Halfway through Spring 2009 it seems the existing and new construction sales have now settled on a similar number, -22.
Residential unit sales for both categories year to date are down 22%  from the previous year.
Even with the lower number of sales, the number of active residential listings has not risen from previous years.

The average sale price increase year to date for existing residential properties is 3.5%.

new construction properties sold in Moncton - Dieppe - Riverview

The average sale price increase year to date for new residential properties is almost nil.

I caution that average price information can be useful in establishing trends over time, but does not indicate actual prices in municipalities comprised of widely divergent neighbourhoods.
