As we move into peak summer, Moncton’s real estate market continues its balancing act. June brought a mix of rising inventory, slower sales, and pricing that’s holding steady—for now.

Is the summer market softening, or just catching its breath?

Let’s break down what the numbers say—and what that means for you.

📊 Market Snapshot: June 2025

According to the latest data from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA):

• Sales Activity: 334 homes sold (↑ 3.1% YoY)

• New Listings: 560 (↑ 1.3% YoY)

• Active Listings: 1,398 homes (↑ 19.4% YoY)

• Sales-to-New-Listings Ratio: 59.6%

• Months of Inventory: 4.2 (↑ from 3.6 last June)

• Average Price: $389,689 (↑ 1.9% YoY)

• Median Days on Market: 32.5 days (up from 28)

🧭 Verdict: Balanced Market Signals Emerging

While still leaning toward a seller’s market, growing inventory and longer listing times are tilting conditions toward more balance.

What’s New This Month?

🏡 Listings Climb, But So Do Days on Market

With 1,398 active listings (up nearly 20% YoY), buyers have more to choose from. But homes are now taking 32.5 days to sell on average—up from 26 last June.

💰 Price Growth Moderates

The average home price rose just 1.9%, suggesting a plateau. Median price growth is slightly stronger at 4.1%, but still a deceleration from last year’s double-digit pace.

🔄 Buyer-Seller Dynamics Are Shifting

The Sales-to-New-Listings Ratio dropped to 59.6%, down from over 80% in June 2023. This shift means more sellers are competing for fewer buyers—and concessions are back on the table.

What This Means for You

👀 For Buyers:

Opportunity is growing. Inventory is up. Prices are flat.

Pro Tips:

• Watch for listings that have sat >30 days—there may be room to negotiate

• Lock in a mortgage pre-approval before expected summer rate announcements

• Focus on homes priced just under market—they're more likely to adjust

🏠 For Sellers:

You’ll still sell—but only if you’re sharp. Buyers are browsing more, not rushing.

To stand out:

• Use professional photos, virtual tours, and accurate pricing

• Don’t overprice based on 2022 highs

• Be flexible on terms and timing

The sale-to-list price ratio dipped to 97.3%, meaning buyers are negotiating again.

📈 For Investors:

This is a smart-entry window. Prices are steady, and inventory is rich.

Ideas:

• Look into duplexes or semi-detached—rents remain strong

• Focus on school zones and transit-friendly pockets

• Be ready to act before inventory tightens in late summer

Looking Ahead: Summer Strategy

The June numbers suggest that balance is returning. Sellers need to compete, buyers have room to breathe, and price growth is normalizing.

🔔 Buyers: Take advantage of rising inventory while rates hold

🔔 Sellers: Prep your listing to shine—average isn’t enough anymore

🔔 Investors: Evaluate now, act fast when the right deal hits
