Today I composed my Canada Day Metro Moncton Real Estate Market Report, hung out the flag, did a little weeding in my front perennial patch, and made appointments to show a couple of houses tomorrow.

Now a lot of people in the greater Moncton area are hoping the clouds that have blocked the sun all day won't release any rain tonight to spoil the fireworks . The highlight of my Canada Day will be going to an outdoor performance by a local rock 'n' rolk group at 7:30 this evening- The GTO Band . Video to follow.

RAIN, RAIN , STAY AWAY

However, with the amount of energy saving rebates and grants available from a variety of sources, finding and applying for them can seem daunting. So, that's why I’ve compiled an easy to follow list of energy savings specifically for homeowners in Saint John, New Brunswick.

I’ve done the research for you, so below are ways to help you save! It’s been broken into categories that will hopefully be easy to navigate.

The total number year-to-date of residential sales within the City of Moncton reported to the GMREB is down by 28.5%. This number stands out when compared to the City of Dieppe (-8%) and the Town of Riverview (-17.5%). The overall number for the three municipalities is down 22.7%. Learn how to take advantage of the current real estate market on my blog - www.blogMoncton.com.

Because a significant percentage of residential sales in Moncton are new construction housing, I prepared a chart for existing and a chart for new.

Well, well, well things are improving as we see the Spring sales getting ever so gradually better and better. This is so typical of the Fredericton Market where each month from January to June we see gradual improvement quite consistantly year after year.

We can readily see that April sales volume has improved from a -16% in March to a -12% in April. Unit sales have increased from a -20% in March to a -15% in April. Listings are holding constant at a -3% month to month. This represents a very gradual slowing of our market so that it is not visable to the average consumer. In fact the decrease in our market is so subliminal that the unit price in Fredericton is still going up as the buyer here believes we are in a prosperity market.

Again, I believe this gradual increase in production will continue into June. Thus having our market end up with a -10% year over year. The residential market will continue to hold it's own, however, the commercial market is doing very well as we see many substantial buildings being erected as I write this.

So Folks, look for a continued market improvement as we approach summer. We stll can see lots of opportunity out there for your main cliental, the " first time home buyer". Good luck and have a great summer.

Talk to you in May end.
