On the island of Montreal, we saw a steeper decline in home and condo prices in Q1 2023 than we did in the previous quarter.

Similar to the GMA, multiplex values remained unchanged on the island, sitting steady at an average price of $795K.

In terms of days on market, it took longer to sell a property on the island of Montreal this quarter compared to the same time last year. Homes took an average of 68 days to sell, which is an increase of 29 days, while condos took 69 days on average, equal to an increase of 18 days. Multiplexes took an average of 80 days to sell, an increase of 23 days compared to Q1 2022.

 

The bottom line

What does all of this mean for the Montreal real estate market? It’s not surprising to see prices returning to pre-craze levels, with a quiet January followed by a more active February and March.

But looking ahead, we expect to see a strong Q2 in the Montreal market. Consumer confidence is up, inflation is trending downwards, and interest rates are lower than most people expect.
