Chutes-Montmorency, Québec - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Chutes-Montmorency Real Estate Update: Houses Are Cooling, But Condos Are Quietly Winning
The Vibe Right Now
If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs around Chutes-Montmorency lately, here's the honest read: we're in a split market. Houses and condos are telling two very different stories, and which one you own matters a lot heading into summer.
Houses: Taking a Breather
The average HonestDoor Price for a house here sits at $408,016 - down 0.81% from last period. The predicted market value is $411,354, and that number is sliding below the 3-month moving average of $414,806. That's not a crash - it's a slow exhale. But it's real, and us homeowners should pay attention.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, houses in Chutes-Montmorency rank 28 out of 32 for growth among comparable Quebec neighbourhoods. Bottom quarter. That's the kind of stat that should make you think twice about waiting another year to list.
- Average HonestDoor Price (Houses): $408,016
- Recent price change: -1.02%
- 3-month moving average: $414,806
- Estimated rent: $2,079/month
- Rental yield: 5.81% - that's actually strong
- Airbnb potential: $103/night (ranked 22nd in Quebec)
- Growth rank: 28 out of 32
One bright spot: if you're thinking about renting instead of selling, that 5.81% rental yield is genuinely solid. Your house earns its keep as an investment even if the sale price is softening.
How does our street compare to the neighbours? Quartier 5-4 ($394,709) and Quartier 5-2 ($380,938) are cheaper. Vieux-Moulin ($434,257) is pricier. We sit in the middle of the pack - not the cheapest option, not the premium pick.
Condos: The Quiet Overachiever
Here's where it gets interesting. Condo owners in Chutes-Montmorency are sitting in a much better spot. The average HonestDoor Price is $327,094 - up 1.22% from last period. That's a move in the right direction while houses are sliding.
On the leaderboard, condos here rank 5 out of 30 in Quebec for growth. Top performers. That's a completely different conversation than the house market.
- Average HonestDoor Price (Condos): $327,094
- Recent price change: +1.22%
- 3-month moving average: $323,905
- Estimated rent: $1,700/month
- Rental yield: 4.15% - moderate but steady
- Airbnb potential: $86/night (ranked 7th in Quebec - top tier)
- Growth rank: 5 out of 30
That Airbnb rank of 7th in Quebec is worth a second look. If you own a condo here and haven't explored short-term rental income, you're leaving money on the table. Nearby condo options in Quartier 5-4 ($233,222), Quartier 5-2 ($266,412), and Vieux-Moulin ($183,937) are all significantly cheaper - which means our condos carry a real premium. That premium needs to be justified by condition and presentation when you go to sell.
The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment
Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from the past. It gets updated on a fixed schedule, not when the market moves. By the time it lands in your mailbox, it can be months or even years behind what buyers are actually paying on your street today.
The HonestDoor Price is a real-time check on what your property is worth right now - not what a government formula decided it was worth back then. For house owners in Chutes-Montmorency, that gap matters. If your assessment still reflects last year's higher values and the market has pulled back 1.02%, you could be making decisions - about selling, refinancing, or even just negotiating - based on a number that no longer exists.
Check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It takes two minutes and it's the most current number you'll find.
The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?
If you own a house here and you've been on the fence, the data is nudging you toward sooner rather than later. Prices are drifting down, the 3-month trend is pointing lower, and we're near the bottom of the Quebec growth rankings. Summer is typically when buyer activity picks up - that's your window. Waiting until fall means potentially selling into a softer number.
If you own a condo, you're in a stronger position. Values ticked up 1.22% and you're ranked 5th in the province for growth. You have some room to be patient and price with confidence. That said, "strong market" doesn't mean "any price goes" - buyers still do their homework, and so should you.
Either way, the move right now is to pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what's actually sold nearby, and have a real conversation about timing. The market is telling us something - it's worth listening.
