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:
Established neighbourhoods close to downtown amenities, schools, and transit. A mix of older character homes and renovated properties.
Popular with families for its proximity to parks, Moncton High School, and the Magnetic Hill area. Strong resale values.
Newer developments with modern homes, excellent schools, and easy highway access. Great for young families and upsizers.
Close to retail, restaurants, and services. Diverse housing stock including condos, townhomes, and detached homes.
Quiet residential pocket with larger lots, mature trees, and excellent access to Riverview across the Gunningsville Bridge.
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
