Halifax Real Estate News Compliments of Andrew Perkins Issue 1.4 - April 2021   Spring is Here!  Spring is here, and the Halifax Real Estate Market is as busy as it has been in previous years. Springtime in Halifax usually means more homes are beginning to hit the market, and things ramp up. This past month, however, with the new restrictions imposed by the government of Nova Scotia, we have noticed a slight slow down in the market. Fewer listings are coming to the market than normal, and bidding wars for houses have seemed to temper slightly. One of the main drivers in our market the last couple of years is the out-of-province buyer. They have been snapping up properties at a record pace. With the new restrictions in place, I think this buyer is in a holding pattern, thus slightly slowing the market. Will this change once the restrictions are lifted? Only time will tell. Tune into our newsletter next month to see how the month plays out.   Cheers, -Andrew Perkins Halifax News   Are you a house-hunting millennial?
