It will be interesting what the assessed value on homes will be in the next two years considering the prices we have seen them selling for. Though municipalities can lower their tax rate in order to balance out the assessment increases locally, I doubt we will see this anytime soon.

Thank you for the video. I would love if you could update the values to current prices (specially rent prices and utilities). We're a family of four and a medium size dog, planning to move in to Moncton in august from Colombia. Thank you very much; we love and really appreciate the help and information we get from your channel.

These days for a house,3BR would cost around 1600-1800cad ,plus utilities average of 200-250$ a month.

👍👍Thank you so much for the time you put on this amazing and detailed video. You answered many of my questions all at once. Does it help if you have an expired USA driver license to get a NB driver license quickly?thx again in advance😄( quick advice from a caring friend I would recommend using a better microphone to get a better sound quality other then that perfect A+)

If the license has expired then No, it will not help :) You still have to take the exams. And Thank you for the advise :)

There is also a human cost to living in NB also.

You forgot Power, aka Energie NB Power. I share a 2bdr and my bills if I had a car would be $1,555 but I work from home so my bills are actually $1100 approx. I walk to the store from late spring to early fall so it saves on transit(or if I drove, gas) and splitting some of the food bill helps. We have a Costco membership and we find it's just worth it. As a side note, I'm in Fredericton(Freddie) and there are 1 bedroom apartments for rent(odd layouts)/bachelors for rent that are $750/mo with Power, heat, water and WiFi included.

My wife and me went back to BC because the cost of living for us in NB was too high plus the quality of life is much better. In BC our groceries are less expensive and the variety and quality of fresh produce is overwhelming; our rent is much cheaper, which includes utilities, basic cable, but our square footage has been reduced about 30 percent, but at least it is a newly renovated unit in a great sought after location and less cleaning for us to do. We got very lucky. The only thing that costs us a little more is car insurance and gas, but isn’t an issue for us, as we don’t insure all year round and don’t drive much. We live off of our modest pensions, interest and a decent rental income. We prefer this, as what we rent is nicer than what we could ever own. Our housing expenses including our rent. strata fees, property taxes plus having no homeowners grant is overall still less than what we paid for in rent in NB monthly. It is nice to have more disposable income now so we can take off for much longer vacations abroad; not that we don’t appreciate BC’s biodiversity and Gulf Islands not to mention the mountain ranges and valleys. I somewhat used to take them for granted, but no more. So glad we chose not to stay in NB.

Cost are going to skyrocket in regards to housing if the landlords, that are now lobbying government to remove the double property taxation on rental properties, get their way.

For a single person making minimum wage, there is not much disposable income left, but there is for a couple both making minimum wage. Now the question is what type of quality apartment can a couple get at 950 a month; is it old? newer? a non smoking complex with no smoking permitted in the units? It seems you need to make at least an hourly wage of 20.00 dollars as a single to have some decent disposable income for vacationing abroad, having car, and going out for entertainment.

Yes, minimum wage is livable but very little disposable income.

Hello there.. my interest with NB lead me to your channel and since yesterday i’ve been viewing in marathon 😅. Just wanna tell you, keep uploading and you are very inspiring.. And your blogs are concise and very informative.. i love it as in i wanna meet you there someday 🥰 (who knows?) Do you still recommend NB for us CA dreamers to be our destination despite the rise in rental payment and other situation like taxation and health care situations. Coz i find NB to be relaxing place to enjoy family life. By the way, both me and hubby are OFW living with fam here in Middle east. I hope you’ll get to answer my query.. Thank you dear 😘😘😘

@Milan Thank you i appreciate your comment!☺️ With regards to living in NB ,yes id certainly recommend.I always say that no province nor country is ever perfect.There ate challenges everywhere and NB is not exempt from those challenges but neither are other provinces of Canada.NB is peaceful lovely and calm.Im sure ud enjoy it here.

I think what you are saying is wrong , near the University the cost of 950 square feet cost 1,250/- , which is costly for a town like Fredericton.

I hear that New Brunswick has some concerns. 1. New Brunswick has the highest Radon Gas levels in Canada. I hear that when you buy a home the you must sign a waiver that you understand that you may have this gas in your house. 2. Most of the province is spray several times a year with glyphosate ( round up). This is done in the forests with helicopters and or planes. 3. New Brunswick has that Neurological brain disease that has affected around 38 people 6 of which has died. These things are a big concern. I was wondering if it is safe to live there?
