If you’ve been wondering whether now is the right time to sell your home in Nova Scotia—the answer might be yes.
According to the latest stats from NSAR, home sales across the province are up 1.7%, and the average price just hit a record high of $477,925, up 2% from last year. The MLS® HPI benchmark climbed to $430,400, reflecting real, sustainable demand.
We’re currently in what’s called a “balanced market”—where neither buyers nor sellers have a clear advantage—but Nova Scotia is putting its own spin on it. Prices are still climbing, inventory is up slightly, and homes are moving steadily.
There are now 3.9 months of inventory available—more choice for buyers, but not so much that sellers lose their edge. It’s a sweet spot that allows for thoughtful decisions and strong returns.
Sales are also gaining momentum. In April alone, we saw 1,025 homes sold, a 3.4% increase from the same time last year and a 25% jump from March.
This current market indicates that if you’re thinking about making a move, you can sell with confidence. Prices are strong, demand is steady, and there’s room to breathe. It’s a perfect time to prep your home, price it strategically, and start planning your next move.
If you’re thinking about listing your home this summer, let’s talk about what today’s market means for your property—and how we can make the most of it.
