The median price for all types of housing rose to $575,000 last month, with single-family home prices rising 6.5 percent.

Meanwhile, the median price of a plex rose four percent to $754,000, and the median price of a condo rose 2.7 percent to $400,598.

Charles Brant, QPAREB's director of market analysis, says there was a “very reactive recovery” in April due to an “imminent return to the cycle of interest rate cuts” and expectations of rising market prices.

Active listings in April were up 19 percent from a year ago to 18,932, while new listings were up 33.1 percent to 7,099.
