Halifax Real Estate News Compliments of Andrew Perkins Issue 1.9 - September 2021   As the leaves change colors in our beautiful province... As the leaves change colors in our beautiful province, so does the real estate... typically! In past years, the real estate market would be flooded with new listings, and we would be entering another busy fall market.  However, things are certainly different this year. Not many homes are coming to market, and they are being snapped up quickly when they do. This past month, I sold one condo which received ten offers, and another one with 12! Condos don't typically get that much action in this strong seller's market, but I think some people are looking to condos since they can't get into a single-family home -  there is just too much competition.  Prices are still on the rise as the inventory is limited. At the moment, we currently have 492 homes, condos, and duplexes for sale. Again, this is very, very low, and you can expect the seller's market to continue well into the fall. On a personal side, this past month, I was able to get away on a few trips. I was in Lunenburg again for another great show at Lightship Brewing - if you haven't been to this place, I highly recommend it. I had a great trip to PEI.  I got to see my son, his girlfriend, and their two beautiful dogs. Hard to believe that he just turned 30 years old. I played golf with a few good buddies, and I was also able to get to St John's NL to visit good friends I hadn't seen since before the pandemic started. It is sure great to be able to travel again! I hope everyone has a great Fall; enjoy the changing of the leaves, and if you ever need any real estate assistance, we are here to help.
