It just got harder to afford a home in Montreal — And it's not because prices went up

If you thought Montreal real estate was already out of reach, this month's numbers might make you wince.

According to new data from Wealth North, the median price of a single-family home in the Montreal CMA held steady at $625,000 in May. But due to a slight bump in mortgage rates — from 3.89% to 3.99% — the annual income required to afford that price jumped by $1,359 in one month, now sitting at $165,366.

This carriage house for sale in Montreal is straight out of a 'Bridgerton' fairytale (PHOTOS)

There are a lot of reasons to watch TV's Bridgerton from the fairytale-like romances to the dramatic plotlines to the steamy sex scenes. But ultimately, the show provides viewers with a (highly fictionalized) window into aristocratic life in Regency-era England.

Luckily, the historical inaccuracy doesn't take away from the breathtaking period costumes and sets, which of course includes the real estate. You may not have thought about it this way before, but Bridgerton could be the go-to Netflix show for sneaking a peek at extraordinary properties... sorry, Selling Sunset.

This Montreal home for sale features a sleek glass cube atop a 110-year-old duplex (PHOTOS)

Walking past this old house in the heart of Outremont, you might notice a glass cube peeking out from atop the roof. It's easy to miss, but a total showstopper for anyone who spots it — an unusual crowning detail for a residential property.

"What is that modern box doing sitting on top of that traditional, brick building?" you might wonder. Since the home is for sale, we can not only answer that question but also allow you to peek inside. And spoiler alert: the glass cube is not a swimming pool or a sunroom or a library, it's a whole damn penthouse spanning 1,600 square feet.

This $6 Million House Has A Wildly Confusing Exterior & The Most Gorgeous Interior (PHOTOS)

Sometimes, things seem chaotic on the outside, but everything falls into place once you step over the threshold. Is that a metaphor? Maybe! But it's also a literal description of the experience of looking at this $6 million Westmount house at 618 ave Murray Hill.

This home is a five-bedroom 1914 construction, which explains the aggressively plain (yet somehow overdressed) exterior. It's been very newly renovated, so much so that certain staging photos are actually virtually rendered. The house is also across from Murray Hill park, giving its owners a remarkable view.

These 3 Myths About Montreal's Housing Crisis Could Be Making It Worse — Have You Fallen For Them?

Montreal's housing situation is so bad that the city has been firmly knocked from its once-respectable spot on global real estate affordability lists. But the Institut de recherche et d’informations socioéconomiques (IRIS) asserts there are three myths — around how we compare to other cities, current housing supply, and governments' role in the situation — that overshadow the full extent of the local housing crisis.

A new IRIS study not only counters misconceptions about how Montreal sizes up against other cities, whether more houses should be built, and if the government should be considered a housing "saviour," it also underscores how those beliefs could be harming the future of the housing market.
