Montreal home sales up in March as prices rise across all housing types

The Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers says Montreal-area home sales rose 14.2 per cent in March compared with the same month last year.

The association says home sales in the region totalled 4,488 for the month, up from 3,930 in March 2023.

But it says this level of transactional activity remains under the historical average recorded for this time of year.

The median price for all housing types was up year-over-year, led by a 5.6 per cent rise for the price of a single-family home at $565,000 last month.
