Fewer sales, more supply

In Q3 2026, 205 sales closed in Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, 34% fewer than in the same quarter of 2025. Sales volume reached $125.7 million (-32%). New listings were almost flat (499, -1%): with fewer sales, active listings rose to 545 properties (+24%).

Condos: half of all sales, and the fastest-growing supply

Condos made up half of the quarter's sales (103 of 205). Their sales fell 38%, while active listings rose 32% (297 condos). The median price, $415,000, edged down (-3%); over the last four quarters, it stands at $425,125 (+2%).

A condo sells in 43 days on average (+9 days). That is longer than a year ago, but still one of the shortest times among our areas: only Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie does better (40 days).

Plexes: a steady price, a longer time to sell

77 plexes sold in the quarter (-23%), at a median price of $800,000, unchanged year over year. Over the last four quarters, the median price reached $824,750 (+3%) and sales were flat (401). It is the lowest quarterly median plex price among our Montréal-island areas for which Centris publishes this figure.

Selling takes longer, though: 65 days on average (+9 days), compared with 49 days over the last four quarters. With 194 plexes on the market (+13%), sellers face more competition.

Single-family homes: a small market

Only 25 single-family homes sold this quarter, too few for Centris to publish a quarterly median price. Over the last four quarters, 141 homes sold (-25%), at a median price of $619,625 (steady) and in 34 days on average: the lowest median price among our Montréal-island areas. Active listings stand at 53 homes (+20%).

If you are buying in Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve

• You have more choice than a year ago, especially for condos (297 on the market, +32%): take the time to compare before making an offer.
• For a condo, read the syndicate's documents: financial statements, contingency fund and meeting minutes.
• For a plex, look beyond the price: actual income, operating expenses, the building's condition and obligations to tenants.
• Get pre-approved before you search: you will know what budget to aim for, and your offer will be more credible.

Limits: Centris statistics cover the whole borough (Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Mercier-Ouest and Mercier-Est) and do not break down by neighbourhood. The "average time to sell" is an average number of days on the market, not a median. A single quarter rests on a small number of sales, especially for single-family homes: four-quarter totals are more stable. Comparisons cover the 13 areas for which our team follows Centris statistics.
