A weaker quarter, calmer over the year

In Q3 2026, 126 sales were completed in Villeray, -26% compared with the same quarter of 2025. Over the last four quarters, the total is 665 sales. Active listings, meanwhile, rise +10% (313 properties).

Plexes: the segment that holds up

The plex is the most-sold property type in Villeray this quarter (59 sales, versus 47 for condos and 20 for single-family homes). Its median price reaches $880,000, up 7% year over year; over the last four quarters it is $856,250. The average time to sell is 43 days (-2 days year over year), versus 49 days over twelve months.

Supply is growing, though: 160 plexes are active (+19%). A buyer therefore has more choice, and a seller more competition.

Condos: fewer sales, a bit more time

Condo sales fall 33% (47 sales) and the average time to sell is 51 days (+5 days). The quarter's median price, $586,500 (+33%), rests on only 47 sales: it is better to read the four-quarter total, $497,562 on 291 sales, with an average time to sell of 39 days.

Single-family homes: a small market

Only 20 single-family homes sold this quarter, too few to publish a quarterly median price. Over the last four quarters, the median price is $738,500 and the average time to sell 37 days. Active supply is down 16% (30 homes).

If you are selling in Villeray

  • For a plex, factor in supply (+19%): you will be competing with more similar listings.
  • For a plex, prepare the documents a buyer will want: leases, income, expenses and the condition of building components.
  • For a condo, plan for a longer timeline and prepare the condo documents before going to market.

If you are buying in Villeray

  • Compare several similar plexes before making an offer: active supply is rising.
  • For a plex, look beyond the price: actual income, operating expenses, the condition of the building and obligations toward tenants.
  • For a condo, compare condo fees, the contingency fund, meeting minutes and financial statements before comparing prices.
  • Get a mortgage pre-approval to know your real budget.

Frequently asked questions

What is the median price of a plex in Villeray?

In Q3 2026, the median price of a plex sold in Villeray is $880,000 (+7% year over year), according to Centris. Over the last four quarters it is $856,250. This is a market benchmark, not the value of a specific property.

How long does it take to sell a plex in Villeray?

The average time to sell a plex is 43 days in Q3 2026 (-2 days year over year) and 49 days over the last four quarters (Centris). That is an average, not a promise for your property.

Are Villeray condos losing value?

The data do not show that: the quarter's median price is $586,500 (+33%) and the four-quarter figure is $497,562. It is mostly sales (-33%) and time to sell (+5 days) that reflect the slowdown. The number of sales is limited, however.

Sources, method and limits

Sources: Centris public statistics for the Villeray geographic division, extracted on October 2, 2026; public landmarks: Wikipedia (Villeray neighbourhood and Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough, consulted on October 22, 2026), Statistics Canada 2021 census for population. Compilation and interpretation: Équipe Lefrançois.

Limits: Centris statistics follow Centris's full geographic division, which can extend beyond the neighbourhood's boundaries. "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, hence the value of the four-quarter total. These figures are neither a forecast nor financial advice.
