Al Demings: Multiple Listings Service

multiple listings service: In the first three months of this year, 49 homes priced over $500,000 sold through the multiple listings service versus 66 that moved during the same 2012 period, according to The Chronicle Herald. This year, by comparison, the bloom was off the rose on the shipbuilding contract, Demings said Tuesday and Demand for high-end homes in Halifax and Dartmouth was down by about 25 per cent in the first quarter of 2013, says a Re/Max Upper End report released Tuesday. Al Demings of Re/Max Nova said last years numbers were abnormally high on the heels of the October 2011 announcement that Irving Shipbuilding was in line for $25 billion in warship-building work.
