April’s year-over-year comparisons might look absurdly high to you, but there’s a reason for that - our current hot market activity is being compared to last year’s market when the COVID-19 pandemic brought communities to a standstill and put a pause on housing markets across our province.

Join NSAR's CEO, Roger Boutilier, and Suzanne Gravelle, REALTOR and Chair of NSAR’s Provincial/Municipal Affairs Committee, for this Halifax Chamber of Commerce Business Support Series. They'll discuss how the housing crisis will impact YOU and REALTOR solutions to solve it. Register today and submit your question: http://ow.ly/AqO450EEtC0

Get the most out of your spring cleaning - see what home maintenance tasks are recommended for the short, and long, term health of your home.

Having a home has never been more important. With a housing shortage in our province, it is time to step up and make sure everyone has a place to call home. In 2021, we will continue to advocate for everyone in our community to have safe, accessible, affordable places to live.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

The real estate market in Nova Scotia was in 2020. Despite a pandemic, Nova Scotia recorded the best year on record for home sales in our province. Sales are high, prices are up, and inventory remains low - if you're planning to enter the market, talk to your REALTOR about how to navigate it in 2021!
