What days on market by price say in Montreal
- Bottom versus top of the market: houses under $500,000 sell in 26 days on average across brackets, those at $750,000 and up in 22 days: the top does not sell more slowly than the bottom.
- Brackets that exceed 30 days: under $300,000. There, the buyer has time to visit twice and negotiate; the seller sets the price on comparable sales, not on inventory.
- Across the 50 cities tracked, the median is 16 days all sales; by bracket, under $300,000 26 days; $300,000 to $500,000 13 days; $500,000 to $750,000 14 days; $750,000 to $1M 21 days; $1M and up 24 days. The top of the market ($750,000 and up) sells more slowly than the bottom in 25 cities out of 50; the million bracket exceeds 30 days in 15 of the 40 cities where it sells enough for a median; the best-selling range goes in 15 days or less in 35 cities.
What it changes for selling or buying in Montreal
In Montreal, the time to sell follows the price in the expected order: under $300,000 in 37 days, $300,000 to $500,000 in 16 days, $500,000 to $750,000 in 20 days, $750,000 to $1M in 23 days, $1M and up in 22 days. The fastest bracket ($300,000 to $500,000) is where first-time buyers compete for houses; the slowest (under $300,000) is where buyers are fewer and more demanding. For a seller, the bracket's time says how long to plan between listing and an accepted offer, and therefore when to start looking for the next house; for a buyer, it says whether to make an offer in the first week or wait for a price cut.
