Real Estate Market Overview

This was also the trend in regards to condominiums, but these units tend to have lower prices. Despite the high inventory, there is a new tower being built with 140 condos in the Downtown area. The city has seen foreign buyers showing interest in what Montreal has to offer because of the stable Canadian Dollar. Affordability is also a key factor in their interest.
