If you're following the Halifax condo market like it’s your favourite binge-worthy Netflix series, April 2025 just dropped a new episode—and yes, it's full of plot twists, power moves, and a few surprise endings. Whether you're buying, selling, or just snooping (we see you), here’s your front-row seat to all the action. Let's break it down, stat by stat.
Market Overview: Halifax Condos in April 2025
April saw 85 condo sales across Halifax, a decent pace given the season and economic climate. While the average days on market landed at 32.4, the median was only 14, which tells us some units flew off the shelves while others took their sweet time (likely due to price or presentation).
Price Snapshot:
Average original listing price: $474,633
Average final selling price: $464,288
So, yes—buyers are negotiating. But that doesn’t mean sellers are losing the upper hand. It just depends on where and what you're selling.
Selling Price vs Asking: Who’s Winning the Tug of War?
Let’s talk price battles. In this episode of “Buyers vs. Sellers,” the scoreboard looks like this:
Over Asking: 18 condos (21.2%) sold above list—on average, they snagged $18,640 extra.
At Asking: 12 units (14.1%) hit the mark exactly.
Under Asking: 55 units (64.7%) sold below asking, with an average price drop of $22,087.
Translation: Pricing still matters—big time. Sellers who nailed the list price or offered solid value were rewarded. Others? Not so much.
Price Range Breakdown: Where the Action Was
Not all price brackets performed equally. Here’s where buyers were signing on the dotted line:
$300K–$400K: 25 sales (29.4% of market)
$400K–$500K: 22 sales (25.9% of market)
$500K–$750K: 19 sales (22.4% of market)
The sweet spot? Clearly, the mid-range market is buzzing. Units priced too high without standout features are being passed over faster than a soggy french fry.

What This Means for You
Let’s get real. The Halifax condo market in April didn’t just hum—it sang. But it’s singing a different tune depending on where you're standing.

Buyers: Expect competition in hot zones, but know that 64.7% of listings sold under asking. There's room to negotiate, especially outside key neighbourhoods or for units that need updating.
Investors: April shows clear signs that strategic condo investments—especially in Fairmount, Bedford, or downtown Dartmouth—are paying off handsomely.
