Halifax Central takes the top spot, but that is mostly due to a small sample size skewing the results. Forest Hills, Fairview, and Woodside to Cow Bay take the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th spots and all have average sale prices under $300,000, which is among the least expensive in the districts. As usual, districts that are less expensive and closer to the city center are more in demand.

Stats are taken from NSAR MLS system. Properties included have gone firm during the month. They are resale, single family, detached, semi-detached, townhouses, and links. The Hot List is made by creating scores comprised of equally weighing Avg DOM (district) / Avg DOM (all districts) & Avg Sale Price : List Price (district) / Avg Sale Price : List Price (all districts). The scores are then ranked. Data is not filtered for outliers.
