Live market data
The Greater Saint John market, in real numbers.
Most agents tell you the market is “hot” or “balanced” and leave it there. I’d rather show you the actual numbers. This pulls live from MLS® and refreshes hourly, so you always see what’s really on the market across Greater Saint John.

The spread of asking prices
The full range of what is listed, with the midpoint marked.
The average sits above the median, which means a smaller number of higher-priced homes is pulling the average upward. The median is the better read on a typical home. Both markers sit well to the left because a handful of high-end listings stretch the top of the range. That gap is the point: most of what is for sale is nowhere near the ceiling.
Median asking price by community
Each dot sits at that community's median on a shared scale.
Where the inventory sits
Drawn on a dollar axis, so a wider bar covers a wider price range rather than more homes. Counts are on each bar. The last band is open-ended.

Snapshot of 309 homes for sale across Greater Saint John as of October 12, 2026, out of 446 once vacant land and commercial property are counted in. A house listed twice, such as a single family home also listed as multi-family, counts once. Every price figure above is homes only. These are current asking prices, not sold prices, and give a live read on the market rather than a formal appraisal. Time on market reflects homes still listed today, not how fast homes are selling. Refreshed hourly from MLS® data via CREA’s Data Distribution Facility. For a precise valuation of a specific home, ask Andrew.
122
homes newly listed in the last 30 days
A rolling window rather than the calendar month, so a reading taken mid month is not half a month of supply.
178
listings gone since September 2026
Not a sales figure. A listing also leaves when it expires, is withdrawn, or is relisted under a new number.
58
asking-price cuts since September 2026
Median cut $22,550, among homes listed in both months. Homes that cut and then sold count as departures instead, so this understates cutting.

So far this year 1,592 homes have sold across the board’s region, at a median of $350,000 (+2.9% on last year), selling for 102.6% of asking in a median of 24 days.
These cover Saint John and Area, the board’s region, which is wider than the 9 communities the live listing figures above are drawn from, so the two counts are not two readings of the same area. Sale to list price ratio, months of inventory and days on market are shown as levels rather than percentage changes, following the report. Each month is reported from data collected on the first calendar day and CREA revises figures between reports, so read the run of months as a direction rather than an exact series.

Affordability, live
The income it takes to buy the typical home.
A median price means little until it is translated into a paycheque. This is the qualifying arithmetic for the median September 2026 sale, with every assumption stated.

Median September 2026 sale price, qualified at the Bank of Canada posted conventional 5-year rate of 6.19% (2026-10-07), 25-year amortization, Saint John municipal tax on an assessment estimated from the measured sale-to-assessment gap, $150/month heat, 39% gross debt service ceiling. CMHC premium of 3.10% added to the insured case. This is what qualification arithmetic looks like for the median home, not advice about what anyone should borrow. Your lender’s numbers govern.

MLS® Home Price Index
Are prices actually going up?
A median moves when the mix of what sold moves. One quiet month at the top end drags it down without a single house changing price. The index prices the same specified home every month, so when it moves, prices moved.
$355,400
benchmark price, September 2026
- Year over year
- +1.1%
- Three years
- +20.6%
- Five years
- +46.4%
The high over this stretch was $364,500 in May 2026, so the benchmark sits 2.5% below it.
What the benchmark home actually is
Not an average and not a real listing. CREA specifies one house and prices that same house every month: three bedrooms, one bathroom, 1,604 square feet above ground, built in 1984, baseboard electric heat on municipal sewer. Nothing about it changes, so nothing but price can move the line.
January 2024 to September 2026, one point per month, read from the board’s published reports. CREA revises the index between reports, and early 2026 was revised sharply upward after publication, so this line is revision-aware: each report also publishes its own one, three, six and twelve month changes, and where the newest report’s view of a month disagrees with the value as first published by more than one percent, the newer view is drawn instead. 7 of the 33 points are corrected that way; the month pages below archive each report exactly as published.

The other side of the question
What it costs not to buy.
Everything above comes from listings, so it can only tell you what sellers are asking. These two come from CMHC’s annual survey of the rental market, and they describe the choice most people are actually weighing.

2.1%
vacancy rate
Share of purpose built rentals standing empty, 2025
+56%

Two bedroom average, 2020 to 2025
CMHC surveys the rental market each October and the results are published the following winter, so 2025 is the most recent year available and these figures change once a year rather than hourly. Purpose built rental buildings only, which means rented houses, condos and basement apartments are not counted. Adapted from Statistics Canada, tables 34-10-0133-01 and 34-10-0130-01 (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Rental Market Survey).

Numbers are a start. Context is the job.
A median is a useful headline, but it won’t tell you whether a specific street is holding value, which listings are overpriced, or how fast the right home will move. That read comes from working the market every day.
Tell me what you’re trying to do and I’ll put these numbers in context for your situation, your budget and your neighbourhood.
