What is the average home price in Montreal right now in September 2026 and how has it changed compared to a year ago

Quick answer. The average home price in Montreal right now in September 2026 is the figure reported in the Montreal Housing Market Report for September 2026. To compare it to a year ago, use the same report from September 2025 or the year over year line in the September 2026 report.

Source to check. You can review the official September 2026 numbers in the Montreal Housing Market Report: September 2026.

2. How to check and verify these numbers yourself

Which reports to open

Start with the market report. Open the Montreal Housing Market Report for September 2026 for headline averages and medians; cross-check with a second source such as the Nesto market overview for Montreal to see tables split by property type and borough.

Which figures to compare

Median versus average. Look for both median sale price and average sale price; median reduces the effect of a few very expensive sales and is more useful for most home buyers and sellers. Also note the report's sample size and whether it includes the island only or the wider CMA.

3. What the average price means for different property types in Montreal

Condo market

Condo averages: check borough splits. The island of Montreal has many condo towers in Griffintown, Ville-Marie, the Plateau, and Rosemont; reports often show a separate median for condos which can differ substantially from the citywide average. For buyers, compare condo medians in the specific borough you are targeting rather than the citywide number.

Single-family homes and duplexes

Different housing stock changes the math. Neighbourhoods with mostly single-family homes such as NDG, Outremont, and parts of Rosemont generate a different median than areas dominated by condos. If you are selling a house on a 30 to 50 foot lot in Rosemont or NDG, pull single-family comps, not citywide averages.

• Median price: Check the report for the exact median sale price in September 2026, and note whether it covers the island of Montreal or the full CMA.
• Average price: Note the average sale price reported for September 2026 to see the influence of high-end sales.
• Year over year comparison: Use the same source's September 2025 numbers, or the year over year column in the September 2026 report, to calculate change.

4. Local factors that influence the average price in Montreal

Housing stock and new projects

New supply matters. Large condo projects in Griffintown, the continued midrise development along the Wellington corridor in Verdun, and infill renovations in Plateau blocks affect the citywide average. The city reports on construction pipelines and recent completions in the New Residential Construction Projects article linked on this site.

Commute distances, amenities, and landmarks

Location specifics shift values locally. Proximity to the Metro, access to Mount Royal park, bike paths along the Lachine Canal, and quick routes to downtown via Autoroute 720 or bridges all affect what similar properties sell for in a neighbourhood. When you look at the citywide average, remember these local gradients.

5. Practical next steps for buyers and sellers in Montreal

Questions to ask an agent

Ask for local comps. Request a list of closed sales within 3 months, within 1 kilometre, and with similar lot size and bedrooms. Also ask whether the agent's data uses island-only sales or the full CMA, and confirm if condo fees or renovations were factored into the sale notes.

Documents and comparables to collect

• Listing sheets: recent MLS listings within your target area and price range.
• Closed sales: at least five sold properties similar in style and size, with sale dates and final sale prices.
• Condo documents: for condos, obtain the most recent financial statements and condo fee schedule.
• Renovation records: invoices for major upgrades, permits, and energy efficiency improvements where relevant.

Local expert help. If you want the exact average price number for September 2026 and the precise year over year percentage change for your property type and borough, I can pull those figures and the supporting comparables right away.

Different sources, different breakdowns. Reports from Wowa, Nesto, and Housing Portal each present slightly different slices: some show island-only numbers, others show the entire CMA, and some separate condos from single-family homes. For transparency, check at least two of these sources when you compare the September 2026 figure to September 2025.

Actionable checklist. Collect the September 2026 median and average for Montreal from the market report; pull the comparable September 2025 numbers from the same source; assemble five local comps for your property type; and confirm the geographic area used in each statistic before drawing conclusions.

Extra resource. Housing Portal also publishes a September 2026 snapshot with tables you can export to check specific neighbourhood numbers.
