For single-family homes, it was Rivi\u00e8re-des-Prairies\u2013Pointe-aux-Trembles that led the way with 7 sales. As for triplexes, Hochelaga-Maisonneuve stood out with 4 transactions. Finally, in the 5+ unit multi-family segment, the average GRM for the week was 17.21 and the average price per door was $237,500, with only 3 sales compared to 5 last year (-40%).<\/p>\n  <!-- ON THE GROUND -->\n  <h2>What the market is saying this week<\/h2>\n  <blockquote>\n    <p>&#8220;This isn&#8217;t a uniform decline \u2014 it&#8217;s a market that&#8217;s restructuring itself. Single-family homes are suffering because they require more financing, and the Bank of Canada&#8217;s key rate at 2.25% directly weighs on household borrowing capacity. On the other side, triplexes and 4-plexes are advancing because the rental income equation changes the math: an owner who can offset part of their mortgage with rental income carries the cost of credit more comfortably. The 61 expired condominium listings \u2014 compared to 46 last year \u2014 show that sellers who hold firm on their price end up paying the cost in time on market. The market rewards adjustment, not passive patience.&#8221;<\/p>\n    <footer>\u2014 David Tardif, OACIQ Real Estate Broker, week of August 20\u201326, 2026<\/footer>\n  <\/blockquote>\n  <!-- KEY ANALYSIS -->\n  <h2>Why are single-family homes losing a third of their sales while triplexes advance?<\/h2>\n  <p>Single-family homes recorded 61 sales this week compared to 88 last year (-30.7%) \u2014 bringing their sales-to-new-listings ratio (SNLR) down to 34.1%, firmly in buyer&#8217;s market territory. This segment requires the highest down payments and loan amounts, making it the first to pull back when financing is costly. Conversely, triplexes (15 sales, +7.1%) and 4-plexes (7 sales, +75%) both show an SNLR of 50% \u2014 on the boundary of a balanced market. For multi-family properties, the week&#8217;s data provides two useful benchmarks: an average GRM of 17.21 and an average price per door of $237,500 for buildings with 5 or more units, with only 3 sales compared to 5 last year (-40%).<\/p>\n  <!-- TARDIF INDEX -->\n  <h2>What does the Tardif Index say?<\/h2>\n  <p>The monthly reference score remains that of July 2026: <strong>24.5\/100, in the &#8220;slight buyer&#8217;s market&#8221; zone<\/strong>.

For comparison, the same week in 2025 saw 260 sales, representing an 18.1% year-over-year decline.<\/p>\n  <h3>Why is the single-family home segment declining so sharply in Montreal in August 2026?<\/h3>\n  <p>With 61 sales compared to 88 last year, single-family homes show a 30.7% decline \u2014 the steepest of the week. This segment requires the highest financing amounts, making buyers the most exposed to the Bank of Canada&#8217;s key rate, held at 2.25%. The 179 new listings against only 61 sales yield an SNLR of 34.1% \u2014 buyers clearly have the upper hand.<\/p>\n  <h3>Why does the triplex stand out this week in Montreal?<\/h3>\n  <p>The triplex is the only residential segment showing growth on the island this week, with 15 sales compared to 14 last year (+7.1%). The logic is straightforward: rental income. An owner-occupant or investor buying a triplex can dedicate one or two rents toward mortgage repayment, significantly reducing the real cost of financing. The 4-plex follows the same trend, with sales up 75% year-over-year.<\/p>\n  <h3>What is the Tardif Index?<\/h3>\n  <p>The Tardif Index is a monthly indicator of the residential market on the Island of Montreal, created by David Tardif, OACIQ real estate broker and founder of Endurance Groupe Immobilier par Tardif. It aggregates the sales-to-new-listings ratio (40%), the expiration ratio (30%), and the annual sales momentum (30%) into a score from 0 to 100, published monthly. In July 2026, it stood at 24.5\/100, in the &#8220;slight buyer&#8217;s market&#8221; zone.
