Data from Centris, week of October 22 to 28, 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 19 sales, while Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles dominates single-family homes with 10 sales. Le Sud-Ouest stands out in duplexes with 4 sales, and Villeray in four-plexes with 2 sales. For triplexes and multi-unit buildings, no area stands out this week. Finally, for buildings of 5 or more units, the average GRM sits at 15.91 and the average price per door at $238,914.

What’s the read from the ground this week?

“A 46.3% ratio is the best of three weeks, but let’s look at both sides of the fraction. New listings go from 692 to 618, while sales gain only 10 units, from 276 to 286. So the ratio rises mostly because fewer properties are coming onto the market. On the plex side, the signal is clearer: 9 four-plex sales and no expirations. And in Villeray, a four-plex at 104.9% of asking price is a reminder that when the price is right, buyers respond.”

Does a 46.3% ratio signal a more balanced market?

The week’s ratio reaches 46.3% (286 sales for 618 new listings), up from 39.9% the previous week and 44.7% for the week of October 8 to 14. Yet sales remain 10.6% below 2025’s level (286 versus 320). It’s therefore mostly the 10.7% drop in new listings in a single week (618 versus 692) that lifts the ratio. In other words, there are 2.2 listings for every sale, and choice remains wide for a buyer.

Expirations also nuance the picture: 87 this week versus 77 a year earlier (+13.0%), even though they are down from the previous week’s 102. Single-family homes illustrate the gap well: 85 sales versus 103 last year (-17.5%), with 18 expirations versus 13.

Which segments are up and which are down?

Four-plexes are up 12.5% (9 sales versus 8) and recorded no expirations. Buildings of 5 or more units gain 25.0% (10 sales versus 8), but with 5 expirations versus none last year. By contrast, duplexes are down 20.0% (20 sales versus 25), single-family homes 17.5%, triplexes 8.7% (21 versus 23) and condos 7.8% (141 versus 153). Compared with the previous week, however, triplexes jump 50.0% (21 sales versus 14). These small segments rest on small samples and should be tracked over several weeks.

What does the Tardif Index say?

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. 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 October 22 to 28 therefore nuances the monthly picture: a weekly ratio of 46.3%, but sales down 10.6% and expirations up 13.0% year-over-year. One more favorable week is thus not enough, on its own, to reverse the trend. The October edition of the Index will incorporate this data.

Notable transactions of the week

The four-plex at 7831-7835 Casgrain Avenue in Villeray/Saint-Michel/Parc-Extension sold for $1,600,000 against an asking price of $1,525,000, or 104.9% of list, in 41 days, with an offer accepted after 24 days. By contrast, the Moffat Street duplex in Verdun/Île-des-Sœurs sold for $590,000 against $680,000 asked, or 86.8% of list after 52 days, a reminder of what happens to properties whose price hasn’t kept pace with the market. Finally, the week’s priciest triplex, in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, sold at 93.7% of list after 182 days.
