Quebec luxury transaction posts historically high home sale price

Sotheby’s International Realty Canada has announced a new record-high residential property sale price in Quebec.

A six-acre waterfront estate located at the village of Senneville, in the Island of Montreal, will be sold for a whopping $19.885 million, the highest luxury sale price so far in Quebec. The sale is set to take place in a market seeing a record surge in luxury sales activity and prices across its urban and suburban sectors, Sotheby’s said.

“With over 400 feet of waterfront and breathtaking 180-degree views of the Lake of Two Mountains, this prestigious property is one of the most exceptional residential offerings not only within the Island of Montreal, but in the province as a whole,” said Cassandra Aurora, listing broker at Sotheby’s International Realty Quebec.

Sotheby’s represented both the seller and the buyer in the transaction.

“Although the property attracted steady interest from a diverse array of potential buyers, it was ultimately purchased by a buyer local to the region,” Aurora added.
