Sales Enquiries: Land Rush and Phil Soper

sales enquiries: Almost 28 per cent of agent survey respondents with Royal LePage indicated that Americans have expressed interest in a property in the Atlantic region since October 2016, with over half those enquiries taking place in Halifax, according to The Chronicle Herald. Atlantic Canada has seen the highest percentage of sales enquiries from Americans since October 2016. But tirekickers alone don't make a land rush and experts say the newly-inaugurated Cheeto in Chief isn't the only factor at play in a national marketplace the federal government is trying to cool. With 160,000 properties, their site is a good indicator of what's happening in the industry overall, said Phil Soper, CEO of Royal LePage. By comparison, after Barack Obama won in 2008, American enquiries about Canadian real estate rose just 10 per cent, Soper said. Immediately after the controversial billionaire won the U.S. presidential election, American queries about Canadian properties on the site took a 329 per cent spike. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
