Buying · Pointe-Claire · 2027 forecast
Pointe-Claire real estate 2027: what CMHC forecasts for prices, sales and rents in its region, and what Centris sales in Pointe-Claire already show in 2026.
CMHC does not publish a forecast for Pointe-Claire, an Island of Montreal city: it counts it in the Montreal metropolitan area (Island of Montreal, Laval, North Shore, South Shore and Vaudreuil-Soulanges), for which it forecasts for 2027 an average resale price of $685,000 (+1.4%), 46,500 sales (+2.4%), a rental vacancy rate of 4.5% (2.9% in 2025) and an average rent of $1,455 for a 2-bedroom unit. In Pointe-Claire, the median single-family house sold for $759,500 in the third quarter of 2026 (Centris), with an average change of -3.1% versus 2025 over the first three quarters. If Pointe-Claire followed its region's forecast, the median house would be around $770,000 in 2027: a calculation, not a local forecast.

How to read these numbers
Forecast source: CMHC, Housing Market Outlook summer 2026 update (July 22, 2026, information available as of June 23, 2026), reference scenario. The forecasts cover the average price of all resales in the region, not the median house of one city; the 2027 scenario in Pointe-Claire simply applies the region's forecast change to the third-quarter 2026 median. CMHC also publishes an alternative scenario: average price of $669,100 in 2027 for the region (-0.8%). The Bank of Canada raised its policy rate from 2.25% to 2.5% on October 28, 2026, after these forecasts were prepared: a possible brake on prices. Local figures are Centris (Matrix) medians from January to September, compiled October 28, 2026; a quarter with few sales can swing sharply.
