(firmenpresse) - ILE-DES-SOEURS, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 03/07/12 -- The usual cold dreary days of February do not seem to have affected the real estate market. In fact, according to MLS® data, the Greater Montreal Real Estate Board (GMREB) registered a 9% increase in sales throughout the Montreal Metropolitan Area as compared to February 2011. This marks the ninth consecutive increase and the strongest one since April 2010.
"Active listings grew by 13% in February with almost 29,000 residential properties for sale by real estate brokers in the Greater Montreal area," says Patrick Juaneda, President of the GMREB Board of Directors.

The Vaudreuil-Soulanges region continued to lead the way with an overall 26% increase in residential sales for February 2012. The Laval and the South Shore regions are tied at second place with an 11% increase, followed by a 7% increase for the Island of Montreal and a 5% increase for the North Shore relative to the same period last year.
