Selling a house in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve or Mercier in 2026: the price, the 32 days and the east's seller's market

Selling · Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and Mercier · QPAREB Q2 2026 figures

Forty-five houses for sale in the east's most populous borough: in Hochelaga and Mercier, the house is rare and goes in 32 days. Here are the 2026 figures, the method and the calendar.

Selling a house in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve or Mercier in 2026 means selling in one of the island's clearest seller's markets: a $627,750 median for the single-family home in the second quarter (-1 % year over year, +22 % in five years), 32 days on market, only 45 houses active, a seller's market in every range (3.1 months of inventory between $540,000 and $640,000, 4.8 above). The single-family home is rare in a borough of plexes and condos ($428,250, 37 days, 296 active): the cottages of Tétreaultville, the Mercier-Est homes near the river and the few houses of Vieux-Hochelaga find buyers the first weekend when the price is the street's. The method: closed sales of the street, a fair price, a full launch, multiple offers on Monday.

The Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and Mercier market in 2026, from the seller's side

Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve (QPAREB sector 15) sold its median house for $627,750 in the second quarter of 2026, -1 % year over year after +22 % in five years, in 32 days, with 45 active listings, a seller's market in every range. That is $206,000 less than the island median ($834,250) for a borough served by the green line (Pie-IX, Viau, Assomption, Cadillac, Langelier, Radisson, Honoré-Beaugrand): the affordable house closest to downtown, which explains the speed. The plex and the condo make the volume; the house is the sought-after exception. In August, the island sold for $820,000 in 57 days. For a seller, the day-one price and the full launch produce multiple offers; the risk is underselling by accepting the first.

What makes the price, sector by sector

Tétreaultville and Mercier-Est, between rue Sherbrooke, the river and the Promenade-Bellerive park, are the sector of post-war cottages and homes on small lots, the heart of the borough's house market, with the Honoré-Beaugrand metro. Mercier-Ouest and Longue-Pointe, around Cadillac and Langelier, offer 1950s and 1960s bungalows and duplexes, the entry level. Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, around promenade Ontario, the Maisonneuve market and the Olympic Park, is the territory of plexes and converted condos; the few rowhouses there sell on character and on the price of neighbouring plexes. Our pages real estate broker in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and living in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve detail the sectors.

How we set the price: the method, not the median

The sector median tells you where the market sits, not what your house is worth. Our valuation starts from the closed sales of the last 60 to 90 days on your street and the streets next to it (same type, same era, same lot), adjusts for what differs (finished basement, garage, pool, roof, windows, kitchen), then looks at what is for sale right now at the same price: that is your real competition. Pricing 3 % too high in a 30-day market costs you the first weekend, when viewings concentrate; pricing right produces multiple offers. We show you the comparables, not a promise.

The calendar that works

  1. Weeks -6 to -4: the documents. Certificate of location (order it now if it is outdated or if anything changed: 4 to 8 weeks of lead time), seller's declaration, tax bills, invoices for work done, mortgage statement with the penalty.
  2. Weeks -3 to -1: preparation. Decluttering, small repairs, neutral paint, professional cleaning; a pre-inspection if the house is over 25 years old or has a history.
  3. Launch day, a Thursday: professional photos and video, dedicated page, Centris, targeted campaigns aimed at buyers searching your sector.
  4. The first weekend: grouped viewings, offers on Monday, negotiation of conditions (inspection, financing, occupancy date).
  5. Through to the notary: follow-up on the inspection, the financing conditions and the certificate; the sale is signed 30 to 60 days after acceptance.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to sell a house in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and Mercier?

32 days in median in the second quarter of 2026, 37 days for a condo. With 45 houses active, a house priced at its street's level receives its offers the first weekend.

When is the best time to sell in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and Mercier?

Spring concentrates buyers, but with so little supply, fall and winter sell too. A Tétreaultville house launched on a Thursday in September has its viewings on Saturday.

Should you renovate before selling in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and Mercier?

Visible low-cost work pays back; in a market where the house is rare, the buyer more readily accepts original condition, but negotiates the roof and windows. A finished basement in a post-war cottage is the argument that makes the difference.

What does selling cost?

The broker's compensation, agreed in the brokerage contract and payable at the sale; the certificate of location if outdated ($1,200 to $2,500); the mortgage penalty if you break a term (three months of interest or the interest rate differential); the notary's fees for the discharge. Our free valuation puts numbers on all of it before you decide.
