Moncton, New Brunswick. June snapshot + September update · 2026. Moncton is still building—but the signals are mixed. A dated look at housing delivery, new activity and building permits.
Moncton metro area · CMA. Jul 2025–Jun 2026 vs Jul 2024–Jun 2025. In the metro area, over thirty-one hundred homes were completed in the year to June, up sixteen percent. Dwelling units completed · trailing 12-month totals
Moncton metro area · CMA. Jul 2025–Jun 2026 vs Jul 2024–Jun 2025. Yet housing starts fell fifteen percent, and inflation-adjusted residential permit values fell twenty-six percent. Separate measures, not matched projects. Permit values use constant dollars.
Moncton metro area · CMA. Jan–Sep 2026 vs Jan–Sep 2025. Newer figures look firmer: metro housing starts rose six percent in January through September. Total housing starts · same nine-month period in each year
City of Moncton · city limits only. Jan–Sep 2026 against full-year 2025 benchmark. Inside city limits, housing permits approached last year’s record—with three months still to go. Housing units permitted, not homes completed. Different period lengths.
City of Moncton · city limits only. Jan–Sep 2026 vs Jan–Sep 2025. Commercial and industrial permit values also rose sharply. Commercial + industrial building permits · current dollars, not realized spending
Moncton · metro and city evidence. Different measures. Different periods. No forecast.. The takeaway: strong delivery, firmer indicators—but permits aren’t finished buildings. Next test: turning permits into buildings.
