Montcalm, Québec - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Montcalm Real Estate Update: The Priciest Spot in Quebec City - And It's Holding Its Ground

If you own a home in Montcalm, here is the honest truth: you are sitting on some of the most valuable real estate in Quebec City. The market is not on fire right now, but it is not falling apart either. Here is what the numbers are actually telling us.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos - Two Very Different Stories

Let's break it down, because houses and condos in our neighbourhood are moving in different directions right now.

Houses in Montcalm

If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs on our streets, here's what's actually happening with houses. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $804,503. The predicted market value is $806,568 - and that number is climbing, up from a 3-month moving average of $794,188. That upward trend matters. It means the momentum is with sellers, not buyers.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $804,503
• Predicted Market Value: $806,568 (trending up)
• 3-Month Moving Average: $794,188
• Average Sale Price: $1,100,000
• Price Per Square Foot: $538
• Estimated Monthly Rent: $3,490 - $3,497
• Rental Yield: 5.10% - that is a strong return
• Recent Value Change: up 1.50%
• Neighbourhood Leaderboard - Growth Rank: 7 out of 32 in Quebec - solidly above average
• Price Rank: 1 out of 4 - we are the most expensive in our comparison group

That rental yield of 5.10% is not something to gloss over. For investors or homeowners thinking about renting out a floor, Montcalm houses are generating real income. The Airbnb picture is even more interesting - we rank 2nd in all of Quebec for short-term rental potential, with an estimated $173 per night. That is a serious edge.

Condos in Montcalm

The condo story is a bit more complicated, and we should be straight about it. The average HonestDoor Price for condos is $390,253, which has dipped 1.72% from the previous period. The predicted market value of $397,092 is essentially flat compared to the 3-month moving average of $396,812. The market is taking a breather here.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $390,253 (down 1.72%)
• Predicted Market Value: $397,092
• 3-Month Moving Average: $396,812
• Average Sale Price: $500,000
• Price Per Square Foot: $455
• Estimated Monthly Rent: $1,985 - $2,017
• Rental Yield: 4.01% - moderate but workable
• Recent Value Change: up 0.47%
• Neighbourhood Leaderboard - Growth Rank: 26 out of 29 in Quebec - bottom of the pack
• Price Rank: 1 out of 4 - still the priciest in our comparison group
• Airbnb Rank in Quebec: 3rd - still strong short-term potential at $99 per night

The condo growth rank of 26 out of 29 is the number that deserves attention. We are paying top-of-market prices for condos here, but the growth is not keeping pace with other Quebec City neighbourhoods right now. That does not mean sell in a panic - it means go in with clear eyes.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment Right Now

Here is something most of our neighbours do not think about until it is too late. The city's assessed value on your property tax bill is a snapshot from the past. It does not update in real time. It does not know that house values in Montcalm have moved up 1.50% recently. It does not factor in that we rank 7th out of 32 comparable neighbourhoods for growth.

The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check. It pulls in current market signals, recent sales, and live rental data to give you a number that actually reflects what your home is worth today - not what a government office decided it was worth a year or two ago. For house owners in Montcalm, there is a meaningful gap between the predicted market value of $806,568 and where the 3-month average was sitting at $794,188. That gap is your upside, and a static tax assessment will never show it to you.

Check your HonestDoor Price now. Do not wait for the next assessment cycle to find out what you already own.

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

If you own a house in Montcalm and you are thinking about listing this summer, the timing is not bad. Values are trending up, rental demand is strong, and we sit at the top of the price rankings compared to Saint-Jean-Baptiste ($671,897), Saint-Roch ($549,128), and Saint-Sauveur ($458,584). Buyers who want Montcalm know they are paying a premium - and right now, they are still paying it.

If you own a condo, be realistic. You are still in the most expensive condo market in our comparison group, but the growth rank of 26 out of 29 tells us competition from other neighbourhoods is real. Price it sharp, lean into the Airbnb angle - a 3rd-place Quebec ranking for short-term rental income is a genuine selling point - and do not sit on the listing too long hoping for a bidding war that may not come.

Either way, start with your HonestDoor Price. It is the most current number you have, and in a market like this, current beats everything.
