If you’re a senior homeowner in Halifax and you’re thinking about downsizing in 2026, the real estate market looks very different than it did just a few years ago.
In this video, Halifax Senior Living specialist Roy Thomas explains what’s changed in the 2026 Halifax real estate market and what it means specifically for seniors who are considering selling their home and downsizing.
The Halifax market has entered a more balanced and stable phase, with modest price growth, more listings, and more negotiation. Detached homes remain strong, condos have softened slightly, and a new “renewal wave” of homeowners facing higher interest rates is expected to increase supply. On top of that, rising costs and property tax increases are forcing many homeowners to rethink whether keeping a large home still makes sense.
In this video, you’ll learn:
What the 2026 Halifax real estate market really looks like
Why preparation and pricing matter more than ever
How the house vs condo market affects downsizers
What the renewal wave means for timing your move
Why rising ownership costs are changing decisions for seniors
