The mild Winter of 2011-2012 and low interests rates made no difference and did not help lift first quarter residential unit sales in the municipalities of Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview (reported on MLS®). My chart below reveals the second lowest first quarter in the last six years. Unit sales were off for new and well as existing dwellings in metro Moncton. As the Spring building season begins, I expect builders are anxious to move their new house inventory carried over from last season.

Along with some assistance I'm hosting a Super Open House on three new constructions in the Carriage Hill subdivision in Riverview, just across the Gunningville Bridge from Moncton. I've set an early time for the Super Open House, before all the television broadcasts leading up to the Super Bowl.
And to keep in the spirit of the big game day, those who attend the open house may have their name placed in a bowl from which we will draw one name who will receive two tickets to the Game Day Tailgate Buffet at Casino New Brunswick.

OK so 2011 is not quite over yet. However I say why wait for the last few days.Here is the big picture. In 2011, unit sales of existing properties are up
slightly and unit sales of new housing are down slightly. There you have it. No boom, no bust. Residential housing in the metro Moncton area is doing alright.
(note: "metro" is only the City of Moncton, the City of Dieppe and the Town of Riverview).
