Montreal property sales prices – January 2024
While sales rose in the first month of the year, median prices for all property types also increased (except for plexes).
The market’s recovery was therefore not long in coming, as we are already seeing the first signs of growth that will delight buyers and sellers alike, thanks to a win-win situation.
For each market profile, the situation is positive:
- Sellers, thanks to the rise in median prices, will be able to realize a greater capital gain on the resale of their property.
- Thanks to a well-stocked inventory and still-low prices, buyers can acquire dream properties at a good price and take advantage of future interest rate cuts.
You can save thousands of dollars by positioning yourself on a property now, and taking advantage of future lower interest rates when you finance.

Property sales lead times Montreal -January 2024
Sales lead times remain stable, despite a slight increase in January. This stabilization is mainly due to the growth of inventory on the market, which offers buyers a wide range of properties and therefore a more accurate comparison between each one.
Where a few months ago a buyer might have selected one or two properties for his investment, today he can study many more and compare the different options and advantages of each. This inevitably adds time between selection and decision-making.
To find the best opportunities, follow Valérie’s advice:
Urgent sales and properties that have been on the market for a long time offer attractive negotiation opportunities.
