Housing Market in Halifax

In March 2025, Halifax’s housing market is a seller’s market with a sales-to-new-listings ratio (SNLR) of 67%, driven by tight inventory and robust demand. Sales dropped 16% from March 2024 to 421 transactions, but rose 27% from March 2023, with detached homes (328 sales) up 11% annually. Rental vacancy rates are low at 2.1%, with average two-bedroom rents at $1,740, expected to rise slightly to 2.5% vacancy by year-end. Affordability issues persist, with homelessness rising to 3,295 individuals, fueled by a 4.4% price hike in 2024 and limited entry-level inventory, despite record multi-unit construction (4,128 starts in 2023)

In March 2025, Halifax house prices up 4.8% compared to the same month a year ago.
