The overall increase was the same for both single-family homes and condominiums\u2014despite a four&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;year-over-year drop in condo sales during the first quarter. <\/p>\n<p>Laval led price increases throughout the region, save for the Montreal, which saw three&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;increases in both categories. Montreal property prices had suffered severely during the 18 months of Pauline Marois\u2019 hardline r\u00e9gime, which targeted the non-francophones who comprise the majority of the island\u2019s population. <\/p>\n<p>Vaudreuil-Soulange posted the poorest performance, with a one per cent fall in median prices for single-family homes on a seven&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;drop in sales, though its condo sales there increased two&nbsp;per cent, lifting prices lightly by one per cent. <\/p>\n<p>Laval condo prices ebbed in March this year, though. GMREB reported that sales were flat, compared to March 2014, leading median condo prices to fall by two&nbsp;per cent. <\/p>\n<p>However, sales of single-family homes rose four&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;over March last year, lifting prices two&nbsp;per cent&nbsp; Laval posted the property price increase despite a 15 per cent spike in new listings, which drove up the total number of active listings 10 per cent.<br \/>\n  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i[&#8216;GoogleAnalyticsObject&#8217;]=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){<br \/>\n  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),<br \/>\n  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)<br \/>\n  })(window,document,&#8217;script&#8217;,&#8217;\/\/www.google-analytics.com\/analytics.js&#8217;,&#8217;ga&#8217;);<\/p>\n<p>  ga(&#8216;create&#8217;, &#8216;UA-45892555-1&#8217;, &#8216;auto&#8217;);<br \/>\n  ga(&#8216;send&#8217;, &#8216;pageview&#8217;);<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Robert Frankwww.thesuburban.com Laval residential real estate remained solid investment during the first quarter of 2015, reported the Greater Montreal Real Estate Board (GMREB), despite an increase in supply, which saw a nine&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;jump in active listings, compared to last year.
