Frequently Asked Questions
Are home prices dropping in Saint John?
Saint John remains one of the most affordable urban real estate markets in Canada. While we aren’t seeing drastic price drops, the market has stabilized, giving buyers more negotiating power and a better selection of inventory compared to the peak frenzy of previous years.
Is fall a good time to buy a home in New Brunswick?
Absolutely. The fall market often brings out serious sellers who want to close before the winter holidays. Additionally, the slightly cooler pace means less competition and fewer bidding wars for buyers.
How do current interest rates affect my buying power?
Recent shifts and stabilization in interest rates have provided buyers with more predictable borrowing costs. It’s always recommended to speak with a local mortgage broker to get pre-approved and understand exactly how much house you can afford in the current climate.
