We also wondered how come rich Americans haven't bought the beautiful NS coastline up with their holiday homes ?

On the topic of buying homes.....a few of you mentioned hoards of people leaving for jobs out West...do you have a sense of whether the economy over there in the East will look up in some way ? Just wondering if one buys a house there and then needs to move on if one might find oneself stuck...

Many thanks everyone, its very interesting to hear what you all have to say.

Squidlet.........I think after reading the above...you should stay in alberta....I have never ever considered how close Nova Scotia is to New York.........New York is a beautiful city so why would I care....come on now get real!
As for the Americans coming up and buying lots of property.....well they do! We also had an influx of Germans that bought everything and that raised the property prices for the locals. Have look at the property prices on the mls web site...and look on the South Shore...loads of expensive property there!
It really depends on why you want to move here......why do you want to move to the East coast?
