Buying a home? Here's what $500K will get you in Montreal
Earlier this month, the Bank of Canada raised its key interest rate to 5 per cent, the highest it's been since 2001.
While higher interest rates tend to drive down demand on the housing market -- and by extension, price -- analysts predict housing prices in Montreal will remain elevated over the coming months.
Royal LePage forecasts that the aggregate price of a home in the Montreal area will increase 8 per cent year over year by the fourth quarter of 2023, to $587,844.
To get a picture of where the market's at right now, here's a list of what $500,000 (ish) can get you in Montreal, borough-by-borough.
(Hint: it's a lot of condos).
