The June 2026 housing numbers from the New Brunswick Real Estate Board are officially in, and we are seeing some fascinating shifts. If you’ve been waiting for more options to hit the market, there is good news—inventory is on the rise. However, prices continue to climb steadily, keeping the market balanced but still slightly favoring sellers.
Here is a quick, scannable breakdown of what happened in June 2026 compared to June 2025:
The Big Picture
- More Choice for Buyers: New listings jumped by 6.9%, with 1,674 homes hitting the market this month.
- Sales Experienced a Slight Cool Down: Overall home sales dipped 4.9% year-over-year, with 974 units sold compared to 1,024 last June.
- Prices Keep Climbing: The overall benchmark price for a home in New Brunswick rose 6.0% to $342,600.
Breakdown by Property Type
The market is behaving quite differently depending on the style of home you are looking to buy or sell:
| Property Type | Units Sold | Sales Change (YoY) | Benchmark Price | Price Change (YoY) |
| Single Family | 876 | ⬇️ Down 2.7% | $343,900 | ⬆️ Up 5.9% |
| Townhouse | 39 | ⬆️ Up 14.7% | $265,400 | ⬆️ Up 4.3% |
| Apartment | 12 | ⬇️ Down 45.5% | $290,500 | ⬆️ Up 1.7% |
Key Takeaways
- Townhouses are booming: Demand and sales for townhouses saw a significant double-digit spike (+14.7%), making them a highly competitive segment as buyers look for affordable alternatives.
- Apartment sales slowed significantly: While apartment prices remained relatively stable (+1.7%), the volume of sales dropped sharply by nearly half (-45.5%).
What This Means For You
If you are thinking of selling: Market conditions still lean slightly in your favor, and equity is growing. However, with new listings up, you face more competition than you did last year. Setting the right pricing and marketing strategy from day one is essential.
If you are looking to buy: The influx of new listings means you finally have more options to choose from. While prices are still rising, the slight cooldown in overall sales volume means you may experience a bit less frantic bidding-war pressure in certain segments.
