Homes for sale · Pointe-Claire · Centris 2016-2026
The number of houses for sale in Pointe-Claire at each month-end, and the number of new listings, year by year since 2016: the peak, the frenzy trough, the absorption rate, months of inventory, and why prices doubled without sales growing. Centris figures, not estimates.
In Pointe-Claire, an average of 95 houses were for sale on Centris at each month-end in 2026 (January to August), against 128 in 2016: inventory is 74% of what it was ten years ago, a milder decline than in most of the 50 cities tracked (median 46%). The trough was 2021 (50 houses, -61% from the 2016 peak); since then, inventory has climbed back 90%. New listings went from 505 in 2016 to 485 in 2025 (-4%): fewer homes are being listed than before, and they sell faster. The result: 3.7 months of inventory in 2026 against 4.2 in 2016.

What ten years of inventory say in Pointe-Claire
- Four markets in ten years in Pointe-Claire: 74 homes for sale on average in 2016-2019, 70 during the 2020-2022 frenzy, 87 when high rates returned, 92 in 2025 and 95 in 2026.
- Inventory peak: 2016 (128); trough: 2021 (50). Between the two, the choice offered to a buyer was divided by 2.6.
- New listings: 505 in 2016 at the high, 386 in 2021 at the low, 485 in 2025. New listings held up (-4% since 2016): the inventory decline comes from the speed of sales, not a lack of sellers.
- Absorption rate (year's sales ÷ new listings): 73% in 2016, 87% in 2021, 65% in 2025. About two homes out of three listed sell within the year.
- Months of inventory (homes for sale ÷ monthly sales): 4.2 in 2016, 1.8 at the 2021 trough, 3.5 in 2025, 3.7 in 2026. Under 4 months, the seller leads; above 6, the buyer.
- 2026 (Jan. to Aug.) versus 2025: average inventory is up 3% (92 to 95), and new listings are running at 543 at an annual pace (+12%, a simple twelve-month projection). Choice is coming back a little, without returning to 2016. End of August 2026: 97 active houses.
- Across the 50 cities tracked, 2026 inventory is a median 46% of 2016, it is at half or less in 32 cities, and it is climbing versus 2025 in 43 cities.
What it changes when selling or buying in Pointe-Claire
At 3.7 months of inventory, Pointe-Claire is in line with the cities tracked: few enough houses for the seller to keep the upper hand, enough for a buyer to have a few options to compare each month. The seller who lists at the price of the latest sales finds a buyer; the buyer with a pre-approval who visits in the first week has a chance without a systematic bidding war. The rest of the table explains prices: with 26% fewer homes for sale than in 2016, the median price doubled without the number of sales growing, and it will not come down until inventory does come back.
How to read these figures
Two measures from the same Centris query, same settings: Single-family category, whole municipality, by month over ten years, then aggregated by year. Inventory is a month-end snapshot averaged over the year; new listings are a flow added over the year. A house withdrawn and relisted counts twice in the flow and once in the snapshot. 2026 stops in August: the annual pace of new listings is a rule of three, not a forecast. The sales in the middle column are those of number of sales in Pointe-Claire.
