HALIFAX Many Maritime hopeful homeowners are being priced out of the market, as properties across the region continue to go well over asking. While it’s certainly a good time to be selling, buying is becoming a pipedream for those without a big budget. One first-time buyer was priced out 13 out of 14 times, and while they haven’t given up, they say it’s proving difficult. Having a house to raise her kids is a dream for homebuyer Alexandra Place and her family. But right now, owning real estate is not within reach. We have a down payment for a house, but it’s just not enough anymore and we just have to keep at it, said Place.

A fly-tipping hotspot in South Hampstead has been described as “disgusting”.
The communal bins in Alexandra Place, which are meant to be for general waste and recycling, have been dumped with building materials and large household items such as mattresses, sofas and an industrial fridge.
Local resident Patrick Couderc said vans and cars have been disposing of their rubbish outside the bins on the pavement early in the morning before scarpering.
He said untied wet bin bags causing spillages were sometimes left unattended for two or three days, turning the street into a “complete mess”. He said this put residents’ health at risk.
