HERE\u2019S TO A PROSPEROUS 2026, FILLED WITH HEALTH, ENTHUSIASM, &amp; OPPORTUNITY.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A little peek into the Montr\u00e9al market, as we wrap up the year: Although 2025 will close out with overall positive numbers, the trend I\u2019ve been noticing over the past few months is continuing: The November statistics are in, and for the\u00a0<em>third<\/em>\u00a0consecutive month, condo sales have declined, this time by a surprising 10%.\u00a0 Until now, the softer condo segment was being offset by strong activity in other categories, keeping total sales in the positive territory. But, for the first time this year, overall November sales also decreased, coming in at \u20133%. Adding to this: The recent interest rate announcement kept the policy rate unchanged, which means no extra boost in momentum for early next year. Why hold steady? We have to remember that interest rates are tools to manage the economy\u00a0<em>as a whole,\u00a0<\/em>not just real estate. With recent data showing GDP growth, and signs of persistent inflation, the Bank of Canada chose to remain cautious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putting it all in perspective:\u00a0Sales have remained strong throughout the year, and median prices have increased across all categories, including condos. Heading into next year, it will be interesting to see how things evolve: Will the condo market catch up, or will it fully diverge from the rest of the market? I\u2019ll be the first to keep you updated.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Happy holidays!\ud83c\udf84\u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marc-andre-martel-staging.jurassicodes.com\/en\/your-broker-for-todays-market\/\">YOUR BROKER FOR TODAY\u2019S MARKET<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we are at the end of another year, and what a year it\u2019s been.&nbsp;My team and I wish you and your family a joyful holiday season!
