Hampstead, Hampstead - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Hampstead Real Estate Right Now: What Your Neighbours Aren't Telling You

The Vibe on the Ground

If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Hampstead, here's what's actually happening. This is one of Montreal's priciest pockets, and the numbers back that up. Houses are averaging a HonestDoor Price of $2,369,004 - up 0.68% from last period. Condos are sitting at $581,239, up a quieter 0.20%. Neither is screaming hot, but neither is falling apart either. The market is taking a breather, not a nosedive.

Houses: The Real Numbers

We saw one house sell at an average of $1,750,000, coming in at roughly $464 per square foot. The predicted market value is actually higher - $2,403,218 - and that number is creeping up against the 3-month moving average of $2,389,111. That gap between the sale price and the predicted value is worth paying attention to. It suggests some buyers are still getting a deal relative to where the market is actually headed.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $2,369,004 (up 0.68%)
• Average sale price: $1,750,000
• Price per square foot: $464
• Predicted market value: $2,403,218
• Estimated monthly rent: $7,681
• Rental yield: 3.64%
• Airbnb rank in Hampstead: 2nd

On the rental side, estimated income is $7,681 per month with a 3.64% yield. That's a moderate return for a neighbourhood at this price point. Airbnb potential clocks in at $381 per night - not a goldmine, but not nothing either.

Condos: Steady, Not Spectacular

Our condo market is holding its own. The predicted value of $588,385 is sitting just above nearby Cote Saint Luc at $580,694, which tells us Hampstead condos carry a small but real premium over the competition. The 3-month moving average of $588,862 is just slightly ahead of where we are now, so values are essentially flat - but flat at a high level.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $581,239 (up 0.20%)
• Predicted market value: $588,385
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,767
• Rental yield: 3.70%
• Airbnb rank in Hampstead: 1st
• Airbnb estimate: $134 per night

Condos here rank 1st for Airbnb potential in Hampstead. If you own a condo and haven't thought about short-term rental income, that stat is worth a second look.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment

Here's the thing about government assessments - they're snapshots from the past. By the time the city mails you that paper, the market has already moved. The HonestDoor Price is a real-time read on what your property is actually worth today, not what a bureaucrat decided it was worth 18 months ago.

In Hampstead, where house values are sitting above $2.3 million, even a small percentage difference between your assessment and your real market value can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars left on the table - or overpaid in taxes. The HonestDoor Price for houses here is tracking at $2,369,004 right now, with a predicted value of $2,403,218. That's the number a serious buyer is going to anchor to. Your old assessment almost certainly isn't.

Check your HonestDoor Price before your next conversation with a realtor, a lender, or a buyer. It's your real-world check against a system that was never built to move as fast as the market does.

The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you're a Hampstead homeowner eyeing a summer sale, here's the honest read. Demand is not frenzied, but this neighbourhood holds value like few others in Montreal. One house sold last month - low volume, but that's normal for a market at this price point. Fewer sales means each listing gets more attention.

The predicted value of $2,403,218 is running ahead of the recent sale average of $1,750,000. That spread tells you pricing strategy matters enormously here. Come in too low and you leave money on the table. Come in anchored to your HonestDoor Price and you're starting the conversation in the right place.

For condo owners, the story is similar. Values are flat but firm. Rental demand is real - $2,767 per month in estimated rent with a 3.70% yield gives buyers a reason to pay your price. Lead with that when you're marketing.

Bottom line - Hampstead is not a market you rush. But if you're prepared, priced right, and using current data instead of last year's assessment, this summer is a reasonable time to move.
