Did you meet your goals or achieve your resolutions in Q1? There is always something to learn from the first three months to help you navigate your second quarter.

The month of April marks two important changes in the year: taxes and the transition into spring. The end of winter opens up more doors for sellers and buyers in the real estate world. So, to help you in your real estate decisions for the second quarter, let me give you some quick facts about what transpired in the Fredericton real estate market from January to March 2018.

The first quarter of 2018 saw 271 homes sold , up 18 per cent from the same quarter last year; nice production for the start of the year. The total value of homes sold was $46.3 million. The overall average sale price for January to March was $170,726, reflecting an impressive increase of 6.19 per cent from the average price of $160,774 in the same period last year.

Being able to find “how to” information online doesn’t necessarily mean you should do it all yourself. In fact, in many cases it’s better to let an expert do it for you. This is especially true when it comes to real estate. Sure, you can try to figure out your home’s current market value on your own. But, if you let an expert do it for you, you’ll end up with a more accurate number — and one that is more tailored to your market and property.
