August broke the pattern that held all summer. Sales activity pulled back sharply, inventory jumped across almost every community, and two of our tightest markets flipped into buyer’s-market territory in a single month. But “the Moncton market” isn’t one market — it’s thirteen. Here’s what actually happened, area by area.
Greater Moncton, all residential property types, August 2026.
Months of inventory by area — tightest to loosest. Areas with fewer than 10 sales in August 2026 aren’t included; too few transactions to read reliably.
Moncton
Moncton overall cooled, but the story underneath is three very different neighbourhoods.
|
|
Moncton
COOLING
90 sales · $403,538 avg · $369,500 median · 5.5 months of inventory · 49 days on market
Sales −4.3% vs. July 2026 · MOI +0.3 mo vs. July 2026
|
|
Moncton North
WARM
42 sales · $418,113 avg · $382,375 median · 3.4 months of inventory · 52 days on market
Sales +5.0% vs. July 2026 · MOI −0.7 mo vs. July 2026
Inventory alone still says favourable-to-sellers, but homes are taking more than twice as long to sell as they did a year ago (51.5 days vs. 21).

Moncton East
COOLING
24 sales · $444,506 avg · $397,500 median · 5.8 months of inventory · 48 days on market
Sales −11.1% vs. July 2026 · MOI +0.7 mo vs. July 2026
Prices rose here even as the market loosened — average price is up 9.6% year-over-year, but months of inventory climbed from 4.4 to 5.8. Higher prices don’t automatically mean a hotter market.

Moncton Center
COLD
18 sales · $346,389 avg · $347,000 median · 11.4 months of inventory · 54 days on market
Sales −30.8% vs. July 2026 · MOI +4.4 mo vs. July 2026
The clearest buyer’s market in Greater Moncton right now. 205 active listings against just 18 sales.

Moncton West
TOO SMALL TO RATE
6 sales · $309,083 avg · $304,250 median · 1.5 months of inventory · 20 days on market
Sales +500.0% vs. July 2026 · MOI −8.5 mo vs. July 2026

Dieppe
Dieppe is where August’s shift shows up hardest. A month ago it was one of the tightest markets in the region.
|
|
Dieppe
COLD
25 sales · $416,930 avg · $392,500 median · 8.5 months of inventory · 43 days on market
Sales −51.9% vs. July 2026 · MOI +4.8 mo vs. July 2026
|

Dieppe Fox Creek
COOLING
12 sales · $458,192 avg · $396,250 median · 5.5 months of inventory · 26 days on market
Sales −45.5% vs. July 2026 · MOI +2.6 mo vs. July 2026
Still the fastest-moving pocket of Dieppe at 25.5 days on market — just fewer buyers showing up to compete for it.
|
|
Dieppe Chartersville
TOO SMALL TO RATE
6 sales · $372,792 avg · $378,750 median · 12.8 months of inventory · 63 days on market
Sales −60.0% vs. July 2026 · MOI +8.3 mo vs. July 2026
Active listings are up 87.8% year-over-year. Too few sales to rate, but the inventory build is worth watching.
|
|
Dieppe Center
TOO SMALL TO RATE
7 sales · $384,029 avg · $337,500 median · 9.0 months of inventory · 48 days on market
Sales −46.2% vs. July 2026 · MOI +4.7 mo vs. July 2026
|

Dieppe East
TOO SMALL TO RATE
0 sales · — avg · — median · — months of inventory · — on market
Sales −100.0% vs. July 2026 · MOI n/a vs. July 2026
Zero sales in August. Two new listings, seven active — not enough activity to say anything meaningful about this pocket this month.

Riverview
The tightest market of the summer just isn’t anymore.
|
|
Riverview
BALANCED
21 sales · $378,176 avg · $350,000 median · 4.0 months of inventory · 34 days on market
Sales −41.7% vs. July 2026 · MOI +1.7 mo vs. July 2026
|
|
Riverview West
TOO SMALL TO RATE
8 sales · $401,175 avg · $382,450 median · 5.3 months of inventory · 28 days on market
Sales −52.9% vs. July 2026 · MOI +3.3 mo vs. July 2026
|
|
Riverview East
HOT
10 sales · $332,740 avg · $343,500 median · 1.5 months of inventory · 37 days on market
Sales −33.3% vs. July 2026 · MOI +0.0 mo vs. July 2026
At the very edge of a reliable sample — 10 sales is our floor for rating a market. Still, 1.5 months of inventory makes this the tightest rated pocket in the region.

Riverview Center
TOO SMALL TO RATE
3 sales · $468,300 avg · $410,000 median · 8.7 months of inventory · 36 days on market
Sales −25.0% vs. July 2026 · MOI +2.2 mo vs. July 2026

Shediac and Coast
One of the only areas where sales activity actually grew.

Shediac and Coast
COOLING
31 sales · $424,706 avg · $425,000 median · 5.7 months of inventory · 55 days on market

Shediac East / Cap-Pelé
TOO SMALL TO RATE
6 sales · $301,833 avg · $337,500 median · 8.3 months of inventory · 54 days on market

Property Type Matters
Single-detached sales fell 24.1% year-over-year (176 sold, 6.2 months of inventory) — a materially bigger hit than the market overall. Semi-detached homes went the other way: 49 sold, up 48.5% from a year ago, with a much tighter 3.2 months of inventory. Same region, same month, two different markets — your property type and price range matter more than any single headline number.
