Finally, the average number of days on the market dropped for each of the three categories: down to 50 days for single-family homes, 66 days for plexes and 67 days for condominiums.
“January’s data confirms the gradual weakening of sales observed in late 2025 in the Montreal area. This slowdown is due to a combination of factors, namely a continuing shortage of properties for sale, particularly single-family homes, and a high level of unaffordability limiting the purchasing power of some households. Despite this moderation in activity, the scarcity of properties continues to support prices, particularly for plexes, and to keep the market generally favourable to sellers. However, the condominium segment is showing clearer signs of rebalancing,” explains Charles Brant, QPAREB Market Analysis Director.
