63. “Halifax Market Heats Up: November’s Strong Finish to 2025”

Halifax’s housing market closed 2025 showing clear signs of tightening inventory and strong buyer competition despite seasonal slowing. With just 1.81 months of inventory, the town remains in a solid seller’s market, a condition further reinforced by a 98.6% sale-to-list ratio and median days on market of only 16, a sharp rise from the previous month but still reflective of fast-moving properties

The median sold price jumped 16% month-over-month to $537,500, signaling renewed upward price momentum after a brief autumn dip. Year-over-year, the median estimated property value rose 5.4%, now standing at $597,700, showing steady appreciation that outpaces most South Shore towns. Active listings held steady with a median list price of $501,950, unchanged month-over-month, suggesting sellers are holding firm on pricing expectations.

In November, Halifax saw 10 closed sales, 8 new listings, and 8 properties go pending—a brisk turnover for a small market. New listings ranged from entry-level homes around $385,000 to larger properties near $700,000, while pending sales included a few high-end single-family homes like 1 Lamppost Drive at $814,000 and several well-priced mid-range homes that moved in less than two weeks

Looking at sold data, homes achieved close-to-asking results, with properties like 44 Oak Place closing in just 5 days at $601,500, and 211 Elm Street selling for $685,000 after 9 days. The diversity of price points—from the $158,000 distressed sale on Beechwood Road to the $800,000 closing on Fairway Drive—reflects both the variety and volatility of Halifax’s submarket segments

Distressed activity ticked slightly upward, with four properties in various foreclosure or complaint stages, suggesting that while the market is strong overall, affordability pressures remain for some homeowners

For buyers, Halifax continues to deliver solid value compared to nearby Kingston and Pembroke—offering lakeside living, small-town character, and proximity to Route 106 and commuter rail access. For sellers, tight inventory and rising prices present a window of opportunity to capitalize on strong demand before spring competition heats up.

Key Takeaway:
Halifax remains a high-demand, low-supply market. Homes priced right are moving quickly and achieving near full asking price, while overall property values continue a healthy climb into 2026. This is an ideal moment for potential sellers to explore listing strategies while buyers should be prepared with strong financing to compete in a tight market.
