While the Westmount market remains steady, a recent article in The Montreal Gazette says that “Montreal’s hot real estate market appears to have cooled, according to the latest assessment roll released by the city. The average home on the island saw its value increase by just 5.9 per cent in the last three years. In the city of Montreal, excluding the suburbs, the average increase was 6.2 per cent.” Which is the exact increase of single-family homes in Westmount. The article continues to explain that “the suburbs on the island with the highest increases were Westmount, Town of Mount Royal and Pointe-Claire, while the suburbs with the lowest increases were Senneville, Baie-d’Urfé and Hampstead.” Read more here.
