## Infrastructure Inventory

Fort Massey contains 16 mapped amenity points distributed across three distinct categories. The largest group consists of 13 transit stops located along South Street, Barrington Street, and South Park Street. These stops provide multiple access points for residents within the neighbourhood boundary. The remaining points include two parks and one grocery store.

Spencer House Park and Peace and Friendship Park are the two designated green spaces in the area. Sobeys Pharmacy serves as the single mapped grocery location for daily necessities. The concentration of transit stops suggests a focus on public transportation access. However, the data does not specify which bus routes serve these locations. This limits the ability to assess overall connectivity and convenience for potential buyers. Sources:

## 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.
