Saint-François, Laval - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Saint-Francois, Laval: Your Neighbourhood Is Quietly Outperforming Everyone Else

If you own a house in Saint-Francois and you haven't checked your property value lately, you're leaving real money on the table. While a lot of Laval neighbourhoods are treading water, we're sitting at the top of the growth leaderboard - and most of us don't even know it yet.

The Vibe: What's Actually Happening With Houses and Condos Right Now

Let's break it down by property type, because the two stories here are pretty different.

Houses in Saint-Francois

The headline number for houses is strong. The predicted market value sits at $547,668, and that figure is climbing - it's up from the 3-month moving average of $541,505. That's not a fluke, that's a trend. The average sale price is running at $523,125, with a price per square foot around $412.

• HonestDoor Price (average): $546,419
• Predicted market value: $547,668
• Average sale price: $523,125
• Price per square foot: $412
• Properties sold recently: 4
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,677
• Rental yield: 5.55% - that's a strong return
• Recent value change: +2.14%
• Growth rank in Laval: 1 out of 14 neighbourhoods

That growth rank is the number we keep coming back to. Out of 14 comparable neighbourhoods in Laval, Saint-Francois houses rank number one for growth. Not top five. Number one. And yet our price rank is 8 out of 12, meaning we're still below average in price compared to the rest of Laval. That gap - top growth, mid-range price - is exactly the kind of setup buyers look for before a neighbourhood moves up a tier.

For landlords or anyone thinking about renting out, a 5.55% rental yield is genuinely solid. The estimated rent of $2,677 per month backs that up.

Condos in Saint-Francois

The condo picture is a bit more settled, but there's still something worth noting. The HonestDoor Price for condos averages $575,067, and the predicted market value of $575,700 is nudging above the 3-month moving average of $575,444. Slow and steady.

• HonestDoor Price (average): $575,067
• Predicted market value: $575,700
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,800
• Rental yield: 3.68% - moderate but consistent
• Airbnb rank in Laval: 1 out of all Laval neighbourhoods
• Growth rank in Laval: 4 out of 13 neighbourhoods

That Airbnb rank is worth a second look. Saint-Francois condos rank number one in all of Laval for short-term rental potential, with an estimated $138 per night. If you own a condo here and you haven't explored that option, you're sitting on something most of the city can't match.

Compared to nearby condos in Riviere-Des-Prairies, Mascouche, and Montreal-Est, our condos are priced higher - but the rental income potential justifies it.

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

Here's the thing about your city assessment - it's a snapshot from the past. The city looks at a fixed date, runs its numbers, and that's what you get for the next few years, whether the market moves or not.

The HonestDoor Price is different. It updates in real time, pulling in actual sales data and market signals as they happen. Right now, the HonestDoor Price for houses in Saint-Francois is $546,419. If your tax assessment is sitting below that - and for a lot of us it probably is, given that 2.14% recent growth - then your assessment is already out of date.

That gap matters when you're deciding whether to sell, refinance, or even just figure out if your home insurance coverage still makes sense. Don't wait for the city to catch up. Check your HonestDoor Price now and get the real-world number.

The So What - If You're Thinking About Selling This Summer

Honestly? The timing isn't bad. Here's the straight version of what the data is telling us.

• Houses are growing faster than almost anywhere else in Laval - rank 1 out of 14 is not a small thing.
• Prices are still below the Laval average, which means buyers see value here. That brings people through the door.
• The gap between the average sale price ($523,125) and the predicted market value ($547,668) suggests there's room to price with confidence if your home is in good shape.
• Condo sellers benefit from that top Airbnb ranking - it's a real selling point for buyers who want flexibility.

The market isn't on fire, but it's not taking a breather either. Saint-Francois is in a quiet sweet spot - growing at the top of the pack, priced accessibly, and flying under the radar compared to flashier Laval neighbourhoods. If you're a seller, that's a decent hand to play this summer.

Get your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what you paid, and have an honest conversation about what your next move looks like. That's the only number that's actually current.
