Thinking about buying a condo? Here’s what you should know.
A recent study by the Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers (QPAREB) shows that condos continue to be the most accessible entry point to homeownership across Quebec — especially for first-time buyers.
Over the past 10 years:
• Condos have grown from 20% to 25% of all sales
• Condo fees have doubled, impacting affordability
• Yet, they still remain more affordable than single-family homes
The reality today: buying a condo isn’t just about the price. You also need to understand fees, regulations (like Law 16), and financial planning.
The good news? In markets like Montreal, rising inventory is giving buyers more options and better opportunities.
This is where having the right guidance matters. Navigating documents, fees, and regulations can be complex — but with the right strategy, condos remain a smart way to enter the market.
Thinking about buying? Let’s make sure you understand the full picture before you decide.
