Montreal is one of the stars of the Canadian real estate market right now but even as the market heats up, not all areas are putting sellers in control.
A new report from Shupilov Real Estate reveals that the Montreal market overall does favour sellers with a competitive buying atmosphere, rising prices, and tight inventory.
But there are also areas where buyers have more power and homes are not unaffordable for first-time buyers.
Using Centris database data and comparing the sales-to-new-listings-ratio (SNLR) with median prices, the analysis ranks Montreal neighbourhoods in the last quarter of 2018.
For single-family homes, 16 markets were shown to be seller’s markets, 2 were balanced, and 7 favoured buyers.
