What this means in Pointe-Claire
A price tells you what a property sells for; the Index tells you who holds the negotiating power. The Tardif Index™ score runs from 0 to 100 and covers the Island of Montreal: 0 to 40 is a buyer’s market, 41 to 60 a balanced market, and 61 to 100 a seller’s market. In September 2026, the island sits at 16.7 out of 100, in the strong buyer zone. The score is the island’s, not the area’s: below, the figures for Pointe-Claire describe the local market.
For sellers
Buyer’s market: your property competes with many others. Your asking price needs to be realistic and the property well presented — otherwise, the listing may expire before you find a buyer.
Balanced market: selling times stay reasonable. A price in line with comparable sales holds up well.
Seller’s market: you have the advantage. An asking price backed by recent sales in the area leaves buyers less room to negotiate — and properties sometimes sell above asking.
In September 2026, the island is in the strong buyer zone.
For buyers
Buyer’s market: you usually have more choice and room to negotiate on price and conditions.
Balanced market: you and the seller negotiate on equal footing. Take the time to compare properties before making an offer.
Seller’s market: being ready matters more than rushing. Get your mortgage pre-approved before you start viewing homes, then base your offer on recent sales in the area.
In September 2026, the island is in the strong buyer zone.

Is the Tardif Index™ calculated for Pointe-Claire?
No, the Tardif Index™ score is not calculated by area: an area often has only 10 to 40 sales a month, too few for a reliable score. It is calculated for the island of Montreal, and the cities of the South Shore and the North Shore have a separate score. In Pointe-Claire, you will find instead the median price, days on market and gap between sale price and asking price for each property type with at least 10 sales in the month.
How does the Tardif Index™ differ from months of inventory?
Months of inventory tells you how much supply there is; the Tardif Index™ tells you who leads the negotiation on the island of Montreal. Months of inventory is the number of properties for sale divided by the number of sales in a month. The Tardif Index™ combines three measures: sales relative to new listings, the share of listings that expire without a sale and year-over-year sales change.
How often are the figures on this page updated?
The figures in Pointe-Claire update every month, with the monthly edition of the Tardif Index™ by Endurance Groupe Immobilier par Tardif, published on the 4th of each month for the month just ended. You always see the latest published month, nothing else. The Index score itself is the island of Montreal’s, with no breakdown by area.
