If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in De Desranleau, here's what's actually happening. The average HonestDoor Price for houses in the neighbourhood sits at $452,335 - up 2.60% from the previous period. That's real money moving in the right direction. But here's the nuance: the predicted market value for houses is currently $441,374, and that number is drifting slightly below the 3-month moving average of $443,710. In plain terms, the market is taking a breather. Not falling off a cliff - just catching its breath.
For us in De Desranleau, that gap between the broader HonestDoor average and the current predicted value is worth watching. It tells you the neighbourhood has run up in value, and right now buyers are being a little more careful. That's not panic - that's a normal market finding its footing.
Let's be straight with you. On growth rate, De Desranleau ranks 20 out of 20 comparable neighbourhoods in Sherbrooke right now. Dead last. That stings a little to say, but you deserve to know it. The recent price change of 0.04% confirms the market here is essentially flat at the moment. Your neighbours in Des Quatre-Saisons, De Lavigerie, and De Marie-Rivier are all in a similar boat on growth data, but their price points tell a different story.
Middle of the pack on price is actually a solid position. You're not the most expensive, which means buyers still see value here compared to Des Quatre-Saisons.
Here's the thing about your city assessment: it's a snapshot from the past. The municipality looks at sales data from a window that could be 12 to 24 months old, runs it through their formula, and mails you a number. By the time it lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It's pulling from actual current sales, not last year's data. With De Desranleau sitting at $452,335 on the HonestDoor average, and the predicted value at $441,374, you now have two live data points your tax assessment simply cannot give you. That's the real-world check. If your assessment says your home is worth $380,000 and HonestDoor says $452,335 - that gap is your negotiating room, your refinancing conversation, your estate planning number. Use it.
If selling is on your mind, here is the honest take. The rental yield on houses in De Desranleau is 5.76%, which is genuinely strong. That means investors are paying attention to this neighbourhood. Estimated rent of $2,188 per month on a $441,374 property is a number that gets investor buyers interested - and investor buyers often move faster and with fewer conditions than first-time buyers.
Your Airbnb rank of 12 in Sherbrooke is also worth noting. At $111 per night estimated, De Desranleau is not the top short-term rental destination in the city, but it's competitive. A buyer who wants flexibility will see that.
The honest summer selling advice: price sharp. With growth ranked last in the city right now, you are not in a position to test the market with an aggressive ask. Buyers have options. But your location - priced below Des Quatre-Saisons and De Lavigerie - is a genuine selling point. Lead with value, price it right using your HonestDoor Price as the anchor, and you will find a serious buyer. Wait for the market to "come back up" and you might be waiting longer than you want.
Check your HonestDoor Price before you call an agent. Walk into that conversation knowing your number - not theirs.
