The report in question is unequivocal:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;While the residential real estate market in Quebec already had record sales in 2017, it will be smashed in 2018 with 86,000 transactions recorded through the Centris system. All metropolitan areas in the province, with the exception of Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, are actually experiencing a growth in the number of transactions this year.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Sales Records: What it Means for Sellers and Buyers<\/h2>\n<p>Although the situation of Quebec&#8217;s real estate market has been &#8220;healthy&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/genestmarinacci.com\/en\/2016-real-estate-review-genest-marinacci\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for some years now<\/a>, it was difficult to predict exactly the sales records beaten in 2017 and 2018. But what does it mean for buyers and sellers?<\/p>\n<p>Well, according to Martin Jolicoeur of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesaffaires.com\/mes-finances\/immobilier\/immobilier-vers-un-record-de-tous-les-temps-en-2018\/606512\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Les Affaires<\/em><\/a> magazine, the answer depends on the location. &#8220;When it comes to market conditions, Montreal and Gatineau are characterized by conditions that benefit sellers. Conversely, it is the buyers who have more bargaining power in the Quebec, Sherbrooke and Saguenay areas&#8221;, he says.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Expect for 2019 in the Quebec Real Estate Market?<\/h2>\n<p>To this question, Mr. Paul Cardinal, an economist from the Quebec Federation of Real Estate Boards (QFREB) told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lapresse.ca\/affaires\/economie\/immobilier\/201811\/21\/01-5205008-revente-immobiliere-le-debut-de-2019-sera-fou-disent-les-experts.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>La Presse<\/em><\/a>: &#8220;Spring will be very active.
