Saint-Gerard-Des-Laurentides, Shawinigan - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Saint-Gerard-Des-Laurentides: Your Neighbour Just Got a Raise - Did You?

The Vibe Right Now

If you own property in Saint-Gerard-Des-Laurentides, here is the honest picture: values are moving up, quietly but steadily. We are not talking about a boom, but we are not sitting still either. Whether you own a house or a condo, the numbers are ticking in the right direction - and most of us have not looked at what our place is actually worth in a while.

Houses: Solid Ground

The average HonestDoor Price for a house here sits at $428,011 - up 0.94% from the previous period. The 3-month moving average is $421,811, and the predicted value is already climbing past that at $424,033. That upward curve matters. It means momentum, not a fluke.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $428,011
• Recent value change: +0.51%
• 3-month moving average: $421,811
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,040 - $2,054
• Rental yield: 5.77% - that is a strong return
• Airbnb estimate: $101 - $102 per night
• Airbnb rank in Shawinigan: #1 - we top the list
• Growth rank: 7 out of 8 comparable neighbourhoods

That growth rank is worth a straight conversation. On the neighbourhood leaderboard for house price growth, Saint-Gerard-Des-Laurentides sits near the bottom - 7th out of 8. That does not mean values are dropping. It means other parts of Shawinigan are growing faster right now. For buyers, that could actually be an opening. For sellers, it is a reason to act before the gap widens.

Compare us to the neighbours: Grand-Mere houses average $332,175 and Shawinigan proper sits at $330,000. We are priced well above both. Saint-Jean-Des-Piles is in a different league at $1,125,367 - a different market entirely. Our sweet spot is real and defensible.

Condos: A Quiet Overachiever

Condos here tell a different story on the leaderboard. The average HonestDoor Price is $316,617, up 1.16% from the previous period. The predicted value is $312,983, climbing above the 3-month moving average of $310,881. And on the growth leaderboard? Condos rank 2nd out of 5 comparable neighbourhoods. That puts us in above-average territory - a genuinely good position.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $316,617
• Recent value change: +0.98%
• 3-month moving average: $310,881
• Estimated monthly rent: $1,648 - $1,662
• Rental yield: 4.16% - moderate but consistent
• Airbnb estimate: $82 - $83 per night
• Airbnb rank in Shawinigan: #3
• Growth rank: 2 out of 5 comparable neighbourhoods

For context, Grand-Mere condos average $272,703 and $271,711 on the predicted side. We are running about $40,000 ahead of that. Shawinigan condos average $417,129 and Saint-Georges hits $496,268 - so yes, there is room above us, but we are holding our own and growing faster than most.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Beats Waiting for the Tax Man

Here is the thing about municipal assessments: they are a snapshot from the past. By the time that number lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual sales data and current market signals. It is the difference between knowing what your home was worth and knowing what it is worth today.

For Saint-Gerard-Des-Laurentides homeowners, that gap matters right now. Values have shifted. If you are making any decision - refinancing, selling, even just curious - your city assessment is not the number to trust. Your HonestDoor Price is the real-world check.

So What Does This Mean If You Are Thinking About Selling This Summer?

Straight talk: summer is a real window. Buyers are active, inventory moves, and a well-priced home gets attention. Here is how to read the data for your situation.

If you own a house, the market is stable and you are priced above most of Shawinigan. The growth rank is not flashy, but your absolute value is strong. Price it right and you will find a buyer. Price it on hope and you will sit.

If you own a condo, you are actually in a better growth position than most of your neighbours. That 2nd-place growth rank is a real selling point. Buyers looking at condos in this area are comparing you to Grand-Mere and Shawinigan proper - and you come out ahead on both price trajectory and rental income potential.

Either way, the first step is the same: pull your HonestDoor Price today. Not the assessment. Not a guess. The actual current number - so you know exactly where you stand before you make a move.
