Montreal home sales fall 13% in August as 'rebalancing' continues: real estate board
QPAREB said 2,853 homes sold in August, while active listings rose to 20,128 and condo markets moved closer to a buyers' market.
- On Friday, September 4, 2026, the Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers reported Montreal-area home sales fell 13.1 per cent in August to 2,853 transactions, signaling continued market rebalancing.
- Total inventory rose 18 per cent to 20,128 units for sale, with listings growth pronounced on the South Shore and North Shore , reflecting expanding supply across the metropolitan area.
- Despite slowing sales, median prices continued to post moderate increases, led by condominiums rising 3.6 per cent to $437,250 and single-family homes increasing 2.8 per cent to $650,000.
- QPAREB Assistant Director and Senior Economist Camille Laberge noted that Downtown and the Sud-Ouest borough now face the highest listing levels ever recorded, as smaller units remain difficult to sell.
- Geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and high property prices are driving cautious household strategies, which, combined with less intense demographic pressure, are moderating residential activity in the metropolitan area.
