Greater Moncton Real Estate Market Update: June 2026

One region. Four markets. Thirteen sub-markets. And they are not doing the same thing.

The June 2026 CREA numbers show a region that has downshifted from a seller's sprint to a negotiation. But zoom in one level and the picture splits hard: parts of Dieppe and Riverview are still running hot while chunks of Moncton and the coast have gone quiet.

Here is the whole thing, minus the fluff.

How the ratings work. Every area below gets a rating based on inventory, days on market, and how close sellers are getting to asking price:

• HOT: sellers in control, come prepared

• WARM: still favours sellers, but buyers can breathe

• BALANCED: fair fight

• COOLING: buyers gaining leverage

• COLD: buyers hold the cards

• TOO SMALL TO RATE: fewer than 10 sales this month, and I won't pretend a handful of transactions is a trend

GREATER MONCTON AT A GLANCE: BALANCED

323 sales (down 4.7%) | Average $396,016 (up 1.4%) | Median $375,000 (flat) | 4.5 months of inventory | 36 days to sell | Sellers getting 97% of asking

More choice, slower pace, flat prices. That is the whole regional story in nine words. With 1,466 active listings, the most June inventory in years, buyers are comparison shopping and sellers are negotiating, not dictating.

One number worth flagging: the MLS® HPI benchmark ($384,100) dipped 5% in one month but is up 6.2% on the year. One-month moves are noise. Ignore anyone panicking about it.

MONCTON: COOLING

88 sales (down 13.7%) | Average $399,136 (down 3.2%) | Median $380,000 | 5.2 months of inventory | 38 days | 96.7% of asking

The softest of the three urban markets. Sellers are giving up over 3% off list on average, roughly $13,000 on a typical home. That negotiating room did not exist two years ago.

Moncton North: BALANCED 38 sales | Average $433,335 | 3.9 months | 41 days Busiest sub-market in the city. Prices softened 7%, but demand is real.

Moncton East: COOLING 23 sales | Average $428,624 | 5.7 months | 37 days Active inventory up 90% from last year. Sellers here need sharp pricing.

Moncton Center: COLD 22 sales | Average $318,814 | 7.8 months | 31 days 171 active listings, 22 sales, 95.1% of asking. The buyer's market everyone keeps asking about? It lives here.

Moncton West: TOO SMALL TO RATE 5 sales | Average $357,000 Five sales is a coincidence, not a trend.

Buying in Moncton: negotiate with confidence, especially in Center and East. Selling: your comps are from the last 90 days, not from 2024. Price like it.

DIEPPE: HOT

61 sales (up 45.2%) | Average $491,874 (up 4.8%) | Median $444,900 | 3.1 months of inventory | 29 days | 98.2% of asking

Dieppe did not get the cooling memo. Sales up 45% while the rest of the region slowed. Most expensive urban market and still the most competitive.

Fox Creek: HOT 19 sales | Average $537,979 | 3.2 months | 19 days Sales nearly tripled. Nineteen days to sell at 99% of asking. Hottest sub-market in the region, full stop.

Chartersville: HOT 21 sales | Average $511,167 | 3.0 months | 23 days Strong and fast, but new listings jumped 169%. Supply is coming. Sellers, your window is now.

Dieppe Center: WARM 19 sales | Average $442,853 | 3.1 months | 43 days Sales are up, but 43 days to sell tells you buyers are choosy. Priced right it moves, priced hopeful it sits.

Dieppe East: TOO SMALL TO RATE 2 sales | Average $317,000 Two sales. Moving on.

Buying in Dieppe: pre-approval locked, decision-ready, no lowballing fresh listings. Selling: best conditions in the region, but buyers paying $500K expect $500K presentation.

RIVERVIEW: WARM

40 sales (down 4.8%) | Average $408,565 (up 2.4%) | Median $377,450 (up 6.1%) | 2.3 months of inventory | 34 days | 97.6% of asking

Riverview sold more homes than it listed in June: 40 sales against 39 new listings. Tightest inventory in Greater Moncton. But buyers have gotten price-sensitive. Sellers were getting over 100% of asking a year ago. Now it's 97.6%. Scarcity is not a blank cheque anymore.

Riverview West: HOT 23 sales | Average $411,530 | 1.7 months | 21 days Sold more than it listed. Twenty-one days. This is where the action is.

Riverview East: WARM 10 sales | Average $396,100 | 3.1 months | 38 days Solid but slowing. Inventory up nearly 50% from last June.

Riverview Center: BALANCED 7 sales | Average $416,629 | 2.9 months | 55 days Low inventory but 55 days to sell and 96% of asking. Buyers here are patient. Sellers shouldn't be greedy.

Buying in Riverview: hesitate a week on a good listing in the West and you're writing a backup offer. Selling: you still have the edge, just not a 2021 edge.

SHEDIAC AND THE COAST: COOLING

23 sales (down 32.4%) | Average $435,087 (up 7.7%) | Median $423,000 (up 8.3%) | 7.0 months of inventory | 45 days | 98.2% of asking

The most misread market in the report, which is why it gets its own section below. Sales down a third, days on market more than doubled (20.5 last June, 45 now), seven months of inventory. That is buyer's market territory on the coast for the first time in years. Quality properties still command strong prices. Everything else sits.

Shediac East / Cap Pele: TOO SMALL TO RATE 4 sales | Average $348,725 | 13.5 months Four sales and over a year of inventory. Small numbers, but the direction is unmistakable.

Buying on the coast: the most leverage you've had in five years. Anything sitting past 45 days is a conversation worth having. Selling: aspirational summer pricing worked in 2021. In 2026 it produces a stale listing and a price reduction. Price it right or wait a year.

MY TAKE: THE NUMBER EVERYONE WILL READ WRONG

Shediac's average price is up 7.7%. The coast is booming, right?

No. When only 23 homes sell in a month, the average tells you which homes sold, not what homes are worth. A few strong waterfront sales drag the number up while the market softens underneath. Days on market doubled. Inventory hit seven months. Those are not boom numbers.

In thin markets, trust days on market and inventory over average price. Every time. Price data tells you about the past. Inventory data tells you about your negotiation.

THE BOTTOM LINE

• Buying in Dieppe or Riverview West: move fast, no games.

• Buying in Moncton Center or Shediac: take your time, negotiate hard.

• Selling anywhere: your first three weeks decide everything. Price to today's market, not last year's memory.

The regional average applies perfectly to nobody. Your street, your price range and your timeline are what actually matter, and that analysis takes a conversation, not a stats sheet.

I read all 365 pages of this report so you don't have to. If you want to know what page your house is on, call or text 506-852-6477. No pressure, just straight answers.
