The Hard Numbers!

Before we started to answer the rest of yesterday’s blog we thought we would share the most up to date stats from the Saint John Real Estate Board.

As with numbers or stats they can have a variety of interpretations one simple fact is that we are selling on average 154 properties a month and there is inventory to sell. The average sale price is around $160,430 which is a drop of about 7% from last year at this time. One fact we found interesting this month was that the price range that had the most sales was between $260,000 and $349,999 we feel this is some good news. Over all the market is relatively balanced as to what is selling.
