A young family matches perfectly to a 36 year of a house sold by the original owner moving on to their next chapter. Only two times in 11 years have I been privileged to be a part of a journey that seem to come out of a romance novel. Not your typical romance novel but a real estate love story.

The real estate market in Halifax, Nova Scotia has never been like this. We've seen it in places like Toronto and Vancouver but never in Halifax. It's always been a steady and slow upward trend in values. It has been a buyer's market for at least a decade then January 2019 it turned into a balanced market then boom! by July it was a sellers.Now, February 2021, the inventory has never been lower and demand so high. Take a look at the snippet of what sold in just the Dartmouth area. Every listing sold for much higher than list price and there's no sign of it slowing down.Feel free to reach out and ask about your particular area of the Halifax Region; or your own property; I'm here to help.

Six Key Questions to Ask a Home Renovator  As location is most often the most important factor when deciding on a home more people are choosing to renovate their existing home then move the family to a new area. Once you’ve made the decision to renovate it’s important to find a home renovation company that meets 6 key criteria  (1) experience: not just how long they have been in business but the experience they have themselves in the actual work. There are many home renovation company owners that have never actually held a hammer in their hand. They don’t have the sharp eye of an experienced carpenter. One wall or counter out of plumb can throw off the finishes of everything else in the room  (2) sharing and contributing to your vision: do they just listen to what you’re asking for and ...

The economic outlook for Nova Scotia, in particular, Halifax is bright. Viewed by Chief Economist for Laurentian Bank, Sebastien Lavoie, as one of the most optomistic economies in Canada right now.Factors such as business confidence, lower unemployment, population increase and stronger real estate sales all point to an strengthened economy for Halifax. Which in turn, makes for a safer environment for investing in real estate.Currently, the rental vacancy rate is at an all time low of 1.5%¹ and the Nova Scotia population increase of 1% in 2018 is the best since mid-80s². The span between real estate sales and population inclined dramatically, demonstrating a strong demand for rental properties. An ideal environment for real estate investing and there's no better time than right now to bu...

Life' Road and How to Navigate It.    I have sat at a lot of kitchen tables over my 42 years as a Realtor. Every home owner dealing with different circumstances including the loss of a loved one. Many times I have said it is essential to forget about the past and move on. Time waits for no one.As I have aged I've come to realize that you never forget about the past. Your past is the process that has made you who you are today. When someone you love dies you never forget about them. Yes they are gone from this physical world but your love for them never dies. You cling to those memories of them almost desperately in hopes of not loosing them completely. This in itself is almost a form of self torture because the love and grief are so intertwined.It can seem like by clinging to the memori...

High Shots Video Slide Show  Highshots.biz has been making it's own style of videos. We use a simple software that enables us to create  videos that are affordable and not over done. This is done with  ProShow Gold .  A video takes me maybe 15 minutes  and then uploading time, and video conversion time is like 1/2 hr.    *** Note - this is due to processing time.***   The importance of video cannot be said enough. Google owns Youtube and Google owns the search cababilities of the Internet !   By introducing a simple yet optimised video helps my customers rank on their youtube accounts as well they may put this video on their  website's Google places account.  By using social media accounts such as G+ , Twitter and Facebook they can create a "stir" , I will call it. The more eyes on thei...
