If you own property in Secteur Centre-Ville, here is the honest picture. The market is not on fire, but it is not cooling off either. It is holding steady - and in a city like Sept-Iles, steady is actually something to feel good about.
The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Secteur Centre-Ville sits at $382,247 - up 0.64% from the previous period. The predicted market value right now is $379,879, which is just a hair below the 3-month moving average of $380,812. That tells us prices are essentially flat, not falling off a cliff.
Here is the number that should get landlords' attention: a rental yield of 5.88%. That is strong. For context, that means if you bought at today's prices and rented it out, your rent is pulling real weight relative to the asset value. Estimated rent comes in at $1,886 per month.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, houses here rank 2nd out of 6 comparable areas in Sept-Iles. That puts us in the top tier. Secteur Des Plages is pricier at $460,243, but we are comfortably ahead of Secteur Val-Marguerite ($221,046) and Secteur Clarke ($239,939). We are not the cheapest option - and that is a good thing.
Condos in Secteur Centre-Ville are a different story - and a more expensive one. The average HonestDoor Price is $518,532, up 0.05% from the previous period. The predicted value is $518,283, just slightly below the 3-month moving average of $518,401. Again, essentially flat.
Rental income potential is $2,261 per month, with a yield of 4.00%. That is moderate - not as punchy as houses - but the Airbnb picture is interesting. At $112 per night and an Airbnb rank of 1st in Sept-Iles, condos here are the top short-term rental play in the city. If you are thinking about that strategy, this is the neighbourhood to do it in.
Compared to nearby condo neighbourhoods - Saint-Ludger ($219,310), Riviere-Du-Loup ($224,000), and Parc-Blais ($278,152) - Centre-Ville condos are in a league of their own on price. You are paying a premium to be here. The question is whether that premium works for your situation.
Here is the thing about your municipal assessment: it is a snapshot from the past. The city reassesses on a cycle, which means the number on your tax bill could be based on market conditions from a year or two ago - or longer. A lot can shift in that time.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time using current sales data and market signals. It is the real-world check against a static government number. If your assessment says your house is worth $310,000 but the HonestDoor Price is showing $382,247, that gap is not just interesting - it could be costing you money if you are making decisions based on the old number. Pricing a home, refinancing, settling an estate - all of these conversations should start with the most current data available, not last year's paperwork.
If you are a homeowner in Secteur Centre-Ville and you have been sitting on the fence, here is the straight talk.
For house owners, a 5.88% rental yield and a growth rank of 2nd in the city means demand for this neighbourhood is real. Prices are not spiking, but they are not sliding either. A flat, stable market with strong rental fundamentals is actually a decent time to list - you are not chasing a peak, but you are not racing a decline either.
For condo owners, the Airbnb rank of 1st in Sept-Iles is a genuine selling point. If you are marketing to an investor buyer, that is a number worth putting front and centre. The yield is moderate at 4%, but the short-term rental upside is the story here.
Either way, pull your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It is free, it is current, and it will tell you where you actually stand - not where the city thought you stood two years ago.
