Only 3 condos and 6 plexes sold in that period, too few for a median. Total residential sales came to 48, down 9%, for a sales volume of about $101.6 million. With this few sales, a median shows where the town sits, not what a particular house on a particular street is worth.

What kind of town is Hampstead?

The Town of Hampstead was incorporated on 19 February 1914, when the Quebec Legislature passed Bill 59. Its founders, a group of businessmen led at first by the engineer Sir Herbert Holt, laid it out on the nineteenth-century garden city model: low density, generous lots, plenty of trees and curved streets meant to discourage through traffic. Founding Mayor James Baillie held the first council meeting on 7 April 1914. The town resisted annexation attempts in 1916 and 1924, and by the 1920s it had strict building rules and an architectural advisory committee. Statistics Canada counted 7,037 residents in 2021. The town hall at 5569 Queen Mary Road sends the municipal tax bill and the transfer-duty bill, not a Montreal borough office.
