In total, 4,339 residential sales were concluded in June 2019, a 7 per cent increase compared to June of last year.
“The last time market conditions were this tight was back in June 2005. The number of months needed to absorb the inventory of properties for sale currently sits at only 5 months or so, and this applies to all areas of the Montreal CMA,” said Nathalie Bégin, president of the QPAREB board of directors. “These conditions can be explained by sustained sales levels coupled with the 45th consecutive monthly drop in the number of active listings. This has also led to a general acceleration in price growth, particularly in the areas on the periphery of the Island of Montreal,” she added.
