Halifax is starting off 2026 with some interesting statistics at the end of January! Home prices in Halifax are down almost $34,000 from January 2025, and even down almost $22,000 from December 2025. (And December is typically one of the slowest real estate months of the year!)

The real interesting statistics to come out of January 2026 is that the number of homes for sale is down from 1124 in November 2025 to 866 in January 2026. That is a SIGNIFICANT drop in the number of homes for sale in Halifax in a short amount of time. And that includes home prices being down, and days on market going up. Why? Well 443 homes left the Halifax market in December, why? The contracts with their Realtors expired.

What does that mean?

Sellers couldn't get the price they wanted for their home, buyers aren't interested in the homes, and sellers may want to wait until the spring to try again to sell their home. (We will see what the spring brings!)

What does this mean for Halifax? Are we seeing a shift into a more balanced market? Are home prices cooling? Is this the calm before the storm?

We'll see!
