Down East Real Estate
I've said this time and time again - we're Atlantic Canadians. We are NOT like the rest of Canada and definitely NOT like the rest of the Western World. We have a different approach to life and a different outlook on our future. MOST Nova Scotians are optimistic about the future.
At a meeting yesterday, we REALTORS® were advised that, although the rest of Canada will see decreases in the housing market and in the price of homes, Atlantic Canadians can expect a slight increase in both the market and prices. This is a positive spin on an otherwise questionable issue!
The media (all forms) generally paints a black picture of the real estate market in general. If it's bad in Vancouver or Toronto or Montreal, they lump Nova Scotia in with the rest of Canada - leading many to believe that our market is as bleak as the rest of the country.
Do me a HUGE favour - before you believe what the newspapers, TV and internet say about real estate, will you contact your own REALTOR®? He or she will be happy to talk with you about the real situation. If you don't currently have a REALTOR®, give me a call or drop in to see me. I will answer your questions gladly!
