Montreal Rent Is Up Again But Not Nearly As Much As For Those Suckers In Toronto

Landlords were asking for an average of $1,544 in rent for one-bedroom Montreal apartments in November, up 0.7% in the last month and 2.9% in the last 12 months, according to the latest rent report from Rentals.ca and Urbanation. Other Canadian cities have fared far worse. Montreal was only the 25th most expensive market in the country.

Cities in Ontario make up the bulk of the list's top spots. Provincewide, listed rents for one-bedroom units have increased by a whopping 17.7% year-over-year, compared to only 3.3% in Quebec, the report states.

These 9 Quebec Homes Are For Sale Under $300,000 & Available Now

Montreal's housing market may be punishingly expensive, enough that $300,000 can only buy an average of 500 square feet in the city.

Got $300K For A Home? Here's What That'll Get You In Canada

Let's face it: renting sucks and it's terrible. But where owning your home used to seem achievable, the Canadian housing market is doing everything in its power to make it nearly impossible for the average person. Just how hard is it? Real estate trend analyzer Point2 has an answer, but you're not going to like it.

The median cost for a Canadian house right now is around $630,000: more than ten times the median income in the country. If you halve that number and round down, you're working with $300,000 to buy a house — this is where Point2 started.

The Average Rent In Montreal Is Continuing To Decrease, Report Says

For only the second time this year, Montreal's average rent for a one-bedroom apartment has decreased, this time by $20, according to a report released by liv.rent. Earlier in the year, the price reached just over $1,500, but changes in August brought the average back down to just under that figure.

Canadian Home Prices Could Drop 25% By 2023, According To A New Report

Housing markets across Canada could see a substantial price drop by early 2023, according to a new TD Bank report. Home buyer behaviour during the pandemic has shifted as people move toward remote work and away from city centres, causing a shock wave of price growth in smaller markets and fast deflation in major ones.

National average home prices fell by 9% this summer and are expected to fall another 20-25% by early next year. Ontario and B.C saw the most substantial price reduction, while Quebec saw affordability decline. Home prices remained stable in the Prairies and Atlantic Region.

Montreal's Average Rent Finally Dropped After A Continuous Surge Since March, Report Says

After months and months of continued increases, totalling more than $200 in price hikes since January, the average Montreal rent for an unfurnished one-bedroom apartment fell by $22 in July. This places the new average at $1,517 per month. That average only crossed over the $1,500 threshold in June, according to recentreports from liv.rent.

The months-long price increases in Montreal were largely echoed in the Vancouver and Toronto housing markets, according to the full report. This isn’t necessarily comforting — all three cities are in active housing crises. But unlike Montreal, both cities saw average rents increase in July, liv.rent says.
