Montreal's market only makes sense borough by borough. According to second-quarter 2026 compilations (Centris), Saint-Laurent's quarterly single-family median crossed the million-dollar mark, Outremont trades around $2.2 million, while Montreal-North remains the island's accessible entry at about $525,000 with homes selling in roughly 24 days. Riviere-des-Prairies posts some of the island's lowest condo medians near $345,000, Anjou sells in about 32 days with the Blue Line extension expected in 2031, and the plex markets of Villeray, Rosemont and Hochelaga keep drawing both investors and owner-occupants. Between those poles, selling times and price trajectories diverge enough that pricing a property off the island-wide average is a costly mistake, for sellers and buyers alike. Our team maintains a data page for each of the fourteen boroughs it serves, refreshed quarterly with Centris compilations, and works with English-speaking clients across the island.
Why borough-level data matters
Between Outremont at $2.2 million and Montreal-North at $525,000, an “average Montreal price” means nothing. Selling times tell the same story: 24 days in Montreal-North against slower premium segments. Pricing a property, or an offer, off the island-wide average is how deals die.
Each of our borough pages carries the borough's own medians, its selling pace and the local realities: transit projects, plex stock, condo dynamics, schools.
The 2026 landmarks
- Saint-Laurent: quarterly single-family median past $1,000,000, four REM stations.
- Outremont: around $2.2 million, the island's classic premium market.
- Montreal-North: about $525,000, selling in roughly 24 days, the island's fastest accessible market.

- Anjou: about 32 days to sell, with the Blue Line extension expected in 2031.
The plex belt: Villeray, Rosemont, Hochelaga
Montreal's signature product remains the plex, and the central-east belt, Villeray, Rosemont, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, is its heartland. Investors read rental income and Law 31 rules; owner-occupants read repossession timelines; both need the borough's real numbers. Selling a tenanted plex has its own rulebook: our tenanted-property guide covers it in English.
