Saint-François, Laval - July 2026 Real Estate Report

Saint-Francois, Laval: Prices Are Holding, But the Market Is Sending Signals You Should Not Ignore

If you own a home in Saint-Francois and you have not checked your property value lately, now is the time. Things are not falling off a cliff, but they are not climbing either. Here is the straight story on what is happening in our corner of Laval right now.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos

We are seeing two slightly different stories depending on what you own.

Houses: The average sale price is sitting at $523,125, essentially flat from last month. Only 4 houses sold recently, which tells us this is a quiet market right now - not a panicked one, just slow. The HonestDoor Price for houses averages $536,202, down a modest 0.82% from the previous period. The 3-month moving average is $542,485, and the current predicted value of $540,644 is trending just below that. In plain terms, house values are drifting slightly downward. Not a crash, but a breather.

• Average sale price: $523,125
• HonestDoor Price: $536,202 (down 0.82%)
• Price per square foot: $412
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,657
• Rental yield: 5.56% - that is a strong return for landlords
• Growth rank: 9 out of 14 neighbourhoods in Laval - below average
• Price rank: 8 out of 12 - below average in Laval

Condos: Condos are holding up a little better. The HonestDoor Price is $575,867, up 0.19% - a small gain, but at least it is moving in the right direction. Values are still drifting slightly below the 3-month average of $575,633, so we are not out of the woods. The big story here is the Airbnb rank: Saint-Francois condos rank number 1 in all of Laval for short-term rental potential. If you own a condo and you are not thinking about that, you are leaving money on the table.

• HonestDoor Price: $575,867 (up 0.19%)
• Predicted market value: $574,767
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,800
• Rental yield: 3.69% - moderate, but steady
• Airbnb estimate: $138 per night - ranked 1st in Laval
• Growth rank: 7 out of 13 neighbourhoods - below average

How do we stack up against the neighbours? Riviere-Des-Prairies and Mascouche are priced slightly higher for houses. Montreal-Est is cheaper. For condos, Saint-Francois is actually the priciest of the bunch - every nearby neighbourhood comes in lower. That is worth knowing if you are shopping or selling.

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

Here is something most homeowners in Saint-Francois do not realize. Your city assessment was calculated using data that is already old by the time it lands in your mailbox. It does not know what happened in the market last month. It does not know that condo values ticked up 0.19% or that house values have softened slightly.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It pulls from actual sales, current market trends, and live comparable data. Right now, with values shifting - even slightly - that difference between a stale government number and a live HonestDoor Price could mean tens of thousands of dollars in how you price, negotiate, or plan your next move.

Think of your tax assessment as a snapshot from last year. Think of your HonestDoor Price as what your home is actually worth today. For houses in Saint-Francois, that real-world number is $536,202. For condos, it is $575,867. Those are the numbers that matter if you are making a decision in 2024.

The So What - Should You Sell This Summer?

If you are thinking about listing this summer, here is the honest take.

The market in Saint-Francois is not on fire right now. Only 4 houses sold recently, and both house and condo values are sitting just below their 3-month averages. That means buyers have a bit more breathing room than they did a year ago. You are not in a position to overprice and wait it out.

That said, this is not a bad market - it is a realistic one. A house priced sharply at or near $523,000 to $536,000 will find a buyer. A condo priced around $574,000 to $575,000 is in line with where the market actually is.

The rental numbers also give sellers a useful angle. A house renting for $2,657 per month with a 5.56% yield is genuinely attractive to investors. If your buyer pool is thin on the owner-occupier side, there are investors watching Saint-Francois right now - especially with that top-ranked Airbnb potential for condos.

Bottom line: price it right, use your HonestDoor Price as your anchor, and do not wait for the market to heat up on its own. Summer is your window. Use it.
