Information and statistics on the latest trends in the New Brunswick real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year-over-year trends in New Brunswick show a mixed picture, with typical home values edging down about 0.3% while inventory climbed roughly 23%. At the same time, buyer activity has strengthened, as pending sales jumped about 31% and new listings surged nearly 138% compared with a year ago.
In February 2026, the typical home value was about $518,500, a bit below Middlesex County’s $535,000, and homes spent a median of 87 days on the market, up just over 10% from last year but down nearly 15% from the prior month. With 75 homes for sale, 19 new listings, and 21 pending sales, New Brunswick had about 6.3 months of supply, only about 5% of sellers lowering prices, and roughly half of homes selling above list at just over 100% of asking.
Looking ahead to March 2026, projections point to a slight cooling, with the typical home value expected to dip to about $510,250 and the median list price to around $473,775, while inventory is forecast to tick up to 77 homes. Even so, the area still leans toward sellers, with a market gauge of 36 indicating they hold some advantage over buyers. In this evolving environment, both buyers and sellers in New Brunswick can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local real estate agent who understands these shifting conditions.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Geeta Manek was great! I had a pleasant home buying experience.”
“I highly recommend Sharif and Co. The whole team was professional and sold my home quickly and above asking price.”
“My agent was Lucy Phelan at Keller Williams, and I had a great experience working with both Lucy and her brother Richard. Both had provided me with their expert advice, they would take extra steps to educate you and walk you thru the home shopping process. They would work on my schedule, try their best to answer all my questions and would point me to the right direction when I was looking for the lender, inspector, lawyer, etc. As a home buyer in this "Bidding War" market, most of my offers were turned down; however, both Lucy and Rich have continuously provided me encouragement to keep trying and looking. I cannot remember how many houses we have looked together...and when I was not able to look at the houses in person, they would video call me to conduct a virtual home showing. In general, they are exceptionally good with people skill, nice/friendly people to talk with and they show care on other things then just home buying. I would like to work with them again in the future and would recommend them to any home buyer/seller.”
