A real, wide price spread means real due diligence
Given New Brunswick's own disclosed cross-source housing-cost spread ($229,900-$443,713), confirm current, address-specific comparables directly rather than budgeting against a single citywide figure.

New Brunswick's own effective property tax rate ran 2.54% per Ownwell -- confirm the actual current tax bill for a target address directly before finalizing an offer.
