of 2021, according to new research from RBC Economics...
