What ten years of sales say in Montreal
- Four markets in ten years in Montreal: 3,860 house sales per year in 2016-2019 (median), 3,800 during the 2020-2022 frenzy, 3,040 when high rates returned, 3,375 in 2025.
- The 2020 record (3,974 sales) has not been seen again: 2025 is 15% below that peak. Across the 50 cities, the median decline from the peak is 16%.
- The trough is 2023 (2,825 sales): 5% rates removed buyers, but also sellers holding a 2% mortgage. Volume started climbing again in 2024.
- Price versus volume: the median house gained +90% between 2016 and 2025 ($380,000 to $721,750); the number of sales, -6%. The market doubled in dollars, not in transactions.
- Condos make up 73% of sales in Montreal in 2025, against 62% in 2016 (11,104 to 17,951 sales, +62%). They carried the growth in volume.
- Plexes: 3,266 sales in 2016, 3,251 in 2025 (+0%), 13% of the market.
- 2026 (Jan. to mid-Sep.): 2,240 house sales, or 3,162 at an annual pace, -6% compared with 2025 (a simple projection, same pace over twelve months).
- 4 years of falling volume out of nine: 2018, 2021, 2022, 2023. Ten-year volume: 37,703 houses, 166,847 condos and 34,561 plexes sold on Centris in Montreal.
What it changes when selling or buying in Montreal
3,375 house sales a year is about 64.9 a week: Montreal is a deep market, where a seller always finds recent comparables and a buyer sees new houses every week. Prices settle quickly because everyone works from the same references. The real question is not whether there are buyers, but how your house compares with the 281 that sell every month. Since 2016, the number of sales has fallen 6% while prices rose: fewer houses change hands, because owners with a low rate stay put.
How to read these figures
One count per year and per category, for all of Montreal: houses on one side, condos and plexes on the other. The counter is the number of accepted offers that led to a sale, as entered on Centris by brokers. It says nothing about sales without a broker, nor about homes withdrawn from the market unsold, which we track in houses that do not sell in Montreal. Small cities move by a few dozen sales from one year to the next: read the plateaus, not a single year.
