Downtown Halifax Condo market update 2008

by Andrew on January 12, 2009

How did the downtown Halifax Condo Market perform in 2008?

Downtown Halifax has seen a wave of new condominiums break ground in 2008.  Here is a list of several that have begun construction and nearing completion with links to there respective websites.

Under Construction

1. Falkland St Condos

2. The Trillium Condos

3. Armoury Villa

Nearing Completion

1. Armoury Square

2. Spice

3. Hydrostone Place

I am going to look at a year over year comparison of downtown Halifax Condos and how the average price was affected and the percentage of change in the number of sales.

Halifax Condo market update for area 1-4 which encompasses the South, North, West and Central Halifax for 2008 including new builds.

Looking at these numbers there is not a lot to say.  The average price remained the same year over year.  This could be attributed to the slowdown in the economy in 2008.   The number of sales declined by 12%.  The state of the Halifax Condo market is looking good for the future, there are a lot of new builds coming on board and it should be an exciting time.  City planners are looking to get another twenty five thousand people into the downtown core to reduce traffic congestion and increase the vibrancy of the downtown area.
