If you own a place in Desjardins and the last number you checked was your city tax assessment, you are probably sitting on a very outdated picture. The market has shifted, and the gap between what the city thinks your home is worth and what a buyer would actually pay today is wider than you might expect. Here is the real breakdown.
The two property types in our neighbourhood are telling very different stories right now, and it is worth knowing which side of the fence you are on.
Houses in Desjardins are in a solid spot. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $531,034 - and that number is up 10.67% from the previous period. That is not a small move. The predicted market value is $479,854, which is already ticking upward past the 3-month moving average of $477,149. The direction is clear: up.
For us house owners, a 5.67% rental yield is the kind of number that makes investors pay attention. If we are not living in it, someone else would happily pay $2,567 a month to. And landing at rank 7 out of 14 on the Saint-Jerome neighbourhood leaderboard means we are in the upper half - not the flashiest kid in class, but absolutely holding our own.
Condo owners, here is the honest picture. The average HonestDoor Price is $270,854, which is down 5.37% from the previous period. That is the market taking a breather. But here is the twist - the predicted market value is $286,229, already climbing well past the 3-month moving average of $273,436. Recent value change is sitting at 7.04%, and on the neighbourhood growth leaderboard, Desjardins condos rank 2 out of 14 in Saint-Jerome. That is a top performer position.
Yes, the HonestDoor Price dipped. But the predicted value and the growth rank are pointing in the opposite direction. The short-term number and the forward-looking number are telling two different stories - and smart condo owners should be watching both.
Here is the thing about municipal assessments - they are a snapshot from the past. The city evaluates properties on a cycle, which means the number on your tax bill could be reflecting what your home was worth a year or two ago. A lot has happened since then.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual market activity. It is the real-world check against a static government number. For house owners in Desjardins, that means a 10.67% jump is already baked into the HonestDoor Price - but your assessment probably has not caught up yet. For condo owners, the predicted value of $286,229 is already outpacing the 3-month average, which means momentum is building right now, not six months from now when the next assessment rolls around.
Checking your HonestDoor Price today is not just curiosity - it is knowing your actual financial position.
If you are a house owner in Desjardins and you have been on the fence about listing, the 10.67% price increase is a real conversation starter. Comparable neighbourhoods like Parent ($569,310), Bouvrette ($550,426), and Paquette ($533,687) are all priced slightly higher - which means buyers shopping those areas are already looking at our price range as a value entry point. That is a good position to be in as a seller.
If you own a condo and are thinking about timing, the rank-2 growth position out of 14 neighbourhoods in Saint-Jerome is worth paying attention to. The predicted value is already moving past the recent average. Listing while momentum is building - rather than after it peaks - is usually the smarter play.
Either way, the first step is knowing your real number. Not the city's number. Your number. Check your HonestDoor Price, see where Desjardins actually stands today, and make the call from there.
