Condos - Top of the Leaderboard
Here is something worth paying attention to. Condos in Saint-Franois-Xavier rank 4 out of 5 neighbourhoods for growth - below average on paper.

The Secret Sauce - Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment
Your city assessment is a snapshot from the past. It gets updated on a schedule that has nothing to do with what buyers are actually paying right now. The HonestDoor Price is a real-time estimate built from current market activity - not a number frozen in time by a government office.
For houses in Saint-Franois-Xavier, the HonestDoor Price of $410,884 is already running ahead of the 3-month moving average of $399,339. That gap is your city assessment's blind spot. If you are pricing a home based on an old assessment, you could be underselling by thousands. Check your HonestDoor Price first - it is the real-world number, not the bureaucratic one.
So What Does This Mean If You Are Selling This Summer?
Straight answer: the window is open, but it is not wide open. House prices are up 1.86% and trending above the moving average - that is a seller-friendly signal. Condo prices dipped a fraction (-0.25%), but demand is clearly there given the rental yield and that top Airbnb ranking.
A few things to keep in mind before you plant that "For Sale" sign:
- Houses are appreciating - pricing at or just above $410,000 puts you in a competitive spot
- Condo buyers in this neighbourhood expect to pay a premium compared to the rest of Rivire-Du-Loup - lean into that
- A rental yield of 5.82% on houses is a strong pitch to investor buyers - use it
- The Airbnb angle (#1 rank for condos) is a legitimate selling point for the right buyer
Summer is historically when buyers are most active. The data here is not screaming "sell now or miss out" - but it is saying the market is stable and slightly in your favour. Do not wait for the next tax assessment to tell you what your home is worth. Check your HonestDoor Price today and go in with the real number.
