Former prime minister Justin Trudeau has purchased a new home in Montreal’s Outremont neighbourhood, finalizing a real estate deal valued at $4.26 million, according to property records filed this week in Quebec’s land registry.
The residence is located on the northern slope of Mount Royal and was acquired through a notarized sales deed registered on Monday. While the transaction is now official, the documentation indicates that Trudeau has not yet moved into the property.
The Outremont home is a two storey single family residence built in the 1930s, offering close to 5,000 square feet of living space. Municipal records list the property’s assessed value for tax purposes at $5.99 million, notably higher than the purchase price.
Trudeau has been living in Ottawa since stepping down as prime minister and leader of the Liberal Party in early 2025. He has publicly stated in recent months that he intended to return to Montreal, a city with deep personal and political ties for him.
Born in Ottawa during his father Pierre Trudeau’s first term as prime minister, Trudeau later attended Collège Jean de Brébeuf in Outremont and earned an arts degree from McGill University, followed by a bachelor of education from the University of British Columbia. He represented the federal riding of Papineau from 2008 until leaving federal politics in 2025.
The real estate documents list Trudeau as the sole purchaser of the property and note that divorce proceedings between Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau are ongoing. The former couple, who married in 2005 and announced their separation in August 2023, share three children and previously lived in Outremont during the early years of their marriage.
Property records also confirm that Pierre Trudeau’s former residence on des Pins Avenue remains in the ownership of a member of the Trudeau family.
