For owners in Saint John, Rothesay, Quispamsis and Hampton
What is my home worth? Start with the real numbers.
Most valuation pages ask for your details and tell you nothing. This one goes the other way. Look up your address, see what the province has it assessed at, and see what homes at that assessment have actually been selling for. Then decide whether you want the proper version.
What that assessment is worth in the real market
Your assessment is not your price.
It is set for taxation and it lags the market. Across 3,196 sales in this area since January 2025, the median came in 17.8% above the assessed value.

That middle band is $93,000 wide, and it only covers half of all sales. A quarter came in below it and a quarter above. Which is the honest reason a number off a website cannot price your house: the spread between two homes with the same assessment is decided by condition, kitchens, roofs, and what the back of the property looks at.

Sale prices and assessed values from Service New Brunswick property data, published as provincial open data. Transfers far outside market range are excluded as family transfers and bulk deals. This describes what sale prices did relative to assessments. It is not an appraisal, it says nothing about whether any assessment is correct, and it is not tax advice.

The proper version
Now the part a website cannot do.
I will walk the house, pull the comparable sales that actually match it rather than the ones that share a postcode, and give you a number with the reasoning attached. If I think you should wait, or spend two thousand dollars before listing, or not sell at all, I will say that too.
- Comparable sales that match your home, with the adjustments shown
- What to fix, what to leave, and what will not return its cost
- A pricing strategy for this market rather than last year's
- No obligation, and no pressure to list
