Why work with a Halifax REALTOR® like myself? Well here is fantastic web site made by CREA, (the Canadian Real Estate Association) which spells out all the benefits of working with a REALTOR® if you are buying or selling a house.
Click the photo above to get started on this journey. Wow, CREA did a good job on this. Or here is the direct link to forward to others! http://www.howrealtorshelp.ca/
I thought people might find this interesting. Here is really neat interactive map of Canada from CBC News. It shows house prices and their changes over the last few years. The data shown is gathered from Statistics Canada and CREA. It is very interesting to see what home prices are throughout our great country. Click on the map on above to go to the full story and interactive map.

Well leave it to Google. They have made a very easy way to search for Real Estate in a givin area (including Nova Scotia). Just click on the link above or go to www.maps.google.com/realestate to check it out.
This is so much more easier than the clunky MLS system who always seems to be behind the times.
Pick out a few properties and I would be happy to show you them! I'm just a phone call away.

Opposed to my last post, this article from the Burnside News show the Real Estate Market in Halifax is on fire!
This stats are from the NSAR so they should be accurate. Click on the thumbnail above if you are interested in reading the full details.
More good numbers for the Canada resale home prices. Click on the thumbnail above to read the full article for Reuters.
Interesting if you read through it though that the numbers for Halifax were down. This seems to be opposite what the last several other articles I have published have stated. Only thing I can think of is that these numbers were from last June and I have been posting more resent information.

Are you a student in the HRM area? Have you thought of buying a house or condo to live in while you are here? Click on the thumbnail above to read the whole story. This is a great article from canada.com.
Here is some of the logic behind buying a house:
"One bedroom with a shared kitchen can easily generate $500 per month in rent. Multiply by three bedrooms and you've got $1,500 in rental income for that house. The price of a four-bedroom house can run from $250,000 to $400,000, but based on 20% down, the mortgage on a $300,000 home, for example, could be carried from the rent alone (based on today's interest rates and a 25-year amortization schedule)."
Give me a call now and I would be happy to find you a place.
After being away for a year in Ontario I must say what a delight to be back in Nova Scotia!
Well, I have now gone full circle back to being a Realtor with Family First Realty in Halifax! With my tremendous experience in the Home Inspection business I have much more to offer clients. I look forward to working with you.
