The Fredericton real estate market — Sep 2026

Fredericton is New Brunswick's capital and its university town, a compact riverside city where the provincial government, the University of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University anchor a steadier employment base than most cities its size.

In September 2026, the MLS® benchmark price in Fredericton stood at $364,400, up 4.4% year over year. The average price, all property types combined, was $384,586 (+13.5% year over year). By property type: single-family $367,300 (+4.6%), one-storey $364,300 (+4.7%), two-storey $373,000 (+4.5%), and apartment $293,500 (−1.9%). There were 159 sales during the month, 9.1% fewer than a year earlier. With 4.7 months of inventory, the market is balanced by the standard board convention (under 4 months: sellers; 4 to 6: balanced; over 6: buyers). Homes in Fredericton took an average of 28 days to sell. Over five years, prices are up 74%. Source: New Brunswick REALTORS® du Nouveau-Brunswick (NBREB) / ACI, September 2026.

These figures come from the monthly report the Canadian Real Estate Association prepares for the New Brunswick REALTORS® du Nouveau-Brunswick, and they cover the board's region rather than the city limits alone. The price line is not the only number worth reading: when every property type moves in the same direction and by a similar amount, the change usually reflects broad-based demand rather than a shift in what happens to be selling, and inventory and the sold-to-list ratio show a turn in the balance of power in negotiating room months before it shows up in prices.
