Dorval, Montreal - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Dorval Real Estate Update: Your Home Is Worth More Than the City Thinks

If you own a home in Dorval and you're still relying on your municipal assessment to know what it's worth, you're working with old information. Here's what's actually happening on the ground right now.

The HonestDoor Price - Your Real-World Check

The average HonestDoor Price for a home in Dorval sits at $1,773,667, up 0.24% from the previous period. That number is calculated in real time, using live market signals. Your city assessment? It's a snapshot from the past. The HonestDoor Price is the number you want in your back pocket when you're making any decision about your property - whether that's selling, refinancing, or just knowing where you stand.

And if you're thinking about income potential, Dorval is genuinely strong. The average rental estimate comes in at $6,267 per month, and the average Airbnb estimate is $310 per night. That Airbnb figure puts Dorval at rank 2 in all of Montreal for short-term rental potential. That is not a small deal.

The Vibe - Houses vs. Condos

Let's break down what we're seeing across the two main property types in our neighbourhood right now.

Houses

• Average sale price: $800,000 - holding steady
• Price per square foot: $597
• Predicted market value: $906,460
• 3-month moving average: $912,680 - values are dipping slightly
• Recent value change: -1.20%
• Estimated monthly rent: $3,768
• Rental yield: 5.07% - that is a strong return
• Properties sold last month: 1

Honest take - the house market here is taking a breather. That -1.20% dip and the predicted value sliding below the 3-month average tells us we're not in a sprint right now. Sales volume is thin, with only one transaction last month. That means less competition among buyers, but also fewer data points to anchor a price. If you're a house owner in Dorval, the rental yield story is actually the bright spot. At 5.07%, we're well above what most people expect from a market at this price point.

Condos

• Predicted market value: $417,769
• 3-month moving average: $410,820 - values are climbing
• Recent value change: +2.72%
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,156
• Rental yield: 3.99% - moderate but consistent

Condos are the better news story right now. A 2.72% gain and a predicted value that is outpacing the 3-month average - that means momentum is building, not fading. Our condos are also priced below nearby Valois at $449,349, which makes Dorval a genuinely competitive option for buyers who are cross-shopping the area. If you own a condo here, the trend is moving in your direction.

The Secret Sauce - Why You Need Your HonestDoor Price Today

Here is the thing about municipal assessments - they are built on historical sales data and updated on a cycle that has nothing to do with what the market is doing this week. By the time your next assessment lands in your mailbox, the market will have moved again.

The HonestDoor Price updates continuously. It pulls from real transactions, real listing activity, and real market signals. For Dorval homeowners, where the gap between assessed value and actual market value can be significant, that difference is not just academic - it affects how you price a listing, how you negotiate, and how you plan your next move. Use it as your baseline, not the city's number.

The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you are a house owner considering a summer sale, here is the straight talk. The market is not racing right now. Values have dipped slightly and transaction volume is low. That is not a reason to panic, but it is a reason to be sharp on your pricing. Coming in too high in a thin market means sitting on the listing - and that is worse than pricing it right from day one.

The good news is that your rental income story is genuinely compelling for buyers who are thinking about the long game. A 5.07% yield is a real selling point. Lead with it.

For condo owners, the timing looks better. Values are rising, you are priced competitively against Valois, and the momentum is on your side. A summer listing in this segment has a reasonable wind at its back.

Either way, start with your HonestDoor Price. Know your real number before you have any conversation with an agent, a buyer, or your bank. That is just smart.

Compared to our neighbours, Dorval sits at the premium end of this pocket of Montreal. That premium needs to be justified with sharp pricing and a clear value story - especially for houses right now. Know your number. Own the conversation.
