An excellent article appeared in the Gazette on February 27, 2008 - "A look at what's in store for the housing market" by Lorri Benedick. She quotes Mr. Avi Friedman, a well known Montreal architect as he discusses the main forces which will shape the construction industry in the near future - concern about the environment, scarcity of natural resources and demographics. The last one is the most significant in the Montreal real estate market, as the aging baby boomers approach retirement. Home design and renovations will have to take their special needs into consideration. Friedman predicts that the majority of boomers will sell their homes and move closer to downtown into condos. Other targets for non-suburban housing are young families. The CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) expects that more than 20,000 semi-detached and townhouse projects will be strated this year (2008)in Montreal and surrounding municipalities. 93% of the semi-detached homes and townhouses will be built in the suburbs, whereas about half (51%) of the condo units are being built on the island. News release from the Greater Montreal Real Estate board on October 16, 2007 "The residential resale market saw a 2% increase in September 2007. A total of 3,623 residential property sales were compiled in September, compared to the 3,553 transactions recorded in September 2006. The resale market for condominiums is still going strong with a 16% increase of sales in September 2007, compared to the same period last year. In total, 790 sales were recorded in the GMREB’s MLS® system, in comparison with 682 for the same month in 2006. For its part, the average price of condominiums rose by 4%, reaching $213,000. As for the resale of single-family homes, a slight 1% increase was recorded for September 2007, with 2,332 transactions compiled in the GMREB’s MLS® system, compared to 2,309 in September 2006. The average sale price reached $232,000, a 5% rise from the $221,000 that was recorded for the same month last year."

All the properties we staged sold WELL, meaning that the sale price was above or very close to the asking price!
