April 3, 2008 – The residential resale market shows positive results for the first quarter of 2008. When comparing with the same period in 2007, sales decreased slightly by 4% and the median price of single-family homes increased by 8%, according to the Greater Montréal Real Estate Board’s (GMREB) MLS® system data.
"The Montréal Metropolitan Area did pretty well, considering the performance of other large Canadian cities like Calgary and Toronto, which show higher decreases in activity since the beginning of the year,” says Michel Beauséjour, FCA, Chief Executive Officer of the GMREB. “Lower interest rates and a strong job market should both have a positive effect on results over the next few months.”
For the Montréal Metropolitan Area 12,138 transactions were recorded in the MLS® system during the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of 4% compared to 12,637 sales for the same period last year.

In the Vaudreuil-Soulanges area, sales remained stable, whereas they declined slightly on the South Shore and the Island of Montréal by 2% and 3% respectively. The northern suburbs bring up the rear with higher decreases of 6% for Laval and 8% for the North Shore.

The number of transactions went down in March 2008 with 5,019 sales recorded in the MLS® system, which represents a 7% decrease compared to March 2007.
In general, the resale market remains to the advantage of sellers in the Montréal Metropolitan Area, which means that property prices continue to climb.
