Quebec’s real estate board says Montreal-area home sales fell seven per cent on a year-over-year basis in April as buyers continue to show “a certain degree of caution.”
The Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers says 4,744 residential properties changed hands throughout the month in the Montreal census metropolitan area, down from 5,102 in April 2025.

The board’s assistant director and senior economist Camille Laberge says demand is being held back by economic uncertainty and high price levels, “which continue to pose a significant affordability challenge, particularly for first-time buyers.”
Home prices were up across all categories for the month, led by a 3.7 per cent per cent increase in the median price of a plex to $865,000.
