Bridge financing for Longueuil closings

Longueuil (Le Vieux-Longueuil) median price, single-family homes — Centris (APCIQ) put the Longueuil median at <strong>$628,000</strong> for Q2 2026. For a bridge loan that makes the equity reachable at 80% ltv about <strong>$188,400</strong> (above an assumed 50%-LTV first mortgage). The same board counted 178 Longueuil sales in Q2 2026, with an average days on market of 20 days. Your own property and balance replace these numbers on the file.

Longueuil's board publishes each segment separately, and the gap is the point. At the condominium — le vieux-longueuil median of $385,000 the equity reachable at 80% ltv is about <strong>$115,500</strong>; at the plex (2–5 units) — le vieux-longueuil median of $853,000 it is about <strong>$255,900</strong>. The table on this page carries every row from the same Q2 2026 release.

On each market's own cited figure, the equity reachable at 80% ltv is $188,400 in Longueuil against Laval $190,200 (median $634,000); Brossard $219,885 (median $732,950). The comparison is the same arithmetic on a different price, which is why moving the search one municipality over changes the file before it changes the rate — lenders price the same product the same way across Quebec.

On a Longueuil home valued at the $628,000 median, a typical bridge financing client can access up to $188,400 of usable equity, assuming an existing first-mortgage balance around 50% LTV.

Because the lender decides more than the rate: how Greater MTL property types are read, how much of your income counts, and what the file costs to move. In Quebec the file is placed by a mortgage professional licensed in Quebec, through our partner network.

Two numbers, and they are not the same. <strong>The ceiling</strong> is 80% of the departing home's value less what you still owe: on a Longueuil home at the $628,000 median with a $314,000 mortgage, that is $502,400 less $314,000, or <strong>$188,400</strong>. <strong>What you draw</strong> is the gap on the purchase: the down payment due, less the deposit you already paid with your offer. On a like-for-like move at 20% down that is $125,600 less a $31,400 deposit — about <strong>$94,200</strong>. Interest is charged on what you draw, not on the approval, so the second number is the one that costs you money. Change any input and it moves: a larger deposit shrinks it, a dearer purchase grows it, and a bigger mortgage on the departing home lowers the ceiling.

Think in totals, not monthly payments — the loan lives for weeks. Pricing is Prime + 1.00% to Prime + 4.00%, or 5.45% to 8.45% against today's 4.45% prime, plus a lender admin fee of $200-$500 and around $300 of extra legal cost. On the $94,200 a typical Longueuil move needs, interest runs about $422 over 30 days, $633 over 45 days and $1,266 over 90 — so a 45-day bridge lands near <strong>$1,133 to $1,433</strong> all in. Quoted as a monthly rate the same loan reads as $428/mo, which is true arithmetic and a misleading frame, because you never carry it for a month at a time. Set the total against what a rushed sale or a lost purchase would cost.
