About Westmorland County, NB

My report includes the City of Moncton, the City of Dieppe and the Town of Riverview.

In 2009 my Monthly Metro Real Estate Market Reports will show sales of existing and new construction separately.

Also I'll now include a three month period to reduce fluctuations caused by inconsistent reporting of sales as they occur.

I caution that average price information can be useful in establishing trends over time, but does not indicate actual prices in cities and towns comprised of widely divergent neighbourhoods and age of properties.
