Home prices by city around Montreal in 2026: the benchmark price of 40 cities, from Saint-Hubert to Westmount

Market · By city

The regional average does not tell you where your budget becomes a house. This ranking does, city by city.

According to the APCIQ, the median single-family home in the Montreal metropolitan area sold for $650,000 in July 2026, up about 4% year over year, and the South Shore posts the shortest selling times in Greater Montreal at 27 days in the second quarter. Behind that average, the gap between cities runs from one to five: about $520,000 in Saint-Hubert and $540,000 in Bois-des-Filion, against $800,000 and more in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Rosemère or Blainville, and up to $2.6 million on average in Westmount. Entry points under $580,000 cluster in the Lower Laurentians, in Laval (Fabreville) and in the Roussillon (Sainte-Catherine), while the high end of the suburbs plateaus around $800,000 to $856,000. Figures are medians or averages depending on the city, from the most recent Centris compilations (second quarter of 2026 or last 12 months).

How to read these numbers without getting it wrong

A municipal benchmark is a starting point, never a valuation: depending on the street, the condition and the segment, two houses in the same city can trade with a $200,000 gap. In small markets like Delson or Lorraine, two or three atypical sales are enough to move a quarter's average. Three reflexes: compare the median to the asking price of the precise sector, check selling times (a city at 27 days is not negotiated like a city at 91 days), and demand recent closed comparables rather than active listings. Our guide on municipal assessment versus market value details the most common trap.

The big takeaways of 2026

Four trends stand out: entry points under $575,000 cluster in the north (Bois-des-Filion, Saint-Jérôme, Fabreville) and in the Roussillon (Sainte-Catherine); the Roussillon has the clearest momentum on the South Shore; the suburban high end plateaus around $800,000 to $856,000; and proximity to a REM station, a metro or an exo train carries a measurable premium.
