Last month\u2019s MLS\u00ae residential sales in the Montr\u00e9al Metropolitan Area decreased by 31 per cent compared to November 2007, a 6 per cent decrease in year-to-date sales compared to the same period last year, according to the Greater Montr\u00e9al Real Estate Board (GMREB). While sales have decreased, single-family home median prices are up by 6 per cent year-to-date.<\/p>\n

\u201cMontr\u00e9al\u2019s real estate market has done quite well this year especially when you consider that prices are up and we\u2019re comparing today\u2019s sales with 2007, the year that broke all sales records,” said Michel Beaus\u00e9jour,<\/p>\n

FCA, GMREB’s Chief Executive Officer. “All being said and done, Montreal\u2019s market continues to be a good investment, particularly when comparisons are made with other major Canadian cities such as Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver where sales of single-family homes have dropped by as much as 37 per cent year-to-date, whereas we\u2019re only at a decrease of9 per cent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously Montreal is not immune from the economic uncertainties facing consumers today. There are three variables that affect the real estate market \u2013 interest rates, job creation and consumer confidence. Consumer confidence has dropped for the last two months and employment in Montr\u00e9al is on the decline as well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In terms of prices, the median price of single-family homes grew by 6 per cent duri<\/p>\n

ng the first 11 months of the year compared to the same period last year, increasing from $215,000 to $227,000. The median price of plexes also grew by 6 per cent, while that of condominiums grew by 3 per cent.<\/p>\n
