Halifax Real Estate News

Compliments of Andrew Perkins

Issue 1.5 - May 2021
 
The Real Estate Market & Lockdown... 

The Spring Market is moving right along in Halifax. With the recent restrictions the Nova Scotia Government imposed this past month we saw a noticeable dip in the number of sales. The inventory remains very low as a lot of sellers are sitting on the sidelines to see how things play out. As I am writing this, there are only 424 active listings: this includes all single-family homes, duplexes and condominiums currently for sale in Halifax and surrounding areas. To put that in perspective, we typically have close to 2000 active listings. In the coming months, IF the government lifts the restrictions and Atlantic Bubble reopens I think we will see a flood of new listings come to market and the buyers will be back in full force. I expect the summer to be very busy. Here’s to hoping low case counts and a return to some normalcy in the month of June.  

Stay Safe!
Andrew Perkins
