The hot market is still here for homes listed under $600,000. Most single family homes have offer deadlines and are receiving multiple offers.
The average duration a property stays on the market before selling has also been on a downward trend. From a peak in January, with an average of 44 days and a median of 29 days on the market, we have seen a steady decrease. In June the average time a home stayed on was 22 days. The median time is only 6 days!
When comparing sales volume, home sales in June 2023 have declined by 8.3% from June 2022. This indicates a shift in market dynamics, and it's crucial for both buyers and sellers to be aware of these trends when making real estate decisions.
This month’s featured business in LF Bakery on Gottingen St. Their bread, croissants, other baked good are fantastic! Scroll to the bottom to enter the draw.

After two decades of a hole in the middle of downtown, there's finally promising news for the empty lot at the corner of Sackville and Hollis streets. The city has recently issued the building permit for the first stage of a new development project. This marks a new chapter for this previously unused space and represents the continued growth Halifax.
