Is this summer a smart time to sell your home in Halifax–Dartmouth?
Yes—if you price strategically and market well. The latest data from the Nova Scotia Association of REALTORS® (NSAR) shows that buyer demand is strong, inventory is limited, and well-priced homes are moving fast. If you’ve been considering a sale, now may be the moment to explore your options—and I’d be happy to walk you through what that could look like.
June 2025 Market Snapshot
611 homes sold in Halifax–Dartmouth (+10.1% YoY)
Median sale price: $574,100 (+3.4%)
Average days on market: 26 (down from 52 in January)
32% of homes sold over asking, some by as much as $20K+
Inventory: ~1,570 active listings—only 2.6 months of supply
What does that mean for you as a homeowner? Serious buyer activity, especially in the $400K–$700K range, and a tight supply of homes in core areas.
Why Now Might Be the Right Time to Sell
If you’re in Halifax–Dartmouth and thinking about selling, this market could reward you—especially if your home is well-maintained, staged, and priced realistically. Homes are moving quickly, and multiple-offer situations are common in key price bands. But speed alone isn’t the strategy—it’s about timing, presentation, and knowing what buyers want this summer.
As a local Halifax REALTOR® and listing agent, I specialize in helping families navigate these decisions. A quick Zoom or phone call can help you understand where your home fits into today’s market—and what steps you’d need to take to list successfully.
What Buyers Are Looking For
Data from January through May shows that buyers are focused on value and location. Here’s where demand is strongest:
Detached homes between $500K–$650K
Updated townhomes with minimal maintenance
Properties within HRM with quick access to transit or amenities
If your home checks one or more of those boxes, it’s worth getting an expert opinion on pricing and prep. I offer free market consultations to help you explore what a summer sale could look like—no pressure, just practical advice.
Where the Halifax–Dartmouth Market is Headed
Most experts agree: conditions will stay seller-friendly into the fall, barring any major economic shifts. That said, overpricing is becoming a bigger risk. While many homes are getting strong offers, others are sitting—and that often comes down to pricing strategy and presentation.
My approach as your family real estate advisor is to help you net the best outcome with the least stress. That starts with understanding the numbers, the local trends, and your personal goals.
