## City market context

From the Halifax market article, 22 September 2026:

Halifax's Months of Inventory climbed from 4.9 in January 2026 to 8 in August, marking a clear shift into buyer-favourable conditions. Sellers now face longer listing times and greater price negotiation pressure, while buyers gain leverage in a market with more options. Halifax's housing market shifted from balanced conditions in early 2026 to a strong buyer's market by August, with Months of Inventory rising from 4.9 to 8. This shift reflects slowing sales against growing inventory, giving buyers more negotiating power while sellers face longer listing times.
