Saint-Gerard-Des-Laurentides, Shawinigan - July 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 - not explosively, but steadily. And in a market where a lot of Quebec neighbourhoods are sitting still, steady is actually something to pay attention to.

We are sitting in a pocket of Shawinigan that prices itself noticeably higher than the core. The average home here costs nearly $100,000 more than in Shawinigan proper. That gap is not an accident - it reflects what buyers are actually willing to pay to be here.

Houses: The Numbers That Matter

The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Saint-Gerard-Des-Laurentides is $424,033. That is up 0.51% from the previous period, and the 3-month trend is pointing in the right direction - the predicted value of $421,862 is climbing past the moving average of $418,069. Small moves, but consistent ones.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $424,033
• Recent value change: +0.55%
• 3-month moving average: $418,069
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,029 - $2,040
• Rental yield: 5.77% - that is a strong return
• Airbnb estimate: $101 per night
• Neighbourhood leaderboard rank (growth): 6 out of 8 in Shawinigan

That rental yield of 5.77% is worth stopping on. For investors, anything above 5% is generally considered solid. If you own a house here and are not renting it out, you are sitting on real income potential. The Airbnb ranking of 1 in Shawinigan for houses is also a signal - short-term rental demand here is the strongest in the city.

The growth rank of 6 out of 8 tells us we are not leading the pack in Shawinigan right now. But compare us to the neighbours: Grand-Mere is sitting at $328,531 and Shawinigan proper at $326,776. We are priced $95,000 to $97,000 higher. That premium is holding.

Condos: A Different Story

Condos here are a more modest play. The average HonestDoor Price is $312,983, up 0.98% - actually a stronger percentage gain than houses this period. The predicted value of $309,933 is nudging above the 3-month average of $308,614, so the trend is positive even if the pace is slow.

• Average HonestDoor Price: $312,983
• Recent value change: +0.07% (short-term) / +0.98% (period-over-period)
• 3-month moving average: $308,614
• Estimated monthly rent: $1,632 - $1,648
• Rental yield: 4.16% - moderate but workable
• Airbnb estimate: $82 per night
• Neighbourhood leaderboard rank (growth): 4 out of 5 in Shawinigan

The condo growth rank of 4 out of 5 is the one number here that deserves honesty. We are near the bottom of the Shawinigan condo leaderboard for growth. That does not mean condo values are falling - they are not - but it does mean other parts of the city are gaining faster right now. If you own a condo and are thinking about timing a sale, that context matters.

One bright spot: our condos are priced above Grand-Mere ($270,977) and below Saint-Georges ($495,965). We sit in a middle range that appeals to buyers who want more than entry-level but are not ready to stretch to the top of the market.

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

Here is the thing about municipal assessments in Quebec. They are snapshots taken years ago, updated on a cycle that has nothing to do with what the market is doing today. Your city assessment might say your house is worth $310,000. The HonestDoor Price is pulling from real, current transaction data and updating in real time.

Right now, the average HonestDoor Price for a house in Saint-Gerard-Des-Laurentides is $424,033. If you are still anchoring your expectations to an old assessment number, you could be leaving a significant gap on the table - either overpricing yourself into a stale listing or underpricing and walking away from money that was rightfully yours.

The HonestDoor Price is the real-world check. It is what a buyer would actually pay today, not what a government formula calculated two or three years ago.

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

Selling a house this summer in Saint-Gerard-Des-Laurentides? The conditions are reasonable. Values are up, the rental demand signals that buyers see income potential here, and you are priced well above the Shawinigan average. You are not in a runaway seller's market, but you are not in a buyer's market either. This is a balanced moment - which means pricing accurately matters more than ever.

Selling a condo? Be realistic about the growth rank. You have a good asset, but the market is not creating urgency for condo buyers in this neighbourhood the way it is in some other parts of Shawinigan. A sharp, well-priced listing will move. An overpriced one will sit.

Either way, the move right now is to pull your HonestDoor Price, compare it to what you think your property is worth, and have an honest conversation about what summer 2025 actually looks like for your specific situation. The data is there - use it.
