If you own a home in Desjardins, Saint-Jerome, the market is quietly working in your favour right now. Houses are moving up. Condos, not so much. Here is the honest breakdown for us locals.
The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Desjardins sits at $533,308 - up 0.43% from the previous period. That might sound small, but the bigger signal is the predicted market value of $531,034, which is running well ahead of the 3-month moving average of $495,843. That gap tells us prices have moved fast recently, not slowly drifted up.
That 5.61% rental yield is worth pausing on. For anyone thinking about holding a house as an investment, that number puts Desjardins in genuinely competitive territory. And sitting at rank 4 on the neighbourhood growth leaderboard means we are outpacing most of Saint-Jerome right now.
For context, nearby neighbourhoods like Paquette ($539,841), Bouvrette ($556,621), and Parent ($570,327) are priced a bit higher - but we are not far behind, and our growth trajectory is doing the talking.
The condo picture is a different story. The average HonestDoor Price is $268,883, down 0.73% from the previous period. The predicted market value of $270,854 is actually sitting below the 3-month moving average of $274,828 - meaning the trend line is pointing down, not up.
Ranking 13 out of 14 on the Saint-Jerome growth leaderboard is a clear signal. Condo values in Desjardins are under pressure right now. Nearby Parent condos are predicted at $299,027 - that is a meaningful gap above us. If you own a condo here, this is not a panic moment, but it is not a "wait and see" moment either.
Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. The city looks at sales data from a reference period that can be 12 to 24 months old by the time it lands in your mailbox. A lot has changed in Desjardins since then.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using current sales, market signals, and neighbourhood trends. For house owners, it is already reflecting that 10.67% recent value jump. For condo owners, it is honestly showing the -5.37% slide. Neither of those moves would show up accurately on a government assessment right now.
If you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, buying out a co-owner - using a stale assessment number could cost you real money. The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check that tells you where the market actually stands today, not where it stood two years ago.
For house owners in Desjardins, the timing argument is genuinely strong. Values are up over 10% recently, the rental demand is solid at $2,593 per month, and we are sitting in the top third of Saint-Jerome neighbourhoods for growth. Buyers shopping in Paquette, Parent, and Bouvrette are paying more - which means Desjardins looks like relative value to them. That is traffic you want at your open house.
For condo owners, the honest advice is this - if you have been thinking about selling, do not wait for the market to recover on its own. The trend right now is working against you. Getting your HonestDoor Price today gives you a clear, current number to make a real decision from. Listing while you still have equity cushion beats waiting until that cushion shrinks further.
Bottom line: houses in Desjardins are in a good spot this summer. Condos need a sharper strategy. Either way, knowing your actual number - not the city's old guess - is where you start.
