The best rate in our 50+ lender network for Montreal (Quebec) is approximately 3.60% as of Jun 16, 2026. Your personalized Montreal rate depends on your file — income, credit, loan-to-value and property type. We shop every lender on one application to find your lowest.
Are Montreal mortgage rates different from the rest of Canada?
The headline rate is set nationally, but what you qualify for in Montreal is shaped by the local market: Bilingual service is mandatory. Large duplex/triplex investor pool. Desjardins (Quebec's largest financial cooperative) and National Bank dominate the Quebec mortgage market with deeply localized products. Desjardins frequently offers competitive rates with simplified closing through their integrated notary network.

What land transfer tax will I pay in Montreal?

Montreal first-time buyers can claim a $5,000 rebate via the Home Ownership Program; other municipalities have their own programs. Montreal charges municipal welcome tax brackets that exceed the provincial rate at higher values (3% on portion above $1.034M), making total welcome tax on luxury Montreal properties materially higher than other QC cities.
Can I lock a Montreal rate before I buy?
Yes — most lenders offer a 90-120 day rate hold on a pre-approval, so a rising market can't catch you (and many honour a lower rate if they drop). Start a pre-approval — no bureau pull to begin — and we'll hold your best Montreal rate.

You need a broker with access to the full lender panel — which we have, online or in person, across Quebec. We run Montreal files daily and pair the rate shopping with a local market read. See our Montreal mortgage broker page for the service side.
