About Realtor Growth
Nova Scotia real estate, explained with real numbers.
Buying, renting or selling a home in Nova Scotia comes with a lot of numbers nobody explains up front: deed transfer tax, CMHC insurance, closing adjustments, rent caps, assessments. Realtor Growth explains them in plain English, with Nova Scotia examples and calculators you can run yourself.
Who writes it
Guides are written by Gavin McKinley. Money and legal topics are checked against primary sources such as CMHC, the Canada Revenue Agency, Service Nova Scotia, PVSC and municipal governments. Read how we work in our editorial policy.
Who publishes it
realtorgrowth.ca is published by the team behind Acres, a Nova Scotia home search app. When a guide mentions Acres, it's because the app helps with the next step, like seeing the monthly cost of a listing or getting an alert when a price drops. We say so openly, and we never let that change the facts or the numbers.
What we're not
We're not a brokerage, a lender or a law firm. Our guides are general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Check the details of your own situation with a lawyer, lender or accountant.
