Single-family homes and plexes posted small increases of one per cent and three per cent, respectively.
The median price of single-family homes across Greater Montreal was $310,000 last month, up six per cent year-over-year, while plexes reached $481,500, a one per cent increase.

Canada well positioned to handle turmoil over NAFTA talks: finance minister
– canadianbusiness.com
VANCOUVER _ A strong economy is allowing Canadian officials to push for a better deal in negotiations on the North American Free Trade Agreement, Finance Minister Bill Morneau said Tuesday.
Talks on the deal are “critically important” but Canada will remain firm in getting the best possible agreement, he told the Business Council of British Columbia.
“Are there challenges? Yes. Do we need to be prepared to deal with them? Yes. We think that having our economy in the best possible position is the place from which we can do that, make decisions in a measured way, considering all the facts at hand,” he said.
The government’s latest budget included measures to expand trade around the world, particularly in Asia, and the financial plan is fiscally responsible, which means Canada can hold out for a better deal on NAFTA, Morneau added.
“We are going to continue to put forth why we don’t agree with some ideas that were put forth on the table by the United States…

Toronto area home prices, sales volume in February down from 2017 record highs
– canadianbusiness.com
TORONTO _ The number of Toronto-area homes sold last month fell nearly 35 per cent and the average selling price dropped more than 12 per cent from historically high levels set last year, the Toronto Real Estate Board reported Tuesday.
There was a total of 5,175 residential transactions through the board’s MLS system last month, down 34.9 per cent compared to the 7,955 sales in February 2017.
The region’s average selling price, covering all types of residential re-sales, was down 12.4 per cent to $767,818 _ still one of the most expensive in Canada.
Detached houses _ the most expensive of the major categories tracked by TREB _ showed the biggest declines in both the number sold and sales price compared with last year.
The detached category had also been the driving force behind a spike in prices in the early months of 2017 that prompted the Liberal provincial government to introduce a package of measures last April to cool the market.
That was followed by a financial stress test for buyers, which officially came into effect on Jan…
