Côte-Saint-Luc, Montréal-Ouest - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Cote-Saint-Luc Real Estate Check-In: Steady Prices, But the Market Is Catching Its Breath

The Vibe Right Now

If you live in Cote-Saint-Luc and you've been wondering whether to make a move this summer, here's the honest read: the market is holding, but it's not charging ahead. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $994,694, down a modest 1.75% from the previous period. That's not a crash - it's a breather. The fundamentals are still solid, but this is not a moment to sit back and assume prices will climb on their own.

Houses vs. Condos - What We're Actually Seeing

Houses

Houses in our neighbourhood are showing an average sale price of $1,200,000, essentially flat from last month. Price per square foot is running around $562. The predicted market value from HonestDoor sits at $1,175,277, which is nudging upward from the 3-month moving average of $1,173,611 - a small but positive signal.

• Average sale price: $1,200,000
• Price per square foot: $562
• HonestDoor predicted value: $1,175,277
• Estimated monthly rent: $4,550
• Rental yield: 4.62% - moderate, but real income
• Recent value change: -0.34%
• Properties sold last month: 1

One sale is a thin data set, so we read these numbers carefully. What it does tell us is that serious buyers are still transacting - they're just being selective. If your house is priced right and shows well, there is a buyer out there.

Condos

Condos are the more active side of our market right now. Two sales last month, an average sale price of $825,000, and a price per square foot of $408. The HonestDoor predicted value for condos is $550,483, up from the 3-month moving average of $547,277. That 2.34% recent growth is the brightest number in this whole report - condos are quietly picking up momentum.

• Average sale price: $825,000
• Price per square foot: $408
• HonestDoor predicted value: $550,483
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,670
• Rental yield: 3.73%
• Recent value change: +2.34%
• Properties sold last month: 2

For context, nearby Hampstead condos are predicted at $588,385 and Cote Saint Luc (the adjacent zone) at $580,694. We're running slightly below both - which actually means there's room to move up, not a reason to panic.

The Neighbourhood Leaderboard

On the growth leaderboard within Cote-Saint-Luc, houses rank 1 out of 1 and condos rank 1 out of 1. That sounds like a win until you realize it's also the bottom of the board - there's only one entry. What it really tells us is that Cote-Saint-Luc is its own category. We're not competing against a dozen sub-neighbourhoods here. We're one cohesive market, and right now that market is stable with a slight upward tick on the condo side.

The Secret Sauce - Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment Right Now

Here's something most homeowners don't think about until it's too late. Your city tax assessment was calculated months - sometimes over a year - ago. It does not reflect what a buyer would actually pay for your home today. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales data and current market signals. Right now, with prices shifting by small percentages month over month, that gap between your assessment and your real-world value can mean tens of thousands of dollars - in either direction.

If you're a homeowner in Cote-Saint-Luc sitting on a house assessed at one number but the HonestDoor Price is telling a different story, you need to know that before you list, before you refinance, and before you make any big financial decision tied to your property. The assessment is a snapshot from the past. The HonestDoor Price is what's happening right now.

The So What - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

Here's the straight talk for anyone considering listing this summer. The market is not on fire, but it's not cold either. Buyers are active, they're just not desperate - which means your pricing and presentation have to do real work.

• Houses at $1,200,000 average are moving, but volume is low. Price it sharp and it sells. Price it soft and it sits.
• Condos at $825,000 average with a 2.34% recent uptick - if you own a condo here, this is actually a decent window to list before that momentum flattens out.
• Rental demand is strong. The average rental estimate across the neighbourhood is $4,203 per month. If selling isn't the right move yet, holding and renting is a legitimate strategy.
• Airbnb potential ranks 2nd in Montreal-Ouest. Short-term rental income is a real option for the right property type.

Bottom line - Cote-Saint-Luc is not a market where you can just throw a sign on the lawn and wait. But for a well-prepared seller with realistic expectations, summer 2025 has opportunity in it. Check your HonestDoor Price first. Know your real number before you make any move.
