Popular Moncton Neighbourhoods

Moncton offers a diverse range of neighbourhoods to suit different lifestyles, budgets, and family needs. Here’s a quick overview of the areas Richard works in most frequently:

North End / Moncton Core

Established neighbourhoods close to downtown amenities, schools, and transit. A mix of older character homes and renovated properties.

Parkton / Wheeler Park

Popular with families for its proximity to parks, Moncton High School, and the Magnetic Hill area. Strong resale values.

Hildegard / Mapleton

Newer developments with modern homes, excellent schools, and easy highway access. Great for young families and upsizers.

Mountain Road Corridor

Close to retail, restaurants, and services. Diverse housing stock including condos, townhomes, and detached homes.

Sunny Brae / Pine Glen

Quiet residential pocket with larger lots, mature trees, and excellent access to Riverview across the Gunningsville Bridge.

Magnetic Hill Area

Newer construction, larger homes, and strong appreciation. Popular with move-up buyers and professionals.

What Kind of Homes Are Available in Moncton?

Moncton’s housing stock is diverse enough to serve almost any buyer profile:

Single Detached Homes

The most common property type in Moncton, ranging from $280,000 for older bungalows to $700,000+ for newer construction on larger lots. Most families target the $350,000–$500,000 range for a solid 3–4 bedroom detached home.

Condominiums & Townhomes

Moncton has a growing condo market, particularly in the downtown core and Mountain Road area. Typical prices range from $220,000 to $380,000. Townhomes offer a great middle ground for first-time buyers or downsizers who want low maintenance without giving up space.

New Construction

Several active developments in Hildegard, Mapleton, and the Magnetic Hill area offer new builds starting around $450,000. Richard works with buyers navigating new construction contracts — which carry different risks and obligations than a standard resale purchase.

Investment Properties & Multi-Unit

Moncton has strong rental demand driven by UdeM students, hospital workers, and a growing immigrant population. Duplex and triplex properties offer solid cap rates for investors looking for stable cash flow in an affordable market.

Save Thousands When You Sell

Richard’s 3% total commission model covers everything — listing, marketing, negotiation, and closing.

Save $8,000+

On a $400,000 Moncton home, traditional commission at 5% = $20,000.
Richard’s model at 3% = $12,000. That’s $8,000 back in your pocket — with the same full-service experience.

Buying a Home in Moncton — What to Expect

Moncton’s spring market (March–June) is the most competitive period, with well-priced homes in desirable neighbourhoods sometimes attracting multiple offers. The fall market (September–November) offers more negotiating room. Here’s a general timeline for buyers:

Step 1: Get Pre-Approved. Work with a mortgage broker to confirm your budget before you start viewing homes. Sellers take pre-approved buyers more seriously, especially in a competitive spring market.

Step 2: Define Your Priorities. What matters most — neighbourhood, school zone, commute, lot size, or price? Richard’s local knowledge helps you make trade-offs with confidence.

Step 3: View, Offer, Inspect. Richard will arrange viewings, prepare a competitive offer strategy, and guide you through the inspection process — including what to watch for in older Moncton homes.

Step 4: Close. New Brunswick’s land transfer tax is a flat 1% of the purchase price (no first-time buyer rebate). Budget $1,500–$2,000 for legal fees, plus a home inspection ($500–$700). Richard walks you through every closing cost so there are no surprises.

Selling a Home in Moncton — What Richard Delivers

Richard’s listing service includes professional photography, MLS® exposure, targeted social media marketing, and open house coordination — all for a total commission of just 3%. There’s no cutting corners on the marketing side; what changes is the fee, not the service.

Richard’s 5.00-star rating on RankMyAgent (22 verified reviews) reflects a consistent track record of happy Moncton sellers who got great results without overpaying for it.

Frequently Asked Questions — Moncton Real Estate

What is the average home price in Moncton in 2026?
The average sale price for a home in Moncton was approximately $386,000 in 2025, up about 2.4% year-over-year. RE/MAX projects a further 2.7% increase through 2026. Detached homes in popular family neighbourhoods typically range from $340,000 to $550,000, while entry-level condos and townhomes start around $220,000.
Is it a good time to buy in Moncton in 2026?
For most buyers, yes. Moncton continues to benefit from population growth, inter-provincial migration, and prices that remain far below Canadian averages. With the Bank of Canada’s overnight rate forecast around 2.25% through most of 2026, mortgage rates are more accessible than they were in 2023–2024. If you’re planning to stay in the home for 3+ years, buying in Moncton now is generally a sound financial decision.
What are typical closing costs when buying in Moncton?
Budget approximately 2–4% of the purchase price beyond your down payment for closing costs. On a $400,000 home, expect: New Brunswick land transfer tax (~$4,000), legal fees ($1,500–$2,000), home inspection ($500–$700), title insurance ($200–$400), and possible CMHC mortgage insurance if your down payment is under 20%. Richard walks every buyer through a personalized closing cost estimate before they make an offer.
How does Richard’s 3% commission work?
Richard charges a total commission of 3% on the sale price — split between the listing side and the buyer’s agent — compared to the typical 4–5% charged by most agents in Greater Moncton. This covers full MLS® listing, professional photography, marketing, and Richard’s full representation through to closing. On a $400,000 sale, you save approximately $8,000 compared to a 5% commission structure.
Does Richard serve all of Moncton and Greater Moncton?
Yes. Richard works with buyers and sellers throughout the City of Moncton and the broader Greater Moncton area, including Riverview, Dieppe, and Shediac. He is based at 1888 Mountain Road, Moncton NB and serves the full region with local expertise built over 16+ years.
