How to read these figures
This page is a dashboard: it puts side by side figures we publish separately, each with ten years of history, for all of Montreal (boroughs or sectors combined where the city has them). The median of the 50 cities is the median of the cities' values, not an average weighted by size: Montreal weighs as much as Magog. The 2026 indicators cover January to September, except sales and volume, given for 2025. For a specific house, none of these figures replaces the sector's comparable sales: home valuation in Montreal.
