Best month to sell · Pointe-Claire · Centris 2016-2025
The number of houses sold in Pointe-Claire in each month of the year, and the price obtained against the trend, over ten years of Centris sales: the peak, the trough, spring versus winter, the best-paying month, and when to list to sell at the right time. Centris figures, not estimates.
In Pointe-Claire, the month with the most home sales is May: 10.7% of the 3,290 sales from 2016 to 2025, or 35 sales a year on average that month, against 15 in January, the quietest month (4.7%). Between peak and trough, the market turns 2.3 times faster, a more pronounced seasonality than in most of the 50 cities tracked (median 2.1).

What ten years of seasons say in Pointe-Claire
- By season in Pointe-Claire: 32% of sales in spring (March to May), 27% in summer, 23% in fall and 18% in winter (December to February). Spring sells 1.7 times more than winter.
- The strongest quarter is the second (31% of sales); the weakest, the fourth (22%).
- Prices by season (gap to the year's trend, weighted by sales): spring +0.6%, summer +1.3%, fall +1.4%, winter -0.4%. The seasonal price gap stays small: the month matters less than the asking price and the condition of the house.
- April 2020: only 15 sales in Pointe-Claire, the lockdown month; buyers caught up the following summer. It is the only year of the ten when spring was not the peak.
- 2026 versus 2025, January to September: 237 sales against 255 (-7%). The market is a little less active than last year.
- Across the 50 cities tracked, March is the peak month (11.2% of sales) and January the trough (5.9%); the peak falls in spring in 49 cities and the trough in winter in 45. The median price premium is highest in April (+2.2%) and lowest in December (-1.8%).
What it changes when selling or buying in Pointe-Claire
To sell in Pointe-Claire, aiming for the peak means listing before it: a house put on the market at the end of March or early April gets its showings during the weeks with the most buyers, and the accepted offer lands in May. The best-paying month is not necessarily the busiest: in September, homes go 2.9% above trend, while the sales peak is in May. For a buyer, January and the winter months offer less competition and sellers who have been waiting since the fall, but also less choice: you have to be ready to decide on what is there. And in every case, the seasonal price gap remains smaller than what a good asking price and a good marketing plan bring: selling at the wrong price in May costs more than selling at the right price in November.
How to read these figures
Two measures from the same Centris query, same settings: Single-family category, whole municipality of Pointe-Claire, by month over ten years. Sales are added by calendar month over 2016-2025 (3,290 sales); 2026 is left out because the year is not over. Prices are monthly medians compared with the year's trend, then averaged giving more weight to the months with more sales. A month with 15 sales a year on average, like January, gives a fragile median: read the premiums as an order of magnitude. Time to sell, month by month, is in days on market in Pointe-Claire.
