A Moncton residential appraisal follows the same core sequence as elsewhere in Canada — order and scope, site inspection, comparable research, reconciliation, and report delivery — but the local comparable pool and municipal data shape each step.
Ordering
Ordering: the appraiser confirms intended use (mortgage, refinance, divorce, estate, capital gains, private sale, insurance), effective date, and report format. Retrospective effective dates are common in estate and CRA work.
Site inspection in Moncton
Site inspection in Moncton: measurement of gross living area, photographs, review of finishes, mechanical vintage, condition, and any features that affect market appeal. The appraiser is not a home inspector — systems are noted at a high level only.
Comparable research
Comparable research: the appraiser draws from local MLS sales, land title records, and Service New Brunswick assessment data. Post-2021 in-migration compressed inventory — comparable pools rebuild in spring and fall; winter reports lean on time-adjustment evidence.
Reconciliation and delivery
Reconciliation and delivery: the appraiser reconciles a supported value conclusion and delivers a report in the agreed format. Standard turnaround in Moncton is 5–10 business days; Rush typically available for mortgage work; narrative reports 7–14 days.
