💡 Insight: Price it right or sit tight. Fast movers often win on price, while anything lingering past 60 days is guaranteed to sell below asking.

🔑 Strategic Takeaways

  • Sell Smart: Halifax Peninsula remains hot – high prices and fast turnover.

  • Pricing Matters: Most units still need competitive pricing to sell.

  • Know Your Buyer: Over 40% of quick sales still went under asking – this isn’t a “list high, wait” market.
