We built this for people like us
When we started looking to buy in Montreal, we felt overwhelmed by listings and underserved by analysis. We built Base Pivot to change that.
Our Mission
Most real estate platforms focus on listings. We focus on context. You do not need another place to search for properties. You need a place to understand what is happening in the market, how neighborhoods compare, and what matters when making your decision.
Base Pivot exists to help you make smarter real estate decisions in Montreal. We provide clear market insights, neighborhood intelligence, and practical tools that turn assumptions into scenarios. We explain trends, cite sources, and avoid hype.
We are not agents, lenders, or advertisers. We are independent researchers who believe that better information leads to better decisions. Everything we publish is designed to help you understand what is happening and what it means for your situation.
