Data from Centris, week of October 29 to November 4, 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 leads condos with 21 sales, while Pierrefonds dominates single-family homes with 8 sales. For its part, Rosemont stands out in triplexes with 5 sales. However, for duplexes, four-plexes, and multi-unit buildings, no area stands out this week. Finally, for buildings of 5 or more units, the average GRM sits at 16.34 (15.91 the previous week) and the average price per door at $276,542 ($238,914 the previous week).

What’s the read from the ground this week?

“Behind every expired listing is an owner who hoped to sell and now has to decide what comes next. This week, 504 listings expired, versus 87 the previous week, while only 275 properties sold. If you’re selling, the message is clear: the market didn’t reject your home, it rejected the starting price. If you’re buying, these expirations are a reminder that an asking price isn’t a selling price, and that a negotiation should rest on numbers. Either way, don’t read the 45.2% ratio on its own: it doesn’t count expirations. And a duplex sold at 100.4% in 27 days is a reminder that a good starting price still makes all the difference.”

What does the jump in expirations reveal this week?

Expirations go from 87 to 504 in a single week, 5.8 times more, and exceed the same period in 2025 (380) by 32.6%. In other words, for every sale closed, 1.8 listings expired (504 versus 275). Meanwhile, sales slip 3.8% week over week (275 versus 286) and new listings 1.6% (608 versus 618). The sales-to-new-listings ratio therefore holds steady, at 45.2% versus 46.3%, because it doesn’t account for expirations. It is indeed a blind spot: the ratio can stay above 40% while unsold supply accumulates.

Condos illustrate the gap well: 325 expirations versus 49 the previous week and 257 last year (+26.5%), for 130 sales (-17.2%). Single-family homes follow with 89 expirations (64 in 2025, +39.1%), but their 85 sales are nearly at last year’s level (89). However, a jump of this size in a single week deserves to be tracked: only the coming weeks will tell whether it is a one-off or lasting.

Which segments are down and which are holding up?

First, no segment is up year-over-year this week. Single-family homes hold up best (85 sales versus 89, -4.5%), followed by condos (130 versus 157, -17.2%) and buildings of 5 or more units (10 versus 13, -23.1%). By contrast, duplexes are down 31.6% (26 versus 38), triplexes 41.4% (17 versus 29), and four-plexes 41.7% (7 versus 12). On the expiration side, buildings of 5 or more units climb 76.9% (23 versus 13), triplexes 58.8% (27 versus 17), and duplexes 52.4% (32 versus 21), while four-plexes remain stable at 8. These segments, however, rest on small samples and should be tracked over several weeks.

What does the Tardif Index say?

The reference monthly score is October 2026’s: 21.5/100, “light buyer” zone, versus 16.7 in September and 18.1 in August. 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 the following months’ scores.

The data for October 29 to November 4 therefore nuances the monthly picture: a weekly ratio of 45.2%, above the 40% threshold, but sales down 18.6% and expirations up 32.6% year-over-year (504 versus 380). One week is thus not enough, on its own, to draw a trend. Thus, the coming editions of the Index will take it into account.

Notable transactions of the week

The duplex on Boulevard Saint-Laurent in Ahuntsic-Cartierville sold for $1,205,000 against an asking price of $1,200,000, or 100.4% of list, in 27 days, with an offer accepted after 15 days. By contrast, the week’s priciest single-family home, in Mont-Royal, sold at 85.7% of asking after 168 days, a reminder of what happens to properties whose price hasn’t kept pace with the market. In addition, the triplex on Rue Louis-Hémon in Rosemont went at 96.3% of list in just 20 days.
