Thank you — Richard will review your property details and be in touch within 24 hours with your free comparative market analysis.
Online home value estimators like Zestimate and HouseCanary use algorithms trained on national data. They don’t know about the new kitchen you renovated, the school zone your home is in, or what sold two streets over last month. Richard does.
Based on Real MLS Data
Richard pulls actual sold prices from the local MLS — not estimates. Your valuation reflects what buyers are actually paying for comparable homes right now.
Adjusted for Your Specific Home
No two homes are identical. Richard accounts for your lot size, condition, renovations, layout, and neighbourhood to give you a number that reflects your actual property.
Delivered Within 24 Hours
Richard prepares your comparative market analysis personally and follows up within 24 hours — not a week later with a generic PDF.
Zero Pressure, Zero Obligation
A free valuation is just that — free. Richard will never pressure you to list. If you decide to sell later, he’d love to help. If not, that’s completely fine too.

How Richard Calculates Your Home’s Value
A proper home valuation is called a Comparative Market Analysis — or CMA. It’s not a guess and it’s not an algorithm. It’s a structured analysis of what similar homes have sold for in your area, adjusted for the specific characteristics of your property. Here’s how Richard does it:
Richard searches the local MLS for homes similar to yours that have sold within the past 3–6 months — same neighbourhood, similar size, age, and property type.
No two homes are identical. Richard makes dollar adjustments for differences in bedroom count, bathrooms, garage, lot size, basement, and condition.
Active listings show you your competition. If similar homes are listed at a certain price, that sets buyer expectations — and affects what your home can realistically achieve.
Is inventory low? Are homes selling over asking? Richard factors in current market momentum — including seasonal trends and days-on-market data — to refine the estimate.
Recent renovations, updated kitchens, finished basements, and premium finishes all add value. Richard accounts for your home’s unique features in the final number.
Richard presents a realistic market value range — not a single magic number — and explains the pricing strategy that will attract qualified buyers at the best possible price.
What Affects Your Home’s Value in Moncton?
Understanding what drives value in the Greater Moncton market helps you make smart decisions — whether you’re preparing to sell, planning a renovation, or just curious about your equity position.
The single biggest driver of value. A home in Dieppe or Riverview commands a premium over a comparable home in some Moncton neighbourhoods — purely due to location, school zone, and community profile.
Very High ImpactSquare footage, bedroom count, bathroom count, and lot size all directly influence value. Open-concept layouts command a premium in today’s market versus older compartmentalized floor plans.
Very High ImpactUpdated kitchens and bathrooms deliver the strongest return on renovation investment. Buyers pay meaningfully more for modern, move-in-ready kitchens with quality finishes.
High ImpactNewer homes command higher prices. For older homes, condition matters enormously — a well-maintained 1980s bungalow can outperform a neglected newer home in the same neighbourhood.
High ImpactIn Greater Moncton’s climate, a double attached garage adds significant value — often $15,000–$25,000 over a comparable home without one. Single garages and parking pads also add measurable value.
Medium-High ImpactLarger lots command premiums, particularly in Riverview and Moncton’s established neighbourhoods. Corner lots, backing onto greenspace, and mature landscaping all add measurable value.
Medium ImpactWith NB energy costs, buyers pay close attention to heating systems. Heat pumps, natural gas furnaces, and energy-efficient windows add value. Oil-only systems or aging furnaces can reduce value.
Medium ImpactA finished, dry basement adds meaningful square footage and value. Unfinished basements still add value through storage and potential. Any history of water intrusion is a significant negative.
Medium ImpactHomes that show well sell faster and for more money. Fresh paint, decluttering, and professional photography influence how buyers perceive value — even when the underlying home is identical.
Presentation ImpactAssessed Value vs. Market Value — What’s the Difference?
This is one of the most common points of confusion for Moncton homeowners. Your property assessment and your home’s market value are two very different numbers — and confusing them can lead to serious pricing mistakes.
Service New Brunswick assesses your property annually to calculate your property tax bill. The assessed value is based on a mass appraisal model using neighbourhood data — it is NOT an accurate reflection of what your home would sell for today. Assessed values in NB frequently lag behind actual market values by 10–30% in a rising market.
Market value is the price a willing buyer and a willing seller agree on in an open market — based on recent comparable sales, current demand, and your home’s specific condition and features. This is the number that matters when you’re selling, refinancing, or assessing your equity position. Richard’s CMA gives you this number accurately.
In Greater Moncton’s rising market, many homeowners are surprised to learn their market value is significantly higher than their assessed value. The reverse can also be true in softening markets. The only way to know your true market value is a proper CMA from a local REALTOR® who has access to actual MLS sold data — not a tax assessment notice.
What About Online Estimators?
Tools like Zestimate, Properly, and HouseCanary provide ballpark estimates based on public data and algorithms. They can be a useful starting point, but they have significant limitations in smaller markets like Greater Moncton where the data density is lower. They don’t know about your recent kitchen renovation, your finished basement, or the fact that your street has unusually strong resale demand. Richard’s CMA accounts for all of these things.
