If you own property in Saint-Franois-Xavier and the last number you checked was your city assessment, you are probably working with stale information. Here is the real-world picture as of today.
We are seeing a split in our neighbourhood right now, and it matters depending on what you own.
Houses: The average HonestDoor Price for a house here sits at $390,832. That number is essentially flat - up just 0.08% from the previous period. The 3-month moving average is $391,636, and the current predicted value of $390,515 is sitting just below that line. Translation: house values have dipped slightly in the short term, down about 1.76% recently. On the neighbourhood leaderboard for growth, houses in Saint-Franois-Xavier rank 6 out of 8 comparable areas in Rivire-Du-Loup. That puts us in below-average territory for price momentum right now. Not a crisis - just a market taking a breather.
Condos: This is where the good news lives for us. The average HonestDoor Price for a condo in Saint-Franois-Xavier is $301,976, up 0.35% from the previous period. The predicted value of $300,936 is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $299,962. Values are up 0.52% recently. On the leaderboard, condos here rank 1 out of 5 comparable neighbourhoods in Rivire-Du-Loup. That is top of the class. Every nearby area - Saint-Patrice, Saint-Ludger, and Rivire-Du-Loup proper - is cheaper than us on condos right now.
Here is the thing about municipal assessments - they are a snapshot from the past. The city evaluates your property on a cycle, and by the time that number lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved on. It could be months or even years out of date.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using actual market signals. For condo owners in Saint-Franois-Xavier, that difference is significant right now. Your assessed value almost certainly does not reflect the fact that you are sitting in the number one ranked neighbourhood for condo growth in Rivire-Du-Loup. That is leverage - whether you are refinancing, selling, or just want to know where you actually stand.
For house owners, the HonestDoor Price gives you an honest read on the short-term softness too. Knowing your home is at $390,515 rather than assuming it is still climbing lets you make smarter decisions - not emotional ones.
If you own a condo here, summer could be a smart window. You are at the top of the local leaderboard, values are trending upward, and every comparable neighbourhood is priced below you. Buyers looking at Saint-Patrice, Saint-Ludger, or central Rivire-Du-Loup will find cheaper condos - but they will also find neighbourhoods that are not ranked number one for growth. That is a real selling point.
If you own a house, the picture calls for a bit more patience or a sharper price. The market is not collapsing - a 5.84% rental yield tells us there is genuine demand here. But with a growth rank of 6 out of 8 and values slightly below the 3-month average, pricing aggressively is the move if you want to sell quickly this season. Overpricing a house in a softening stretch is the fastest way to sit on the market longer than you want to.
Either way, the first step is checking your HonestDoor Price today - not the number the city gave you two years ago. That is the real-world check that tells you where you actually stand before you make any moves.
