📣 SMALL BUSINESS SHOUTOUT 📣: Eternal BloomsIf you're looking for a unique way to remember your special day or looking for a memorable wedding gift, check out Eternal Blooms Flower Preservation!  Q: What's the story behind why you started your business? I started my journey with flower preservation five years ago while recovering from surgery for my chronic illness, endometriosis. What started as a form of therapy has since bloomed into a thriving business where I get to help people preserve their most precious moments and beloved memories. Q: What can customers expect? I pour my heart and soul into every single piece of art I create. Whether it be a wedding bouquet, flowers from a baby shower, memorial flowers, or homegrown from your garden- I take great pride in preserving the beauty of nature. Its truly an honor to be trusted with something so special, to be cherished by my clients for a lifetime. I have spent years learning all the different methods and perfecting my craft. Whether it be pressed or dried full shape, framed or cast in resin and made into functional keepsakes and home décor, you’re sure to find something that caters to your style, while still feeling like a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of art. I would like to point out that this is a specialty service that should be booked well in advance, like other wedding vendors. As hard as it is, sometimes I have to turn away brides because they waited until after their wedding and I was fully booked, or their flowers are too far gone. I send out care tips to the clients that book ahead for their fresh florals, ensuring they arrive to me in the best condition possible! Q: Can you share an insider tip about your neighbourhood? A new Rec Center is coming to Lakeside!!! Q: What are some other local businesses people should check out if they’re in the area?I absolutely love D & Jo’s Country Farm Market! Not only do they have fresh, local produce and baked goods, they have hard serve ice cream! What better way to end a nice stroll on the BLT Trail than a scoop of Moon Mist ice cream?! Q: Are you working on any new projects? Eternal Blooms Flower Preservation is a one woman show, so right now I’m trying to figure out which aspects of my business I can potentially hire help for, and hopefully get myself into some much needed studio space. I am also a new mom, so trying to find a good work/family balance is something I’m working hard on. I’m looking forward to the upcoming wedding season, and all the bouquets coming my way!
Follow my journey as I pursue my passion. A local small business that is just starting to bloom!

A Real Estate Market Update for Halifax, Nova ScotiaIt's no secret that the real estate market has been on a roller coaster ride over the past few years. We saw prices skyrocket at the beginning of the pandemic and continue to climb until Q3 of 2022 before dropping suddenly, only to start climbing again in December of the same year.  As a result of these fluctuations, I have had a number of people asking if we are in a buyer’s market or a seller’s market. In this post, we will take a look at the difference between a buyer's market and a seller's market and what that means for those looking to buy or sell a home in our city. Let’s start with months of inventory, which is a great way to measure supply and demand. What is Months of Inventory? Months of Inventory in real estate is defined as the amount of time (or months) it would take for all current MLS® listings to sell, given that no new listings enter the market. This is calculated by dividing the total number of homes for sale by the total number of homes sold for a given period of time – usually done on a monthly basis. Months of Inventory = Total Units on Market in Month X / Total Units Sold in Month X What is a Buyer's Market? A buyer's market exists when there are more homes for sale than there are buyers searching for homes. This often happens in areas where the population is shrinking or where there has been a lot of new construction. When we see more than 4 or more months of inventory, we are in a buyer's market. Prices tend to go down in a buyer's market because there is more supply than demand. What is a Seller's Market? A seller's market exists when there are more buyers searching for homes than there are homes for sale. This often happens when interest rates are low, or the economy is doing well. When months of inventory are low (2 months or lower), the market is usually in seller’s territory. In a seller's market, the party listing their property has more negotiating power and can often get a higher price for their home. So, which market are we in right now? Over the last two years, it was obvious we were in a seller’s market; however, a significant decrease in prices between April - July 2022 and an increase in inventory between January and September—coupled with national headlines reporting a cooling of the real estate market—has resulted in uncertainty as to which type of market we are in. However, when we look at months of inventory, we are currently sitting at 1.3 months of inventory (up from 0.3 in Jan 2022), putting us in a seller's market.  This also aligns with the factors that lead to buyer’s or seller’s markets. A buyer’s market is characterized by shrinking populations and over-building. In Nova Scotia, our population is growing at a rate faster than the national population growth:  Further, according to the province, it’s estimated the Halifax region is short at least 17,000 housing units, and this number is growing. Not to mention interest rates are still considered to be low despite recent increases (when we look at the last 35 years, the average interest rate has been 6.5%) and high inflation.
When speaking with sellers, there is a lot of regrets that they didn’t list a year ago; however, it's not too late for sellers to take advantage of this market. Thinking of buying this spring? Check out my next blog post for tips for navigating a seller's market. The real estate market is always changing, so it's important to stay up-to-date on the latest trends if you're thinking of buying or selling a home. 📣 SMALL BUSINESS SHOUTOUT 📣: Burning FlameLooking for premium 100% natural soy wax candles made locally?

Please follow us on Instagram @burningflamecandleco Three Things That Aren't Going to Happen in the Nova Scotia Real Estate Market in 2023Predicting the future is always a risky proposition, but that doesn't stop people from trying. In this blog post, we're going to take a look at three things that aren't going to happen in the Nova Scotia real estate market in 2023. Whether you're a homeowner or thinking of becoming one, it's important to know what to expect in the years ahead. So without further ado, let's get started!  1. Interest Rates will not decline in a significant wayWith the start of 2023 upon us, many homebuyers are wondering what the year will bring for interest rates and wondering if they should wait for rates to fall before jumping into home ownership. Unfortunately, rates will not decline in a significant way from where we finished in 2022. The Bank of Canada Overnight Rate started the year 2022 at .25%, before climbing steadily to end the year at 4.25%. There is no indication that we will return to those .25% rates that we saw at the beginning of 2022. In fact, the Bank of Canada started 2023 by raising the overnight rate by another .25%. While this is the last rate hike we should see for a while, the Bank of Canada has warned that they are prepared to increase rates further to control inflation if required. So if home ownership is right for your timeline and finances, don't wait for rates to drop because they will not be returning to the numbers we saw in early 2022 2. House prices will not decrease in a significant wayDespite news of falling prices across Canada, the Director of Economic and Statistics for the province, Thomas Storring, predicts a soft landing for Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia's demand for housing has been on a steady rise. In the last three years, Nova Scotia's increase in population has outpaced that of Canada, and residential housing stock has not yet caught up with population growth. In fact, due to increased immigration, housing demand continues to be at the highest levels since just after the Second World War. The increased demand has put pressure on the current housing stock, and as a result, prices have stabilized or increased across the province. (We saw the median price in the province increase by 14.8% in 2022). This increase in buyer demand will insulate Nova Scotians from any upset in the market caused by inflation and rising interest rates, which is great news for Sellers in 2023. 3. Sellers will not give away their homes Despite suffering a dip in the housing market since Q1 of 2022, sellers still have power over the prices of their homes.
Many news headlines across Canada talk about decreases in home prices, but these claims may be lacking essential context. Contrary to what may be seen in the headlines, sellers are in control of the sale price. Many sellers may not want to accept a low offer and are instead patiently waiting for an offer in line with the height of the market. This phenomenon is referred to as price stickiness, which is caused by powerful psychological factors that create resistance in sellers' minds when it comes to accepting less than what they initially expected. This means that while market factors could be telling buyers otherwise, most sellers will not want to give away their homes at discounted prices. With this knowledge, buyers should keep an eye on the market trends in order to come up with realistic expectations when offering on a home. It's always tricky to predict the future, but I've taken a shot at it with this blog post. As you can see, there are a number of factors that contribute to housing prices in Nova Scotia. And it's important to stay informed of these trends so you can make the best decision for your situation. 📣 SMALL BUSINESS SHOUTOUT 📣: THE LOOP The Loop has been Halifax's downtown destination for fibre craft supplies since 2005 and is the perfect place to stock up on supplies for your favourite fibre-related hobbies. This week we caught up with owner Mimi Fautley to chat about it.  Q: WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND WHY YOU STARTED YOUR BUSINESS? I’ve always been a maker, with a particular interest in textiles. In the late 90s and early 2000s, I was really into knitting. I wasn’t just making things, I was accumulating a lot of technical knowledge as well. My brain was just hungry for it. When the job I had at the time ended, I started thinking about putting that knowledge to work in a way that would be useful to other people. When I met some other people who were interested in opening a knitting store too, we pooled our resources and opened The Loop in 2005. They moved on to other things, but I’ve been the sole owner since 2014. Q: WHAT CAN CUSTOMERS EXPECT? We carry a range of yarns and tools for knitting and crochet, with an emphasis on natural fibres and materials. We also carry needle felting supplies and kits for embroidery and rug hooking. Our goal has always been to make a space that is inviting, useful and accessible to everyone. Being right downtown means our customers include people of every gender, age and background—a lively mix with lots of different perspectives and interests. We do our best to make sure they have what they need to make what they want. Our technical knowledge is really deep, so we’re good at keeping beginners on track, but can also go deep on techniques and materials when that’s what a customer wants. Q: CAN YOU SHARE AN INSIDER TIP ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD? Since the store opened, we’ve seen downtown Halifax transition from a business and financial district into a cohesive neighbourhood. It’s a huge shift. These days, so many people live downtown that the area from the Citadel to the waterfront now has a nice cross-section of retail shops, groceries and cafés, as well as bars and restaurants. In some ways, it has a European feel, with places tucked here and there, rather than all lined up along one commercial street. If you take time to explore, you’ll discover all sorts of hidden gems. Q: WHAT ARE SOME OTHER LOCAL BUSINESSES PEOPLE SHOULD CHECK OUT IF THEY’RE IN THE AREA? We've got some unbeatable neighbours, of course: Argyle Fine Art and Fireworks Gallery. Crafters of all kinds would love YuYo Craft Supply and Tea House, which is tucked away between the Brewery Market and the Marriott Courtyard. Q: ARE YOU WORKING ON ANY NEW PROJECTS? Before Covid, we offered classes in knitting, crochet and needle felting. We want to get back to offering those this year.
State of the market recap for 2022As we embark on 2023, it's time to look back at the dramatic and ever-changing real estate market in 2022. From unsustainable price growth to contraction in some areas, it seems that there hasn't been a "typical" 12 months within this industry for quite some time now. As we prepare for what could lie ahead heading into 2023, let’s take a look at all of the different factors that have shaped the housing market throughout 2022.  In like a lion... When I think back to the start of 2022, the housing market came in like a lion. Low inventory, high buyer demand coupled with inexpensive mortgages led to a very competitive start to the year. Properties were selling in multiple offers and over ask (single-family homes sold for 108% of the list price). Between January and April 2022, the median sale price rose by $97,500 from $337,500 to $435,000 before declining in a meaningful way for the first time since the start of the pandemic.  So what happened?Back at the beginning of 2022, the Bank of Canada's Overnight Rate was 0.25%. Over the span of 12 months the Bank of Canada aggressively increased the overnight rate by 400 basis points or 4%, prompting a cooling in the markets. The first of these rate increases occurred in March of 2022. An increase of .25% by itself may not have had a significant impact on the market; however, the Bank of Canada was upfront that this was just the first of four planned interest rate increases, and in retrospect, it was the first of seven.  The increase in the Bank of Canada’s overnight rate led to other interest rates, such as mortgages, also rising—creating instability and concern among consumers. It’s important to remember that while this increase might make it more difficult for people to afford housing, increasing interest rateswill help slow inflation. By the end of 2022, the median sale price had fallen to $355,000 from a peak of $435,000 in April of 2022, and while it would be logical to expect that this decrease in home prices would be beneficial to home buyers, the rise of interest rates over the course of the year eliminated any increase in affordability. In Feb of 2022, the 5-year fixed rate was hovering around 3.5%, meaning the monthly payment on the median-priced home ($425,000) was just under $2100 per month. By the end of 2022, the median home price had fallen to $355,000, but the 5-year fixed rate had risen to 5.5%, and as a result, the monthly payment for the median-priced home in NS had actually risen $50 per month.  And, while no one has a crystal ball, there are a couple of things that aren't going to happen in 2023. Be sure to check out next week's newsletter for my 2023 predictions.
📣 SMALL BUSINESS SHOUTOUT 📣: Art by AshArt By Ash is a watercolour artist here in Nova Scotia, painting portraits, pets, houses, florals and everything in between.  Q: What's the story behind why you started your business?Since I was little, I've always loved doing crafts of any kind but have always had more of an interest in painting. A few years ago when I finished school, I got back into painting and started posting what I was working on. It started gaining momentum and things took off from there! I had a very popular painting that had multiple requests for prints, so I learned how to make prints of my work and created an online shop! Q: What can customers expect?Customers can expect both prints and original paintings from me, which all get posted on my social media as well as my Etsy for sale. I also take commissions for custom paintings for things like family portraits, pets, etc. if they want something more personal! Q: Can you share an insider tip about LIVING ON THE SOUTH SHORE?There is a great trail system that goes all through the neighbourhood and connects neighbouring towns! It's been so nice to have in the warmer months and I'm sure it'll be beautiful in the winter as well Q: What are some other local businesses people should check out if they’re in the area?I've only been in the area for a few months, but there are tons of bakeries and farm markets to check out! Lahave Bakery is one of my favourites, and Indian Gardens is a great spot for local goods and produce. Q: Are you working on any new projects?There's always something on the go! I've finished up Christmas commissions, so now I plan to dive back into creating some new floral pieces! I'm going to start painting even larger pieces which I'm very excited about!
Considering buying in 2023? Start with these questionsIf interest rates were back to the low rates they were this time last year, would you want to buy a home? If you answered yes, then you need to look past interest rates.  Rates are significantly higher than the low rates we saw in the last couple of years, but interest rates alone should not keep you from buying a home if that’s what’s right for your timeline and finances. Why? Because every month you wait to buy a home is another month of appreciation that you’re losing out on. That’s another month of equity that you don’t get to build. And another month of paying your landlord and having that money disappear. I’m not sure about you, but if I had to choose between paying a landlord and paying a mortgage payment, I would 100% go with the mortgage payment. If you’re still stressed about high rates, I get it. But keep in mind that you have no control over what the Bank of Canada does with the overnight rate. What you do have control over, however, are things like your credit score, your down payment, and the type of loan you choose, which can all affect your monthly payment. Are your expectations realistic? Get really honest and clear with yourself on what your expectations are. What kind of payments would be comfortable for your lifestyle? What kind of area do you want to live in? What type of home would work best for you? Then, you need to look at your expectations from the perspective of the current market, your budget, and your lifestyle—and make a decision on what’s realistic for you. Do you understand how much purchasing power you have?If you’re not sure where to start, sign up to get automatic search notifications for areas you would love to live in. This is a great way to get a sense of your purchasing power in different neighbourhoods. If you have a budget of $500k, then you might get a lot more for your budget in an area like Sackville than in Downtown Dartmouth. Start your search by comparing your budget and your home needs with locations you’d be comfortable in. If your expectations don’t line up with the market, your budget, or your lifestyle, you’ll need to adjust your expectations. Are you looking at the right homes or areas? How many houses have you looked at? If you have been spending every spare moment touring homes, you may need to reevaluate your wants and needs. Seeing a large number of properties uses a lot of your time and energy as a buyer, especially if you’re not any closer to finding your dream home. If this happens to you, it’s a good sign that you need to reevaluate your wants vs your needs. What do you really need to be happy in a home? What are some wants that, while important to you, are less of a priority? Once you are clear on your real wants and needs, you’ll have an easier time finding the right home for you. What are your absolute needs?What are you ok settling for?
Chances are that you won’t get everything you want in a home from the get go. But once you buy a home, you’ll be able to do whatever you want to it—design the backyard of your dreams or renovate the kitchen to be exactly what you want. So ask yourself: what do you absolutely need to have and what can you wait on? Can you redo the kitchen in a couple of years and get the home with the good bones now? If you take the time to ask yourself these questions and are honest with your answers, you’ll be able to find a home that works for your wants, needs, and lifestyle for the long-term. You won’t end up stuck in a home that looked great in the showing but doesn’t end up aligning with your life. 📣 SMALL BUSINESS SHOUTOUT 📣: LOCAL SOURCE If you've passed by the corner of Agricola and Windsor street in Halifax, you're sure to have passed by the new Local Source Market location where owners Krista Armstrong and Sean Gallagher provide access to local, fresh, high-quality products that support a healthy lifestyle & allow guests to actively participate in local seasonal food economy. Q: What's the story behind why you started your business? My partner Sean started Local Source on Charles street in 2005. We were featured recently in Unravel Halifax where we talked about how the business got started in detail, but the business grew from his catering business which was started while he was a student at DAL. The grocery department grew organically & naturally and ebbed and flowed with the seasons. In 2018, I came on board as an owner and we started our growth plan. And then in 2022, we opened Local Source Windsor. Q: What can customers expect? Communities are built around independent grocery stores. Local Source has a focus on supporting community through buying locally and in season. All of our products come from Canada and are sourced close to home. We also have a from-scratch bakery & prepared foods department made from real food! Q: Can you share an insider tip about your neighbourhood? This area is all about the people! Meet your neighbors, they are pretty cool. Q: What are some other local businesses people should check out if they’re in the area? Off Agricola I recommend Nurtured, Ana + Zac, CycleSmith, and Espresso 46. And on Windsor there's Fauna, Brooklyn Warehouse, On The Mat, and Boxing Rock. Q: Are you working on any new projects? OH... so many. Does an entrepreneur every stop!?
