Westmount remains the pinnacle of Montreal’s luxury landscape, where extreme scarcity of inventory continues to drive m² Prices to historic highs. While new high-end residential developments are surfacing near the city’s southeastern border, the market is primarily constrained by a lack of available heritage stock. The elevated Cost of Living here is balanced by unmatched municipal services and elite school access, though high entry costs may deter smaller portfolios. Our Investment Outlook for 2026 is stable: Westmount is a defensive 'hold' for capital preservation rather than high-yield speculative growth.
