November 2025 Market Update – South Shore & Annapolis Valley, NS

The latest residential market data for November shows both the South Shore and Annapolis Valley continuing their shift toward more balanced conditions as the year winds down. Seasonal slowing is evident across both regions, with moderated sales activity and pricing adjustments typical for late fall. Even so, underlying demand remains stable, supported by improving inventory and increasing buyer readiness heading into the winter months.

November brought a noticeable cooling in sales on the South Shore, with transaction levels easing compared to the same time last year. Despite slower activity, the average price saw a significant year-over-year increase, reflecting continued interest in well-located coastal properties and a limited supply of higher-quality listings. As winter approaches, the market is settling into a more predictable seasonal rhythm, with motivated buyers still active—particularly those seeking long-term lifestyle value.

Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia

• Average Residential Price: $374,487

• Year-over-Year Price Change: +1.5%

• Residential Sales: 101 units

The Annapolis Valley market held relatively steady in November, with modest price growth and healthy sales numbers for this time of year. Balanced conditions continue to define the region, as buyers prioritize affordability and quality of life while sellers adjust to a market that rewards accurate pricing. Well-prepared and strategically marketed homes remain competitive even as overall activity tapers seasonally.

What This Means for You

November’s data reinforces the trend toward balance across both markets. As interest rate pressures begin to ease and buyers regain confidence, early winter may present opportunities for both sides of the transaction. Buyers are finding more selection and negotiating room than earlier in the year, while sellers who price strategically are still achieving solid results.

If you’re considering a move this winter or planning ahead for early spring, now is an ideal time to understand how these evolving conditions may shape your next decision. Reach out anytime for a personalized market update or tailored guidance based on your specific goals.
