During Covid, Nova Scotia experienced a large migration of new residents into the province from other provinces. Many of our newcomers moved here without having lived on the east coast – some even moved here without having ever visited! At the peak of the pandemic some people from out of province were buying houses sight unseen.
Maybe the pandemic was the final straw in driving you toward a lifelong dream of a slower pace of life. Regardless of how you arrived, you’re here now. But did you land in the exact right place for you and your family? I’ve definitely heard stories from people who say they regret moving to Nova Scotia. In fact, I wrote a blog post called “I Regret Moving to Nova Scotia” and it’s one of the most popular posts on my website. However, what if it’s not the move to Nova Scotia you regret, but just the community you choose?
While our province is small, relatively speaking, it’s not homogenous. Living on the French shore in the tiny community of St. Bernard (yes, where that massive old church was up for sale and made headlines across the country) is very different from living in the university towns of Wolfville or Antigonish, or in downtown Dartmouth or suburban Halifax.
As a Nova Scotia REALTOR®, I live roughly halfway between the Annapolis Valley and the South Shore. That puts me in the unique position of being able to serve two of the most picturesque areas of this province. If you’re looking in that area, you can certainly reach out and work with me. I’ve produced a number of guides available here you might find helpful as a buyer.
I’ve also created Move to the Annapolis Valley, a website devoted to detailing what life is really like in small communities in the Valley. Each featured community has information about what it’s like living there from a local perspective, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Most communities and video posts will be added regularly.
Would you like to chat with me about listing your home for sale, and making the move to a community that better fits your needs? I want to help you find your perfect place in this beautiful province. Call me!
