new brunswick: Real Estate Market Inventory Shortage Not Surprising - 03/18/21 03:52 AM
In our Atlantic Canadian Province of New Brunswick, it should be no surprise that we are experiencing a SELLER'S market in real estate. The chart above clearly shows the New Brunswick real estate market over the last few years has trended in favour of Seller's.
In 2020, after the initial shock of the Spring pandemic lockdown, the Summer brought a flood Buyers. And the steady stream of Buyers shows no signs of waning as we enter Spring 2021.
The inventory of listings remains at all time lows. Buyers would be wise to seek full representation in this market.

new brunswick: First Quarter New Brunswick Housing Starts - 04/09/13 04:46 AM
The first quarter of the year is the least productive quarter for new housing starts. A housing start is recorded when the footings and foundation go in. This is, after all, New Brunswick, Canada. A contractor must be truly motivated to take on the discomfort as well as the added expense of working outside in below freezing weather between snowstorms in January, February and March. I've prepared the graph below to illustrate housing starts recorded in the last few years. Total housing starts in the first quarter of 2013 were about average, although single detached starts were off.

new brunswick: New Brunswick Homebuyer Closing Costs - 01/14/08 11:21 AM
