Listings reported much lower than last week (although still higher than last year at this time), and sales slumped as well. Buyer activity reported positively, but even that seems a little lacklustre this week comparably. Overall inventory took a slight uptick this week, and is looking much healthier than the last three years really, so that is a good sign of things to come (hopefully). Both single family homes, condos and vacant land stats are reporting higher numbers than last year at this time, which I'm sure is a welcome sight to any buyers out there at the moment. The hyper competitive price bracket bar is adjusting as well, where we started to see inventory padding over the $800k mark, we are starting to see stale options sitting at $700k and even $600k around certain areas of the city. The 400k-500k is still quite competitive, but even those price brackets are seeing much less activity overall as well, to include offers. There does seem to be a bit of buyer hesitancy out there at the moment, perhaps due to more property options, or maybe buyers also know that more is on the way, so they can take their time. Either way, the overall feel out there at the movement is not one of urgency, but that might change as the Spring comes to an end and the purchase or sale needs to happen. It's been a chess match out there this year, so stay tuned to the blog to see how it all goes down! Thanks for stopping by!

The first full week of May comes out swinging, with a big dump of new property candidates for hungry buyers, and hungry buyers for sellers to showcase their property too! Sales were underwhelming this week, but that is a reflection of the last few weeks really, but you can expect that number to rise sharply in the coming weeks with the current rate of activity. The annual trend is that the Spring market will always have what seems to be a lot of options, but it is also met with a balanced (or more) demand for products as relocations are in full swing, as well as other folks who need to move for various other reasons. Most like to be settled before Summer hits so they can enjoy it, so the push to be in their new residence really becomes the main focus during the Spring months. As these buyers purchase property and the demand wains, the market cools and we see activity start to slow. Good news for buyers who are perhaps looking to get into the market, and who don't; want to compete as intensely, but the market is anything but predictable these days so you never know what will happen.

Oddly enough, one of the fastest growing inventory products are vacant lots. All over HRM, especially in rural areas, vacant lots continue to pop up each week, wether it is from developers shedding some weight, or private owners looking to offload the acres sitting dormant for years. Either way you slice it, the last 4 weeks has seen an unusually high increase in such a short time. Another stat to note was price changes, cresting 100 this week, which has to be the largest number of price changes in a single week since before the pandemic. A quick look at the change sheet, and they are all reductions, which gets back to classic property marketing vs the uptick revision that trended during the pandemic. Basically, while the market was in such an unpredictable and changing state, a property was sometimes listed at or just below market value to get multiple offers, in an attempt to drive the purchase price well over the asking price. When that didn't happen, sellers sale price expectations were not met, so prices sometimes adjusted upwards to where the sale "want" price was. That trend was very popular in 2022/23 while prices cooled, especially in certain areas of the city. You do see this happen from time to time these day, but it's definitely not as often now, even compared to the beginning of the year. Prices continue to stabilize across HRM, and although there was an uptick in values in the first quarter, the anticipation is that there will be some softening in the second. Time will tell and I have you covered, so be sure to stay tuned the blog to stay on top of the Halifax market! Thanks for stopping by!

Good amount of new listings this week, coupled with the strongest sales week we have seen this year so far makes for a positive environment for both groups. Accepted offers were down slightly compared to last week, but still reporting strong for the time of year. One of the surprising stats this Spring has been the value bumps in two tracked products. While condo numbers have somewhat held steady this year so far, the Single Family Home values have gained a good amount, with recent spikes over the past few weeks. Both listing and selling prices for the six month median single family home stats have gained $25,000 in a short four week timespan. Furthermore, these values have also gained $50,000, from last year at this time for Single Family Homes, and $30,000 for Condominiums, which seems to contradict general speculation for the Halifax market. It's the little market that could, and recovery from the pandemic market has had a pretty soft landing so far. Still lacking affordable home options in the city, and anything that lists sub $500k is seeing elevated activity for this time of year. The supply is better than last year so far however, and buyer activity does appear to be a bit less as well. Headed to the defining weeks of the 2024 Spring market, so stay tuned to the blog to see which way things go! Thanks for stopping by!

Things are heating up in Halifax, with listings starting to stream to the market, and hungry buyers gobbling up the new selections! First time all year we have seen an inventory addition of over 300 properties, and one of the biggest weeks for sales as well. The softening of sale price seems to have halted, as we have seen steady gains week over week since the begging of the year. Some weeks have had slight dips in their list/selling prices, however, values have continued to push higher each week, including the single family home six month median prices which has taken the largest increase. We haven't seen value gains this fast since the pandemic market, so the hope is that seasonal trend is lending a bit of a unique growth environment at the moment and we will see some cooling in the future. Other than the usual Spring blitz, many of the other statistics remain a bit sleepy, which will definitely change in the coming weeks as they are defined to be influenced by the current activity. Time will tell though, and I have you covered so be sure to stay tuned to the blog to stay informed! Thanks for stopping by!

Interesting enough, there wasn't a ton of weekly sales to chip away at the inventory, but the culprit for the change is buyer activity, which reported the highest it has been this year so far as well! Not surprised that buyer activity is elevated this week, we finally have some decent weather and there are property options out there to look at as well! We are still seeing competitive situations for turn-key property, especially anything listed under $600k, but there does seem to be some padding in the $800k+ brackets. Prices reported high this week, which could come from the buyer demand, and six month median prices for single family homes jumped again this week, increasing 10k in a short 4 week timespan. Prices and demand are on the rise, but is this a seasonal trend issue which will cool in the coming weeks, or are buyers edging a bit more pressure to the market before things change and competition becomes more fierce?

New listings reported the highest we have seen so far this year, but overall, we fell short against last year at this time. Buyer activity slumped a bit this week as well compared to March, but with more and more property candidates hitting the market, no doubt this will pick up shortly! Values in both tracked products cooled this week, which seems to be the battle week to week as the playing field continues to level out, so it's a mixed bag at the moment. The annual trend is that the Spring market will always have what seems to be a lot of options, but it is also met with a balanced (or more) demand for products as relocations are in full swing, as well as other folks who need to move for various other reasons. Most like to be settled before Summer hits so they can enjoy it, so the push to be in their new residence really becomes the main focus during the Spring months. As these buyers purchase property and the demand wains, the market cools and we see activity start to slow, usually around Summer. Good news for buyers who are perhaps looking to get into the market, and who don't; want to compete as intensely, but the market is anything but predictable these days so you never know what will happen.

For the fourth consecutive week there was an overall inventory gain, and the second time in as many weeks, the weekly additions hit over 200 products. Sales edged up slightly this week, but property receiving and accepting offers stayed steady, which is a bit surprising given the fact more available properties = more options for buyers = more sales, but that doesn't seem to be the case at the moment. Is the buyer pool shrinking? or perhaps more properties are sticking around depending on pricing and location. In most areas close in and around the core buyer activity is still quite strong, with multiple offers still happening, causing sale prices to topple over asking price. This trend is not uncommon in Halifax as of late, especially for certain locations and prices. Even before the pandemic market Halifax was seeing this type of situation, the difference now is that the overspend is not as wild and buyers seem to have a bit more patience thanks to the cooling market and market deflation measures taken by the government. Still early yet, but maybe this will be the year that we see a return of regular Halifax market trend.

It's off to a slow start, but definitely a few more listings this week, pushing over 200 new products to market the highest addition this year so far. This trend should continue as we hit the second quarter, which I'm sure is a welcome sight to current buyers out there scouring options. Last year at this time there was a pause in listing activity for some reason, which caused a heated sellers market for the first half of the year really. Potentially, the backlog was created by the issue that could easily have solved it, more inventory! With homeowners looking to make a local move, there was really no options to allow the property ladder climb. Anyone looking to make a move locally just couldn't find a lot of options, and competing with buyers that didn't have a property to sell likely caused some disappointment. This chunk of missing inventory added to the already measly market offering, solidifying the high prices that didn't have to adjust due to high buyer pressure. It did get better for buyers out there, and the end of the year really showed some promise. The speculation going into 2024 was that we would see a return of typical Halifax market trend, and so far so good. If things continue as predicted, look to the coming weeks to pad the stats, especially in the listing option department.

If you look closely, there are small indications of a crawling market, like the increased price changes, the slowly increasing inventory, and mediocre new listing additions. On the other side of that coin, there are positive indicators, like the increased number of listings under agreement this week, the lacking expired/cancelled properties, and sales values, all of which are sending mixed messages about the current market environment. Buyer interest is piqued, but overpaying is not in the vocabulary of the current buyer mob. Even with limited choice, the current mentality seems to be a patient one, which has been carved from the bedrock of the pandemic market. Being on the fringe of the cooling market, savvy buyers take stock of current market conditions, especially since the winds of change are still blowing. Historically, the coming weeks will be the most exciting to buyers, lots of options and a chance to pick up a property without having to bet the farm. No doubt buyers are ready for a change, but much like last year, that chance might not come until much later in the year.
