"The competition for fixed interest rate, at which major financial institutions have engaged in recent months, has greatly contributed to the booming real estate market, said Dominic St-Pierre, Director of Royal LePage Real Estate Services for Quebec . Although the inventory has increased, demand for all types of property continues and this is what explains the steady rise in prices. "

In terms of sales, only detached single storey were down by 13%. Sales of standard two-storey houses and condo for their part, increased by 4.6% and 4.7% respectively.
