# Longueuil's resale market is loosening while its construction pipeline shrinks More condos are available in parts of Longueuil even as fewer homes begin construction. The distinction matters because the city's flagship public housing announcement is still a future delivery story. Published 2026-09-08. Sources checked 2026-09-07. ## More resale choice, fewer new starts Longueuil is showing two different supply signals. In July, Vieux-Longueuil had 245 condos listed for sale, 38% more than a year earlier. Saint-Hubert had 134, up 60%. Yet the municipality began just 189 new homes from January through July, compared with 434 in the same period of 2025. Buyers are seeing more resale choice while the next construction cohort is getting smaller.

That does not mean completions are falling at the same rate. Earlier buildings may still finish, and the starts table does not separate the tenure of the 2026 cohort. It does mean that rising condo listings should not be mistaken for evidence of a continuing construction boom.

The current project page still lists procurement to select a design-builder. It also contains inconsistent unit totals, so an exact current project size cannot be settled from that page. The reliable distinction is its stage: a planned first phase is not housing a tenant can move into today. [Pointe-de-Longueuil procurement announcement](https://www.canada.ca/en/housing-infrastructure-communities/news/2025/12/build-canada-homes-accelerates-affordable-housing-in-longueuil.html) [Pointe-de-Longueuil current project stage](https://www.bch-mc.ca/build) Joining that project record to July resale competition reveals where near-term relief is actually visible. It is in existing condos coming to market, not demonstrated delivery from the flagship waterfront programme. A successful public build could eventually replenish a shrinking pipeline. Until an awarded contract, construction start and occupancy schedule establish the sequence, that future benefit belongs in a scenario rather than in current supply.

That combination would mean the market is adjusting before the next large delivery cycle. The call assumes that the region does not experience a sharp recovery in household formation and that fixed mortgage costs do not fall materially. Three consecutive months with condo listings below their year-earlier level in either borough would contradict that part of the forecast. A large public project start could overturn the construction slowdown without immediately changing homes available for sale.

Quebec's real estate association linked spring's slowdown to weaker prime-age employment and slower population growth. Nationally, the September policy-rate hold at 2.25% came alongside higher long-term yields since July. Public financing may help a selected development advance while private borrowers remain cautious. That divergence matters in Longueuil because its announced public pipeline and its present condo competition are operating on different schedules. A stronger local labour market remains the clearest competing scenario.
