Montreal home sales, prices rise in May despite steady rates and economic uncertainty

MONTREAL - Home sales in the Montreal-area rose again in May compared with the same month a year ago, as the city's real estate board says both activity and price growth show no signs of tapering off.
The Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers says 4,992 homes in the region changed hands last month, up 10.2 per cent from 4,532 sales in May 2024.
Charles Brant, the board's market analysis director, says it marks the third straight month of similar year-over-year sales growth despite mortgage rates remaining in a holding pattern and 'ongoing economic uncertainty.'
Brant says there are also 'no signs of a lull in price growth' as around one in seven homes sold above the asking price last month.
The median price for all housing types in the Montreal area was up year-over-year, led by an 8.7 per cent increase in price of a single-family home to $625,000. The median price of a plex rose 5.1 per cent to $825,000 and the median price of a condominium increased 4.3 per cent to $427,500.
There were 7,596 new listings in the Montreal area last month, up 11.2 per cent from a year earlier, as active listings rose 2.4 per cent to 18,920.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 9, 2025.

Shake Shack opens new St. Louis County location

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — The popular burger chain, Shake Shack, is gearing up to open their seventh St. Louis-area location next week. A Shake Shack spokesperson told FOX 2 in April the new location will open at 10752 Sunset Hills Plaza in St. Louis County. The new restaurant will open inside a former Fuddruckers on Wednesday, June 18. The location planned for Shake Shack previously housed Fuddruckers, a longtime chain known for its build-your-own burger concept. It was the last Fuddruckers in the St. Louis region, and it recently closed its doors. Police: Suspect tracked obituaries, stole from dead St. Louis County residents Shake Shack is known for its burgers, hot dogs, crinkle-cut fries, and hand-spun milkshakes with an elevated experience compared to traditional fast-food chains. The Sunset Hills Plaza location will join six other locations in St. Louis' Central West End neighborhood, Ladue, Des Peres, and Chesterfield, in addition to stands at the Enterprise Center and Lambert International Airport.

Pop-up bagel business opening brick-and-mortar shop in Encinitas

ENCINITAS, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — A pop-up bagel business is expanding and bringing its sourdough goods to a permanent location in Encinitas. Focused on using organic and locally sourced ingredients, New Wave Bagel sold its fresh sourdough bagels, bialys, schmears and sandwiches as a pop-up concept on Sundays at Ironsmith Coffee in Encinitas. San Diego-area spot named one of top bars in US for 2025: Esquire Select menu items were also sold at bakeries in Bankers Hill and Sorrento Valley in San Diego, as well as in National City. Now, the business will be housed in a permanent shop located along the North County coastline in Leucadia. New Wave Bagel was co-founded by Cheryl Storms and Matt Cardwell. The former bakers at Wayfarer Bread in La Jolla came to the San Diego area with years of experience cooking and baking in San Francisco. According to the pair, the business' name came from not only their passion for baking, but also their shared love for New Wave and punk music. New Wave Bagel will share their new space with Crossings Coffee, which will be roasting fresh cups of coffee to go with their baked goods. New Wave Bagel's brick-and-mortar shop will be located at 312 N. Coast Hwy. 101 in Encinitas. An official date has yet to be announced, but it is expected to open sometime this year.
