Moncton Housing Market Balanced in Fall 2025: Trends & What Buyers Should Know

Inventory Is Rising — More Choices for Buyers

The Greater Moncton market is showing signs of becoming more balanced going into fall 2025. Active listings have increased significantly compared to this time last year, giving buyers more options. While demand remains steady—especially among young couples, newcomers, and out-of-province buyers—it’s not as frenzied as in recent years, which means more breathing room for negotiations.

Prices Still Climbing Modestly

Year-to-date, average home prices across Moncton have increased by about 2-2.5%, depending on property type. This modest growth reflects a market that’s cooling down from previous overheated conditions, but still sees value appreciation. Sellers can expect good returns in well-maintained homes in desirable neighbourhoods, while buyers should budget wisely and focus on properties with long-term potential.

What This Means for Relocation Buyers

For families or individuals relocating to Moncton, these shifts are good news. More inventory = better chances to find what you want (size, location, price). The slowdown in competition reduces stress, and you can be more selective. Regions like Dieppe, Riverview, and parts of Moncton with newer growth are particularly active. If you’re moving from a pricier city, you may find your dollar goes further here in Moncton.

Tips for Buyers & Sellers This Fall

Buyers: Get pre-approved early, set realistic expectations on condition vs price versus commute. Market is giving you more leverage than in past years.
Sellers: Homes in great shape, priced fairly, and marketed well will still stand out. Consider small updates or staging to make your property more attractive.
Relocators: Visit neighbourhoods in person, check amenities, schools, and commuting costs. Moncton offers strong quality of life, but you’ll want to make sure the area fits your lifestyle and needs.

Outlook: What to Watch For

Interest rates, new listings especially in growing suburbs, and migration trends from other provinces will be key indicators for how balanced the market stays. If inventory continues rising and demand remains steady, we may see further softening of price growth—but stability could be a win for most people involved.
