Condos · Old Montreal · September 14, 2026
The published price for Ville-Marie, why buyers hold the cards in 2026, our condos on the island and the checks specific to heritage buildings.
As of September 14, 2026, a condo for sale in Old Montreal is read with the Ville-Marie borough median, $465,000 in the second quarter of 2026 according to the APCIQ, sold in 89 days, the longest selling time on the island, with record listings and flat prices in the August report: it is the only sector on the island where the buyer leads and negotiates. Heritage lofts and riverfront towers sell above that median, with high condo fees; each listing's history and the building's closed sales, which the buyer's broker pulls from the system, make the difference. Contingency fund, short-term rental rules and parking are the checks specific to the neighbourhood. Our buyer services are paid by the seller's commission.
Old Montreal is part of the Ville-Marie borough, whose median condo sold for $465,000 in the second quarter of 2026, in 89 days, the longest selling time on the island, with a record number of active listings: in the August 2026 report, the APCIQ notes record listing levels downtown and flat prices, while the island as a whole stood at $475,000. The APCIQ does not publish Old Montreal alone; in the neighbourhood, lofts in converted heritage buildings and the recent riverfront towers sell well above the borough median, with some of the highest condo fees in Montreal.
With 89 days on market and record listings, Ville-Marie is the only sector on the island where the buyer leads: time to compare, a conditional offer without competition, a price under asking when the history shows drops. A buyer's broker pulls each listing's history (withdrawals, drops, relistings) and the closed sales in the building: that is where the difference is made. Our page Centris Ville-Marie explains the alert and how to read a listing.
As of September 14, 2026:
Saint-Paul, de la Commune and Saint-Jacques streets for converted heritage buildings (high ceilings, high fees, scarce parking); the riverfront and the Old Port for recent towers; Griffintown and the Lachine Canal, ten minutes on foot, for new towers with the island's widest choice in August 2026 (Centris Sud-Ouest); the Quartier international and downtown for condos near the metro. Our condo buyer guide gives the view by borough.
The APCIQ publishes the Ville-Marie borough: median condo $465,000 in the second quarter of 2026, in 89 days, with record listings. Heritage lofts and riverfront towers sell above that median; the price of a specific condo is set on the building's closed sales.
It is the sector of the island where buyers have the most choice and time in 2026: 89 days on market, record listings, flat prices. A good time to negotiate; a bad time to buy hoping to resell fast. The listing's history and the building's closed sales decide the price.
Only if the declaration of co-ownership allows it, if the borough's bylaw authorizes it at that address and with a CITQ registration. Many syndicates prohibit it; check before the offer, not after.
What a condo in Montreal is really worth, Centris figures:
The median condo price in Montreal is $476,100 in 2026, 63% of a house; our city page gives ten years of history, days to sell and fees.
