Real estate in Villeray
Villeray is one of Montreal's most consistently in-demand neighbourhoods — and its numbers prove it. In the first quarter of 2024, the area recorded a 25% increase in sales over the previous year, with plex sales up 34% and transaction volume reaching $110 million. Inventory remains tight, with new listings rising but supply still below demand.
The neighbourhood earned its reputation honestly. Peaceful tree-lined streets, a vibrant commercial scene on De Castelnau and Jarry, Parc Jarry at its western edge, and Marché Jean-Talon — one of the largest open-air markets in North America with over one million visitors per year — at its southern boundary. The "Villerois" identity is real: residents are proud, engaged, and deeply rooted in the community.
For investors and buyers, the fundamentals are clear: strong rental demand (70% renters), limited inventory, consistent price appreciation, and three metro stations connecting the neighbourhood to the rest of the city. ENNA has been active in Villeray for decades — we know which streets are moving and how to price every property type correctly.
