Centris Quebec Real Estate Report- April

April Key takeaways:

1- The real estate brokers’ Centris system recorded 6,237 sales in April, a new record. This level of activity is consistent with that observed in March and should be viewed as a maintenance of activities, not as an acceleration in the number of transactions.

2- On the Island of Montreal, 2,399 sales were concluded, a record 17 per cent increase when compared to April 2019 and a level of activity consistent with that recorded last month. This robust activity can essentially be attributed to condominium sales following the same trend as that observed since the start of 2021.

3- Condominium sales reached a new record (2,466), up 13 per cent from April 2019 across the CMA, which is consistent with the trend noted since the start of the year. Without setting a record, the same goes for small income properties (650 sales, +35 per cent). It is especially outside the Island of Montreal that plex sales have continued to surge. Single-family property sales (2,490) in outlying areas continue to decline: -7 per cent compared to April 2019.

4- Compared to April 2020, active listings of condominiums have increased by 22 per cent (5,298), with plexes also showing an upward trend (1,977 listings, +27 per cent). Active listings of single-family homes remain at an all-time low (4,249 listings, -40 per cent).

5- With market conditions still heavily favoring sellers, median prices are reaching new highs. The median price of single-family properties reached the psychological threshold of $500,000 (+39 per cent compared to April 2020). The growth rate of median prices also remains very high for condominiums and, to a lesser extent, for plexes with respective increases of 23 per cent and 15 per cent.
