montreal homes for sale

If you're looking for a home in Montreal that's a little less city and a whole lot more jungle, look no further! Tucked away in the heart of the Cité du Havre peninsula, this Montreal condo for sale is a lush oasis rising out of the city's grey urban landscape.

This unique condo building, Tropiques Nord, is home to a jaw-dropping 32,000-square-foot tropical atrium that's green and blooming all year long. Think palm trees, lush gardens, a lagoon-like pool and waterfalls – a tropical paradise right in the city!

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.

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.

Sometimes there's a house so fancy, even the mild-mannered realtor in charge of it describes it as a "veritable manor." Such is the case for this wildly pricey Westmount property, whose insides are as cream-coloured as they are expensive.

For $25 million, this 28-room, 7,000-square-foot home could become yours, complete with an inground pool, seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Nestled on a street between the Montreal International School and St. George's School, the home is near the beautiful Summit Woods and its panoramic view of Montreal.

Montreal's housing market is not what one might call "healthy" or "affordable," with home sales at their lowest level in the last 10 years, according to a report from the Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers (QPAREB) using Centris data. This is partially explained by the fact that many first-time homebuyers struggle to qualify for loans, especially in the current economic climate.

The QPAREB also credits "the wait-and-see attitude of experienced buyers and sellers" for the low number of recorded sales, as those market players who are used to ebbs and flows hold out for better prices.

For a 6,400-square-foot house with six separate bathrooms, a gym and a games room, you'd think "mansion" or "palace" might be more appropriate. But this Westmount manor is labelled a "cottage," which can only be interpreted as a winking nod to the home's exterior stylings, which are admittedly very English.

Inside, it's anything but cozy — this is a cool, modernist and wealthy entertainers' home through and through, with a sprawling backyard and an elegant heated pool to match. The 12,000-square-foot lot is fully landscaped and perfect for hosting plenty of guests. It's very much giving business in the front, (pool) party in the back.

What Canada's second-tier cities lack in glamour they make for in affordability. Of Canada's three largest cities, only Montreal makes it onto a new ranking of the top 10 most affordable cities in Canada for first-time homebuyers.

The ranking, by Alberta-based real estate platform Edmonton Homes, is based on an evaluation of average home prices, property taxes and energy costs compared to median incomes. The platform quantified these metrics and gave each city a score out of 60.

Now, they're unmissable. Two monolithic black towers joined by a spindly metal lattice now occupy what used to be empty sky in the Montreal cityscape. This is Maestria, a new condo development rising out of the Quartier des Spectacles like conjoined grim reapers.

Their design is certainly bold. Developers say that metal structure between them will be the highest sky bridge in Quebec, but access will mostly be limited to an elite few.

If you've been looking for an elegant and expansive home right near the new T&T grocery store, this $7.5 million mansion could be your next home, sweet home. With six bedrooms and 7,500 square feet of living space, this opulent home is decorated to the tastes of a generation before minimalism claimed the aesthetics of the upper class.

It's a soup of brasses, creams and dark woods dripping in frills and flamboyant carpentry — a home fit for the anti-heroic machinations of Emily Gilmore, herself.

Home prices slipped and sales plummeted across the Montreal area in December. That's according to the Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers (QPAREB), which released its first report of 2023 on January 5. The association gave a snapshot of home price trends in the five zones that comprise the metro area: Montreal Island, the North and South Shore, Vaudreuil-Soulanges and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

Overall, median prices were down 3% for single-family homes (to $510,000), 1% for condos (to $375,000) and 6% for multi-family homes, plexes, (to $690,000) in December 2022 compared to December 2021.

Tucked between the electric rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest and congested boulevard René-Lévesque, rue Tupper is a street that time forgot. Largely untouched by modern developers, it sits hidden among the unfriendly concrete towers of Montreal's Shaughnessy Village. Passersby on the narrow residential street will instead find colourful two-storey townhomes, stained glass windows and flamboyant masonry. And one of its classic Montreal homes is now for sale.
