Properties in and around Halifax are driving the growth, with properties in the municipality now worth $113.8 billion, more than half the provincial total.
PVSC says condos, apartments and duplexes are seeing strong growth with construction expanding outside Halifax.
It says commercial land values in the city are up significantly, especially in areas like the expanding Burnside Industrial Park in Dartmouth.
