L’ÎLE-DES-SŒURS, Quebec, Oct. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers (QPAREB) has released its most recent residential real estate market statistics for the province of Quebec, based on the real estate brokers’ Centris provincial database.
In total, 32,200 residential transactions were concluded in the province of Quebec in the third quarter of the year, an exceptional 49 per cent increase compared to the third quarter of last year. This also represents a new sales record, all quarters combined, since the real estate brokers’ Centris system began compiling market data (2000).

“With an historic rebound – and an exceptional one given the spring confinement period – the province’s resale market experienced tremendous growth in the third quarter. Since the start of the year, there has been a 10 per cent increase in sales compared to the first nine months of last year, which was already an excellent year,” said Charles Brant, director of market analysis at the QPAREB. “In a context of renewed interest for residential properties as a safe haven and essential asset, stimulated by record low interest rates and the accelerated rise in household savings, most markets are exceptionally active, particularly in the periphery regions of the CMAs. This situation is causing a drop in listings and a tightening of many markets in favour of accelerated price growth,” he added.
