Date range analyzed: October 1 – November 1, 2025
Region: East Hants (Area 105)
As we move into the final stretch of 2025, the East Hants real estate market continues to show signs of shifting. With 102 total homes on the market across Area 105 and 27 sales in the past month, we're beginning to see a more balanced market emerge — especially in the high-demand areas of Elmsdale, Enfield, and Lantz. The days of 2021-2023 pricing are gone. Like, in the rear view mirror behind you. Like, don’t bother looking online and see what your neighbour got when they sold last year because your name isn’t Dorothy and we aren’t in Kansas anymore. In all seriousness, what we are seeing is a RETURN to a balanced market. And that is normal, that is what markets do - what matters is that if you are buying or selling, you are armed with the right information to do what’s best for yourself, to educate and position yourself as you navigate the real estate market.
Whether you're a homeowner thinking of selling or a buyer entering the market in the East Hants Corridor, understanding how these three communities are performing can help you make informed decisions. Here’s how they stack up.
📊 East Hants Market Percentages Breakdown (between Oct 1st - Nov 1st)
🏠 Total Listings on Market: 102
✅ Homes Sold: 27
🆕 New Listings: 35
______________________________________________
🔢 Percentage Calculations
✅ Sales-to-Listing Ratio (Absorption Rate)
27 sold / 102 total listings = 0.2647 → ~26.5%
➡️ Interpretation:
Roughly 26.5% of all homes listed were sold in the month.
This is considered a sign of a balancing market — not hot enough to be a seller’s market, but not slow enough to be a full buyer’s market either.
🆕 New Listings as % of Market Inventory
35 new / 102 total = 0.3431 → ~34.3%
➡️ Interpretation:
About one-third (34.3%) of the inventory was newly listed in that timeframe — a moderate level of new activity, suggesting seller confidence is still present, but not surging.
📉 Listings That Did Not Sell
102 total – 27 sold = 75 unsold
75 / 102 = 0.735 → ~73.5%
➡️ Interpretation:
Roughly 73.5% of listings remained unsold by November 1 — suggesting that buyers are being more selective, and many properties may be overpriced, poorly marketed, or just mismatched with what today’s buyers wants and needs.
IN DEPTH ANALYSIS OF ENFIELD, ELMSDALE, LANTZ (THE CORRIDOR)
📍 Elmsdale: Holding Steady
🏠 Listings: 14
🆕 New Listings: 6
✅ Sold: 4
💰 Price Range: $325,000 – $499,900
Elmsdale saw modest activity in October. While homes under $500K remained attractive, none sold over asking. Buyers in this pocket are price-sensitive and drawn to move-in ready homes. Renovated properties did better, while older homes tended to linger unless priced aggressively.
💡 Tip for Sellers: If your home isn't fully updated, consider basic cosmetic improvements and staging. It could mean the difference between sitting and selling.
📍 Enfield: The Local Powerhouse
🏠 Listings: 22
🆕 New Listings: 10
✅ Sold: 8
💰 Price Range: $339,900 – $689,000
Enfield leads the pack with the highest number of sales and strongest demand. Buyers here are snapping up homes, especially detached properties with garages and finished basements. While price sensitivity is rising, one home even sold within 4 days of hitting the market.
🛑 Sellers, take note: If you're in Enfield and priced between $450K–$600K, now is a great time to list.
📍 Lantz: Small But Mighty
🏠 Listings: 10
🆕 New Listings: 4
✅ Sold: 3
💰 Price Range: $415,000 – $549,900
Lantz is smaller in volume with respect to sales, but continues to attract interest — particularly from first-time buyers and those looking in new subdivisions. The sweet spot here is under $500K, and buyers are showing strong interest in split-entries and newer homes. Properties that were outdated or overpriced struggled.
📉 If you're buying in Lantz: You may find more flexibility in negotiations right now.
📊 How Do They Compare?
