“Retirees, people returning from working away and out-of-province buyers are purchasing recreational properties in Nova Scotia” according to the Royal LePage 2009 Recreational Property Report. "With its beautiful sandy beaches and proximity to Halifax airport, the Lunenburg area draws significant interest from out-of-province buyers. Here, prices of waterfront properties with land access start at $85,000 but can go as high as $855,000. Despite these high prices, buyers from Ontario and Alberta perceive great value for their investment, as comparable properties back home bring much higher price tags and are often hard to find."
