How many properties sold in Montreal from October 8 to 14, 2026?

In total, 268 closed sales were therefore 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 October 8 to 14, 2026, compiled by Endurance Groupe Immobilier par Tardif. Sales-to-new-listings ratio: above 60%, seller’s market; by contrast, below 40%, buyer’s market.

Which area performed best this week?

Ville-Marie leads condos with 18 sales, while Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles dominates single-family homes with 13 sales. Ahuntsic also stands out in duplexes with 5 sales, and Hochelaga in triplexes with 3 sales. By contrast, for 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 15.55 and the average price per door at $245,267.

What’s the read from the ground this week?

“A ratio that climbs because sellers are listing less isn’t the same as a market that’s improving. New listings go from 696 to 600 in a week, while sales stay about where they were. That’s why, when I read a ratio, I always look at both sides of the fraction. Next, the other signal this week is the four-plex: 9 sales and no expirations. In other words, investors buy when the price is right. Finally, in Ahuntsic, a duplex at 106.3% in 22 days is a reminder that the starting price still makes all the difference.”

Why is the ratio climbing while sales are still falling?

First, the week’s ratio reaches 44.7% (268 sales for 600 new listings), up from 39.4% the previous week. Yet sales aren’t rising: 268 versus 274, a slight 2.2% dip, and a 15.7% decline year-over-year. It’s therefore the 13.8% drop in new listings in a single week (600 versus 696) that lifts the ratio. In other words, fewer properties are coming onto the market, not more buyers closing deals.

Condos illustrate the gap well: 134 sales versus 176 last year (-23.9%), while their expirations are up 37.5% (66 versus 48). Single-family homes, by contrast, remain stable at 83 sales, with 19 expirations versus 16.

Which segments are up and which are down?

First, four-plexes are up 80.0% (9 sales versus 5) and recorded no expirations, versus 2 last year. Triplexes also gain 9.1% (12 sales versus 11), with 3 expirations versus 4. By contrast, duplexes are down 32.4% (25 sales versus 37), but their expirations also drop, from 10 to 4. Finally, buildings of 5 or more units go from 6 to 5 sales (-16.7%). These segments, however, rest on small samples and should be tracked over several weeks.

What does the Tardif Index say?

First, the reference monthly score is September 2026’s: 16.7/100, “strong buyer” zone, versus 18.1 in August and 24.5 in July. 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. As for the weekly bulletin, it has no score of its own: it documents the week and feeds into next month’s score.

The data for October 8 to 14 therefore nuances the monthly picture: a weekly ratio of 44.7%, higher than September’s monthly ratio of 34.5%, but sales down 15.7% and expirations up 14.8% year-over-year (93 versus 81). One more favorable week is thus not enough, on its own, to reverse the trend. The October edition of the Index will also incorporate this data.

Notable transactions of the week

The duplex at 10145-10147 Grande Allée in Ahuntsic-Cartierville notably sold for $1,264,000 against an asking price of $1,189,000, or 106.3% of list, in 22 days, with an offer accepted after 13 days. By contrast, the Rivière-des-Prairies four-plex, sold at 85.1% of asking after 206 days, is a reminder of what happens to properties whose price hasn’t kept pace with the market. Finally, in Verdun, the week’s priciest building of 5 or more units sold at 98.5% of list after 137 days.

Does the Montreal real estate market favor buyers in mid-October 2026?

What is the Tardif Index?

The Tardif Index is a monthly indicator of Montreal island’s residential market created by David Tardif, real estate broker (OACIQ). It thus combines the sales-to-new-listings ratio (40%), the expiration ratio (30%), and annual sales momentum (30%) into a score out of 100. Thus, in September 2026, it stood at 16.7/100, in the strong buyer zone. See also our Tardif Index page for the full methodology.
