As we step into the autumn of 2023, it's time to take a closer look at the real estate market in South-East New Brunswick. In this article, we will compare the current state of the market to September of the previous year, highlighting key statistics and trends that are shaping the local real estate landscape. In September 2023, the South-East New Brunswick real estate market reported 325 properties sold to the Moncton MLS Board.
