🧭 Verdict: A Market Finding Its Balance
July’s numbers point to a market continuing to move toward equilibrium. More listings, longer selling times, and a sales-to-new-listings ratio under 60% suggest conditions are softening slightly, giving buyers more leverage than they’ve had in years.
📈 Year-Over-Year Market Evolution
| Year | Months of Inventory | Avg Price | Active Listings |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 2020 | 2.3 | $327,606 | 1,175 |
| July 2022 | 2.9 | $382,460 | 1,215 |
| July 2024 | 3.5 | $362,000 | 1,217 |
| July 2025 | 4.4 | $379,603 | 1,473 |
We’re now seeing the highest inventory levels in over five years—yet prices remain steady, showing the market’s resilience.
What’s New This Month?
🏡 Listings Continue to Climb
Active listings surged to 1,473, giving buyers the broadest selection in recent memory. But with homes taking 33 days on average to sell, patience is proving necessary for sellers.
💰 Price Trends Stabilizing
The average home price ticked up 4.8% year-over-year, but median pricing softened slightly, suggesting sellers are adjusting expectations in response to growing competition.
🔄 Negotiation Is Back
The sale-to-list price ratio sits at 97.9%, meaning buyers are negotiating again—something rarely seen during the peak of Moncton’s frenzied market.
What This Means for You
👀 For Buyers:
The summer market is giving you options.
Target listings sitting 30+ days for better negotiation opportunities.
Secure mortgage pre-approvals to move quickly on the right property.
🏠 For Sellers:
You’ll need to compete.
Professional photos, compelling listing descriptions, and accurate pricing are critical.
Be prepared for offers with conditions and flexible closing terms.
📈 For Investors:
This is a moment to strategically enter.
Consider multi-unit properties or neighborhoods near schools and transit.
Leverage the increase in inventory to find undervalued opportunities.
Looking Ahead: Late-Summer Strategy
With inventory high and price growth flattening, the rest of the summer could bring opportunities for buyers and a call for sharper strategies from sellers. If the Bank of Canada adjusts rates later this year, the market could quickly shift again.
