How Long Does It Really Take to Build a Home?

Building a home from the ground up is a process that involves many steps, inspections, and moving parts. While timelines vary depending on the builder, lot, weather, and customization choices, here’s a general breakdown of what to expect:

1. Planning & Permits (1–2 months)

  • Finalizing floor plans, selections, and builder contracts.

  • Obtaining municipal permits and lot surveys.

2. Foundation (2–4 weeks)

  • Excavation, footings, and pouring the foundation.

  • Curing time for concrete is crucial before building upwards.

3. Framing (1–2 months)

  • Structural skeleton goes up, followed by roof trusses, sheathing, and windows/doors.

  • Weather can speed up or slow down this phase significantly.

4. Mechanical & Rough-Ins (1–2 months)

  • Plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems installed.

  • Inspections are required before moving forward.

5. Interior & Exterior Finishes (2–3 months)

  • Drywall, flooring, cabinetry, paint, siding, roofing, and fixtures.

  • Choices here can add time if materials are backordered or custom.

6. Final Touches (2–4 weeks)

  • Landscaping, driveways, and final inspections.

Average Timeline: 8–12 months from permit approval to completion.

Allowances for Delays:

  • Weather: Heavy rain, snow, or freezing conditions can stall progress.

  • Supply Chains: Backordered materials or fixtures may extend timelines.

  • Customization: Unique requests or last-minute changes require extra time.

The best advice? Build in flexibility. Expect that your home may take a few weeks longer than the “ideal” schedule and keep close communication with your builder and REALTOR® throughout the process.

Market Insights

Moncton Market Update – July 2025

In July 2025, Moncton’s real estate market showed stability with a touch of opportunity.

333 homes sold (down 3.5% year-over-year), while the average price rose 4.8% to $379,603. Homes are taking a bit longer to sell (median 33 days), but sellers are still getting 97.9% of their asking price. Inventory is growing, with new listings up 9.3% and active listings up 21.2%, giving buyers more choice.

Overall, steady price growth shows demand remains strong, but buyers now face less pressure thanks to increased supply. Sellers, meanwhile, need to stay competitive with solid pricing and presentation. Province-wide, New Brunswick is trending toward a more balanced market with more inventory and steady prices—making strategy and negotiation essential for both buyers and sellers moving forward.
