Is Montréal right for you?

Choosing the neighbourhood matters as much as the property: commute, metro, schools, shops and atmosphere change from one street to the next. For a condo, read the declaration of co-ownership, the contingency fund study and the minutes. For a plex, check the leases and the condition of the building. And budget for Montreal's welcome tax, which is higher above $552,300.

Our favourite spot in Montréal

Parc du Mont-Royal

Nature

Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and opened in 1876, Parc du Mont-Royal overlooks downtown. From the Kondiaronk lookout, the view of the city and the river explains on its own why Montrealers are so attached to their mountain.

“I lived in the Plateau, Hochelaga and the Village, and Mount Royal has always been my reference point: from the Kondiaronk Belvedere, I show my clients the whole city at a glance, and each of them quickly spots the neighbourhood that suits them.”

Frequently asked questions

Real estate in Montréal

How do you choose a neighbourhood in Montreal?

Start from your daily routine: commute to work, metro or REM station, schools and shops. Visit the neighbourhood at different times of day, then compare recent sales: with the same budget, you can often get a condo in a central neighbourhood or a house farther from downtown.

What budget should you plan for to buy a house in Montréal?

For January to September 2026, the median price of a single-family home across the entire Montréal area was $750,000, and the median price of a condo was $475,000. Add the welcome tax, notary fees, inspection and moving costs, and get a pre-approval before you start searching.

How can you reduce the welcome tax when buying in Montréal?

For a $500,000 home, the welcome tax is approximately $5,611 according to the City of Montréal’s 2026 scale. If you are buying your first home, the Quebec tax credit refunds part of the duties paid, up to $5,875.

Why have a home inspected before buying?

The pre-purchase inspection reveals the condition of the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical system and any signs of moisture. It lets you negotiate or walk away depending on the conditions of your offer to purchase. Be present at the inspection: it is the best way to understand the home you are buying.

How do you make a winning offer to purchase in Montréal?

Come pre-approved, visit new listings quickly and back up your price with comparable sales in the area. January to September 2026, homes across the Greater Montréal area sold in an average of 44 days: when you love a property, be ready to make an offer to purchase.
