Homes in Denmark sell for 64% less than the median of New Brunswick’s towns

Asked in 2021, owners gave a median value of $110,000; averaged, their homes came to $135,000. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $43,800.

Questions about property prices in Denmark

Is Denmark expensive for New Brunswick?

No: Denmark’s census median is below the $187,000 of New Brunswick’s towns.

What is the average house price in Denmark?

An average of $126,000 in 2023, with the median sale at 1.4 times the buyer’s income.

Can I see individual sales or prices by street?

Not here: individual sales sit with provincial registries and aren’t open, so the published figures are town medians and averages.
