Condo versus house in Westmount: which one stays on the shelf
- Four markets in ten years for condos in Westmount: 30% failure on average in 2016-2019, 36% during the 2020-2022 frenzy, 36% when high rates returned, 38% today. Average days for a sold condo: 84, 76, 75 and 70.
- Peak of expired condos: 2016 (151); trough: 2019 (54), -64% between the two. Highest failure rate: 2016 (41%); lowest: 2019 (20%).
- Condo versus house: in 2016, 41% of condo listings expired against 25% of houses (+16 points); in 2026, 39% against 32% (+7 points). The gap has narrowed. Across the 41 cities tracked, condos expire more often than houses in 38.
- On the year's new listings: 37% of condos listed in 2016 saw their listing expire the same year, 29% in 2025. One condo in four or more did not find a buyer within the year: the asking price, and often the condo fees, do the sorting.
- Average versus median: 96 days against 71 days in 2016, 71 days against 31 days in 2026. The gap (25 then 40 days) measures the weight of condos lingering for months: it has barely moved.
- 2026 (Jan. to Sep.) versus 2025: 36% then 39% failure (the rate is climbing: more overpriced condos sit without an offer); 95 condos expired in nine months, or 127 at an annual pace (+3%, a simple projection). Across the 41 cities, the rate is climbing in 2026 in 37.

What it changes when selling or buying a condo in Westmount
At 39% failure, Westmount is a city where a condo sells poorly when listed at a hopeful price: more than one listing in three ends without a sale. A condo that expires comes back on the market with a visible history, and buyers know it. For a seller, the starting price should be that of the latest comparable sales in the same building or sector, with condo fees counted the way the buyer counts them. For a buyer, condos listed for more than 71 days are the ones where negotiation has a chance, especially when the monthly fees are high. The number of condos for sale and months of inventory, year by year, are in condos for sale in Westmount; the same count for houses is in houses that do not sell in Westmount.
How to read these figures
"Expired listings" counts, for each year, the condominium listings whose brokerage contract reached its end without a sale, as recorded on Centris; cancellations and early withdrawals are not included, which makes this count a floor. The failure rate divides expired listings by the sum of expired listings and condo sales of the same year. The house rate comes from the same query in the Single-family category. Average days is the mean days on market of sold condos; median days come from days on market in Westmount; new listings from condos for sale in Westmount. 2026 (Jan. to Sep.) is a partial year.
