Halifax Real Estate News


Compliments of the Andrew Perkins Real Estate Team

Issue 2.6 - June 2022
 

Happy Summer.

Halifax is going to be the place to be this summer. Lot’s of great events; check out our recent blog article for more information.
 
With the first half of the year over, I figure it’s a good time to make some comparisons over the last three years. In 2020 from January 1 to June 30, we had 2218 sales, the average price was $337,290, and the average number of days on the market was 37. In 2021 number of sales was 3262, the average price was $433,720, and the average number of days on the market was 37. This year the number of sales was 2780, the average price was $555,820, and the average days on the market was 19. Since 2020, that is a staggering 67% increase in the average price. Personally, I don’t think this is sustainable.  

In the last several months, we have seen many new listings coming to market. We currently have 726 single-family homes, duplexes and condos for sale. If you follow our newsletter, you would know this number was under 200 back in March. This is a good sign for buyers. I expect we will see a slow down in the market in the coming months. With inflation at all-time highs and the rising interest rates, it is bound to happen.

With the crazy market of the last two years it may be a good time for an updated market analysis on your home. Feel free to reach out to us, and we will prepare one for you. Buyers, be patient; more inventory is coming to market and giving you more options than you had 3-4 months ago. 

We wish everyone a great summer. 

Andrew & Jordan

Halifax Real Estate Market
May 2022


 

We have noticed in our day-to-day business that the market is starting to shift, and the numbers support this. The number of active listings has almost doubled since our last market report! This past month has had the most months of inventory in both the single-family home and condo markets since before the pandemic began. This is excellent news for Halifax buyers.
