New Brunswick is the only Canadian Maritime province where English and French are the official languages. There are approximately 33% Francophones living in New Brunswick. The province is located east of Quebec on the Bay of Fundy, making it a hot spot for whale watchers. It is also known for its extreme tides and abundant natural beauty. It is a diverse area of the country when it comes to the economy, as it is not heavily reliant on just one industry. Instead, rural areas have many natural resources, including forestry, mining, farming, and fishing.
In April 2023, New Brunswick sold 761 units, a decrease of 27% from the previous year. Overall, April home sales dropped 15.5% from the five-year average and 1.6% below the 10-year average. Year over year, home sales declined across the province, including Greater Moncton (-21.8%), Fredericton (-28%), Northern and Valley Regions (-28.5%), and Saint John (-32.9%.). April’s average housing price was $299,964, a 5.8% decrease year over year. Combined with a decline in listings by 30.4%, it’s surprising that prices haven’t risen. New listings were drastically down,18.9% below the five-year average and 29.3% below the 10-year.
As an Atlantic province, New Brunswick tends to see slightly higher mortgage rates as the area is less competitive than Central and Western Canada. With a small population of just under 750,000 and considering the province’s regulatory climate, home buyers in New Brunswick will not have as much negotiating power when it comes to getting the lowest mortgage rates in the country.
Also, because of its size, New Brunswick doesn’t have major lenders headquartered in the province. As a result, mortgage rates in New Brunswick will usually be higher than areas like Toronto and Vancouver by about 0.05 to 0.25%-pts. Being diligent and shopping around will help you get the lowest mortgage rates in New Brunswick.
When shopping for a mortgage in New Brunswick, you’re more likely to get better rates by working with a broker. Although you can do some comparison shopping on your own, a mortgage broker is well-connected with a wide variety of lenders, allowing them to leverage their relationships to find the best rates on your behalf. Instead of sharing your story with multiple lenders, you can discuss your finances and needs with a single mortgage expert who will then use that information to find the best deal based on your credit history.
Yes! A mortgage broker is your direct line to the best mortgage rates in New Brunswick. They work on your behalf to find the best deals and suitable mortgages based on your credit history, needs, and budget.
Let’s use an example. If you have a $500,000 mortgage with a 20-year amortization period and your mortgage rate is 3.50%, the amount of interest you pay is $79,028 in the first five years. However, a change of just .25% to an interest rate of 3.25% saves you $5,778 in interest in that same five-year term. Over the life of your mortgage, those savings are even more impressive.
Generally speaking, the Big Six banks tend to dominate the mortgage market in New Brunswick. However, there are also some heavy hitters when it comes to credit unions that can offer exceptional rates when you shop around. If your credit score is weak, or you haven’t established a credit history, you might do better with private lenders. A mortgage broker can compare rates based on your needs.
Mortgage brokers are less widely available in New Brunswick than they are in larger provinces. However, at Citadel, we operate nationwide and can help you find the lowest interest rates in New Brunswick. We work on your behalf to negotiate better rates than you’d see going directly to banks or credit unions.
The average mortgage for recent purchases in New Brunswick hovers around $285,000, a far cry from the national average of about $660,000.
The current prime rates in New Brunswick are about 6.95% based on Canada’s prime.
