Which area performed best this week?

Ville-Marie once again leads the condo segment with 28 sales, a sharp rise from the previous bulletin’s 18 sales. Rivière-des-Prairies/Pointe-aux-Trembles dominates single-family homes with 9 sales, despite the segment’s broad decline. Villeray retakes the lead in duplexes with 4 sales, and the triplex segment again shows no dominant area this week. Rosemont/La Petite-Patrie concentrates activity in both four-plexes and buildings of 5 or more units, with 2 sales in each category. For buildings of 5 or more units, the average GRM sits at 15.91 and the average price per door at $248,066, slightly up from the previous week.

What’s the read from the ground this week?

“This week, it’s single-family homes that are pulling back: 53 sales versus 90 last year, a 41.1% decline. That’s the segment that’s struggled the longest in our bulletins. Condos, meanwhile, are holding steady for the first time in weeks, nearly matching last year’s pace. The Notre-Dame-de-Grâce condo that sold at 100% of asking in 13 days wasn’t luck — that’s what happens when the price is right from day one. The real signal this week isn’t one number on its own. It’s that the market is still rewarding precision, not patience.”

Why are single-family home sales down so much this week?

Fifty-three single-family homes sold, versus 90 last year — a 41.1% decline that marks the week’s steepest drop across every category. With 169 new listings and only 16 expirations, supply remains available; it’s demand that’s contracted in this specific segment. Condos, by contrast, held nearly steady with last year (140 versus 139, or +0.7%), the first such stability after several weeks of continuous decline in this bulletin. Four-plexes are up too, by 12.5% (9 sales versus 8).

This week’s notable transaction captures the shift well: the condo at 5955 Wilderton Avenue, unit PHA-8 (Côte-des-Neiges/Notre-Dame-de-Grâce) sold for $1,740,000 against an asking price of $1,740,000, or 100.0% of list, in just 13 days. In a market where the overall ratio is slipping, a correctly priced property still sells fast and without a discount.

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 17 to 23 confirms the buyer-leaning direction set by July’s score: an overall sales-to-new-listings ratio of 36.7%, still below the 40% threshold. Expirations, however, are down 20.4% year-over-year — a distinct signal from the previous week, when they had jumped 25.7%. A market where sellers pull fewer listings before expiry can point to faster price adjustment, a trend worth watching in the coming weeks.

Notable transactions of the week

The Wilderton Avenue condo, sold at 100% of asking in 13 days, captures the full tension of the week: in a market where demand is falling for single-family homes, a well-positioned property still sells at full price, with no negotiation. By contrast, the Saint-Paul Street East four-plex, sold at 90.8% of list after 189 days, shows the fate of properties whose price hasn’t kept pace with the market’s adjustment.
