Montreal, May 24, 2025 – Last week, the Michelin Guide unveiled its long-awaited list of the best restaurants in Quebec. Our team of real estate brokers is delighted to help you discover the Montreal establishments that made the cut.

Montreal's rich culinary scene

The Michelin Guide awards several distinctions, including the famous stars for culinary excellence. It also awards Bibs Gourmands to restaurants offering high-quality, affordable cuisine, and Étoiles Vertes to establishments committed to sustainable development.

In Montreal – whether in the Plateau Mont-Royal, Rosemont La Petite-Patrie or Villeray areas – you’ll find a large number of properties available in divided or undivided co-ownership. This type of housing appeals to many buyers because of its many advantages, although it can also present certain disadvantages, depending on individual needs and expectations. To help you make an informed decision, our team of Montreal real estate brokers presents the main advantages and disadvantages of condominium living.

The benefits of condominium living

Living in a condominium offers many advantages, including increased security, access to various amenities, sharing of maintenance costs among co-owners, a sense of community among neighbors, and potential property appreciation.

Safety and security

In most condominiums, whether divided or undivided, you’ll often find security doors, intercoms, surveillance cameras, and sometimes even an on-site security guard. All these elements give owners a sense of security in their property.

Security entrance located at 1200 Rue Ste-Alexandre, apt. 601 | Ville-Marie

Access to community facilities

Many condominiums offer their residents attractive communal areas such as shared terraces, gyms, swimming pools and meeting rooms. These facilities enable owners to take full advantage of their living environment, while encouraging exchanges and encounters with their neighbors.

Common rooftop terrace, located at 1406, rue Sainte-Élisabeth, apt. 410 | Ville-Marie

Shared maintenance costs

Maintenance costs for the building and common areas, such as the roof and elevators, are shared between the various co-owners. This is a real advantage for condominium owners, as these major costs are shared out, reducing individual financial burdens.

Community presence

Living in a community often favors the creation of lasting social bonds, reinforcing the sense of solidarity and mutual aid between neighbors. These connections not only create a warmer environment, but also a genuine community spirit where everyone can support and exchange. It also helps to reduce isolation, by providing a setting in which people can meet and interact.

Property valuation

Finally, good building management by the syndicate of co-owners can contribute to an increase in the value of the various condos. This represents a considerable asset for owners, particularly with a view to eventual resale.

The disadvantages of condominium living

Co-ownership also presents a number of disadvantages for owners, such as compulsory payment of service charges, sometimes restrictive collective decision-making and potential conflicts between neighbors.

Obligatory service charges

Although charges are shared between co-owners, they can represent a substantial amount. What’s more, these expenses must be paid when the Board of Directors decides to carry out maintenance, renovation or improvement work on the common areas, which can sometimes result in unforeseen costs for co-owners.

Collective decisions

Decisions within a condominium are generally taken collectively, at general meetings attended by all co-owners. This is where issues relating to the management of the building, work to be carried out or budgets to be allocated are discussed and voted on. Although some co-owners may disagree with certain proposals, decisions are usually adopted by majority vote. This can sometimes be frustrating for owners whose opinions differ from those of the majority.

Neighborhood conflicts

Some tensions may arise between co-owners, due to various factors such as noise, disagreements over shared expenses, or behavior deemed disrespectful or uncivil in shared areas.

In conclusion, co-ownership living in Montreal offers many advantages, such as enhanced security, access to quality community facilities, shared maintenance costs and a rewarding community spirit. However, this lifestyle is not without its challenges, including the payment of compulsory charges, the management of collective decisions and potential tensions between neighbors. So it’s essential for every future homeowner to weigh up these aspects against their priorities and expectations before making a choice. To support you in this process, our team of real estate brokers in Montreal is at your disposal to guide you and help you find the condo that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

This week, Clara, a real estate broker on our team, invites you to discover a new gourmet address on the Plateau: Zarina Café.

Le Zarina Café: A new gourmet address on the Plateau

Located on Duluth Street, this Latin American patisserie opened its doors in December 2023. Owner Zarina is originally from Venezuela, where she already ran her own patisserie. Fleeing conflict in her native country, she chose to settle in Quebec, more specifically on the Plateau Mont-Royal.

Zarina Café offers delicious pastries, including alfajores. These little treats, which resemble cookies originally from Spain, are very popular in Latin America.

From the moment she walked in, Clara was immediately seduced by the decor. In particular, the harmonious combination of pink and blue. Zarina explained that she had chosen these colors for a very special reason: pink is her favorite color, and blue is her husband’s favorite. On one of the store’s walls is a panel of pink and white flowers that perfectly complements the space.

During her visit, Clara, our real estate broker, selected several flavors to treat her family. She confided to us that her loved ones were won over by these pastries, especially the chocolate one.

Zarina Café joins the ranks of Plateau must-haves

The Plateau is renowned as a gastronomic hub in Montreal, thanks to its restaurants and bakeries. Zarina Café is a natural choice as one of the neighborhood’s must-try pastry shops, complementing such gourmet addresses as La Beignerie and Bulla Café.

We invite you to follow the lead of our team of real estate brokers in Montreal and visit Zarina Café, located at 68 Avenue Duluth Est, on the Plateau Mont-Royal.

Montreal, March 12, 2025 – The Bank of Canada has announced a further 0.25% reduction in its key policy rate to 2.75%. This marks the seventh consecutive reduction since June 5, 2024.

Source : Bank of Canada

Further decline in response to trade tensions between Canada and the United States

This decision comes in the context of growing trade tensions between Canada and the United States. Some economists predict that future tariffs imposed by the U.S. President, along with Canadian counter-tariffs, could put further pressure on inflation in Canada. This measure is largely intended to protect the Canadian economy from the impact of U.S. tariffs.

An opportunity for buyers and sellers!

Although some economists predict that this economic uncertainty could put off investors, it represents a real opportunity for buyers. Indeed, a reduction in the key interest rate generally leads to a drop in mortgage rates, making monthly payments more affordable and facilitating the repayment of home loans.

What’s more, this situation can also be advantageous for sellers, since with a greater number of buyers, properties should sell faster.

In conclusion, while this period can be stressful for some, it also offers many advantages for both buyers and sellers.

As a real estate team, it’s essential to stay on top of the latest trends in interior design. Embracing these trends can not only modernize a property’s appearance, but also increase its appeal and market value.

Whether you’ve just bought a property or simply want to add value to your home before putting it up for sale. Our team of Montreal real estate brokers presents 8 must-see decorating trends for 2025, to enhance your space and attract the maximum number of buyers.

Earthy colors

Earthy colors are making a comeback in decorating trends for 2025. Natural hues such as beige, sand and brown are essential choices for creating a warm ambience in your home. Among the leading colors, terracotta, which evokes the warmth of terracotta, will be particularly popular for interior design. This color brings a touch of character and conviviality to your property.

Coffee areas

If you’re looking for a suggestion for furnishing a small corner of your home, we strongly recommend opting for a stylish yet practical café area. It will add a touch of conviviality while optimizing your space.

Green: the trend color of the year

Green is this year’s star color, particularly popular in bathrooms and kitchens. If you prefer a more refined aesthetic, we recommend sage green. This color is a subtle, timeless hue that will enhance the decor of your property.

The return of the striped

Stripes are making a comeback in interior design. Whether in accessories or wallpaper, it’s establishing itself as an essential trend.

Our pro tip: stripes have the power to create an illusion of height and space, ideal for visually enlarging a room. This pattern is therefore recommended for adding a new dimension to small spaces.

Real plants

Whether natural or artificial, plants have always played an essential role in interior design, adding a touch of freshness and greenery. However, in 2025, real plants will be the preferred choice. Although their upkeep can sometimes prove tricky, we invite you to discover our article on 5 easy-to-maintain plants, for a green and welcoming interior all year round.

Creating a sophisticated office corner

Sophisticated corner offices will be ubiquitous this year. Interior design experts recommend deep colors such as navy blue or charcoal gray. In terms of decoration, materials such as leather, velvet and metallic accents will be at the heart of this trend. These will bring a touch of luxury and refinement to your workspace.

Limewash

Although limewash has gained in popularity since last year, it remains a strong trend and is set to continue to mark the coming year. This painting technique offers an elegant, timeless touch, ideal for enriching a minimalist decor. Our team of Montreal real estate brokers recommends applying it to an accent wall, choosing tone-on-tone shades to create a warm, harmonious atmosphere.

Our team of Montreal real estate brokers has a few simple tips to help you celebrate a greener Christmas.

Prioritize natural decorations

According to the International Reference Center for Life Cycle Assessment (CIRAIG), buying a natural Christmas tree is generally better for the environment. In fact, the ecological impact of a natural tree is lower, provided it is composted or recycled after the holidays. However, buying an artificial tree is only ecologically advantageous if you plan to keep it for at least 16 years.

For its part, the David Suzuki Foundation recommends avoiding PVC decorations. Unless they are used for an extended period of time, at least 20 years, in order to limit their ecological impact.

Reuse packaging from previous years

Another way to reduce your ecological footprint is to reuse packaging from previous years. This simple gesture can have a significant impact on the environment, and is easy to adopt. In fact, according to ESG’s Observatoire de la consommation responsable, 46% of Quebecers already practice this habit.

Another way to adopt an eco-friendly approach to your packaging is to use newspaper that you already have at home. Not only does this reuse paper, it also makes your gift wrapping more original.

Choose second-hand gifts

The holiday season often brings gifts and Christmas lists. When your loved ones share their Christmas lists with you, it’s a good idea to take a moment to check whether these items are available on second-hand platforms. Such as MarketPlace, Kijiji or thrift stores. By opting for these alternatives, you can not only save money, but also give objects a second life, while reducing your environmental impact.

Choose your holiday cards wisely

Christmas presents are often accompanied by greeting cards. To make this accessory more environmentally friendly, we suggest you opt for cards from Quebec companies, designed to be seeded. Not only does this reduce waste, but it’s also a great way to contribute to nature by transforming them into beautiful plants after the holidays.

Prioritize activities over physical gifts

Choosing activities instead of material gifts is a great way to reduce your ecological footprint while enjoying quality time with your loved ones. Our team of real estate brokers will share with you some experiences to be had in Montreal.

For your creative loved ones, we suggest offering them a unique experience at Céramic Café, where they can create a work of art in their own image while sharing a pleasant moment in good company. If you’d like to explore your creativity from another angle, we recommend a visit to Café Moonday, located in the Plateau-Mont-Royal. This café is the ideal place to create your own candle in a warm, trendy atmosphere.

For movie lovers, our team of real estate brokers suggests a gift card to Cinéma Beaubien in Rosemont. This establishment stands out for its diversified programming, featuring local productions as well as international works. What’s more, the cinema’s retro ambience creates a unique atmosphere conducive to an unforgettable cinematic experience.

For food lovers, we recommend the Spanish restaurant Mesón, located in the Villeray district, for a unique culinary experience in the heart of the metropolis.

We hope these practical tips from our real estate brokers will help you adopt new habits this holiday season, to help preserve our planet.
