Real estate broker · Montréal-Nord · QPAREB Q2 2026 figures
The island's cheapest and fastest house: the 2026 market, sector by sector, and how we work there.
In Montréal-Nord the median single-family home sold for $525,000 in Q2 2026, down 6 % year over year after +35 % in five years, in 24 days, the shortest delay of any island sector, with 43 active listings. Condos are too few for a quarterly median (47 active) and gained 35 % in five years. The market belongs to the seller below $460,000 and tips clearly toward the buyer above (13 to 20 months of inventory), where the renovated plexes and large houses are. It is the market of first-time buyers and plex investors: fast, on small budgets, where the broker saves time when buying and earns price when selling.

The north of the borough, between Gouin and Henri-Bourassa, near Parc Aimé-Léonard and the river, lines up the most sought-after bungalows and duplexes, above the median. The west, toward Saint-Michel and Ahuntsic, benefits from the nearby Henri-Bourassa metro. The centre-south, around Pie-IX, Rolland and Lacordaire, concentrates the most affordable plexes and apartments, below the median, and that is where investors buy. The east, toward Langelier and Rivière-des-Prairies, is residential with 1970s houses. The good deals of 2026 are plexes and houses above $460,000: the market there belongs to the buyer, and a renovated plex listed for 45 days is negotiable.
Montréal-Nord sells in three weeks because it is the last borough on the island where a house is found under $550,000, and first-time buyers who cannot afford Rosemont or Ahuntsic converge there with a pre-approval. For a buyer, that means viewing within 24 hours, offering within 48 and knowing how high to go on the street's closed sales. For a seller below $460,000, the first weekend makes the price; above, the situation reverses and the price must be set precisely from the start, because buyers of renovated plexes compare with Saint-Léonard and Ahuntsic.

$525,000 median for a single-family home in Q2 2026 (-6 % year over year, +35 % in five years), the island's lowest. The plex is the common product; condos are too rare for a median.
24 days for a house in Q2 2026, the island's shortest delay, below $460,000. Above, the market belongs to the buyer and a property can sit for months if the price is not right.
For a family who wants a house or a plex on the island under $600,000, near a rapid bus line and the river, it is one of the last two entry points with the island's eastern tip. No metro on foot; a car remains useful.
On verifiable proof: closed sales in the sector, the team's ranking, public reviews and the OACIQ licence. Our page real estate broker in Montreal lists the seven questions to ask before signing.
