    What Quebec’s June Housing Trends Mean for Mortgages and the Bank of Canada

    Quebec’s housing market remains resilient, with rising prices and vigorous mortgage activity in most regions. For homebuyers, affordability is eroding in high-demand areas like Montreal and Quebec City; however, more rural or mid-sized markets still offer opportunities, especially where listings are scarce and demand is growing. Renewers will feel the pressure of higher rates but may take advantage of rising home equity to offset costs. For refinancers, those holding plexes or investment properties in fast-growing regions like the Laurentians could find favourable conditions to unlock equity or consolidate debt.

    The Bank of Canada will be closely watching Québec’s mortgage growth and pricing momentum. Even as national inflation trends downward, provincial markets like Québec, with double-digit price gains and faster mortgage issuance, could delay deeper rate cuts if demand and credit continue to accelerate.
