and Dartmouth and in the outskirts of Halifax. The prices for Halifax
new homes range from $200,000 to $500,000 further from downtown the
range drops, to $100,000 - $350,000. The main cost is the price of
building the house. Land is very inexpensive. (The exception to this
would be downtown Halifax waterfront property, which is difficult
to buy and costly.) Usually, several acres can purchased for less
than $20,000. So remember depending on the proximity to downtown Halifax,
lots can be as expensive or more expensive then the house built on
it. Ask our Halifax real estate agents about Halifax land real estate
