Tardif Index — Week 36 · 2026

How many properties sold in Montreal from September 3 to 9, 2026?

In total, 237 closed sales were concluded in seven days, across all residential categories. The table below gives the full picture, with the year-over-year comparison:

Data from Centris, week of September 3 to 9, 2026, compiled by Endurance Groupe Immobilier par Tardif. Sales-to-new-listings ratio: above 60%, seller’s market; below 40%, buyer’s market.

Which area performed best this week?

Ville-Marie clearly leads condos with 22 sales, despite the segment’s overall slowdown. Pierrefonds dominates single-family homes with 13 sales, while Hochelaga stands out in both triplexes (4 sales) and four-plexes (2 sales). For buildings of 5 or more units, the average GRM sits at 15.98 and the average price per door at $277,422.

What’s the read from the ground this week?

“A ratio of 30.5% is the clearest signal we’ve seen since we started these bulletins: buyers have the upper hand, full stop. But the Villeray duplex, sold above asking in 17 days, shows that a well-positioned property can still spark competition, no matter the overall context. That’s exactly why I keep telling my sellers the same thing: the broader market sets the tone, but every transaction is won or lost on listing price and presentation. Right now, there’s no room left for pricing mistakes — the market punishes them fast.”

Why is the ratio hitting its lowest point yet?

445 new condo listings came onto the market this week, against only 121 sales — a marked imbalance that pulls the segment’s ratio down to 27.2%. Since condos still account for roughly half of the island’s sales, it’s this segment that carries the most weight in the overall calculation. Duplexes post their worst decline of the week: 15 sales versus 25 last year, down 40.0%. Yet the segment’s priciest transaction — in Villeray/Saint-Michel/Parc-Extension — sold for $1,175,000 against an asking price of $995,000, or 118% of list, in just 17 days. As for multi-unit buildings, only 5 properties of 5 or more units sold, versus 9 last year (-44.4%), with an average GRM of 15.98 and an average price per door of $277,422.

What does the Tardif Index say?

The reference monthly score remains July 2026’s: 24.5/100, “light buyer” zone. The Tardif Index indeed combines three components — the sales-to-new-listings ratio (40%), the expiration ratio (30%), and annual sales momentum (30%) — into a score out of 100, published monthly. The weekly bulletin, for its part, has no score of its own: it documents the week and feeds into next month’s score.

The data for September 3 to 9 clearly exceeds July’s score direction: an overall sales-to-new-listings ratio of 30.5%, well past the buyer threshold, driven by expirations up 11.9% year-over-year.

Notable transactions of the week

The Villeray duplex, sold 18% above asking in 17 days, stands in sharp contrast with the rest of the week — proof that a well-positioned asset can still trigger a bidding war, even in a firmly buyer’s market. By contrast, the Côte-Saint-Luc condo sold for $214,000 after 281 days is a reminder of what happens to properties that don’t adjust their price in time.
