If you own property in Secteur Centre-Ville and the last number you checked was your city tax assessment, you are probably working with stale data. The market has moved. Here is the real picture.
We have two pretty different stories playing out in our neighbourhood right now, depending on what you own.
Houses are holding steady. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $379,810, and the 3-month trend is pointing upward - the moving average was $378,774, and the current predicted value is $379,827. That is a slow climb, not a rocket ship, but it is movement in the right direction. The recent change of -0.76% is worth watching, but it is not a reason to panic. Think of it as the market catching its breath after a run.
Condos are a different conversation. At an average HonestDoor Price of $518,283, condos in Centre-Ville are the priciest product in our immediate comparison set. Every nearby neighbourhood - Saint-Ludger, Riviere-Du-Loup, Parc-Blais - comes in significantly cheaper. If you own a condo here, you are sitting at the top of the local leaderboard in terms of value. The predicted market value of $518,820 is already creeping above the 3-month moving average of $518,471, which signals the floor is holding.
On the neighbourhood leaderboard, our houses rank 4th out of 6 for growth in Sept-Iles. Our condos rank 1st out of 1 comparable condo area. That condo ranking sounds like a small pool, but it also means there is no comparable condo market in Sept-Iles beating us right now.
Here is the thing about your city tax assessment - it is a snapshot from the past. It does not know that the 3-month moving average on houses in Centre-Ville just ticked up. It does not know that condo values here are sitting above $518,000 while every nearby neighbourhood is still in the $200,000s.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It is pulling from actual market movement, not a bureaucratic cycle that refreshes every few years. If you are making any financial decision - refinancing, selling, even just figuring out if your insurance coverage makes sense - the HonestDoor Price is the number that reflects what a buyer would actually pay today, not what a government office decided two years ago.
For context, Secteur Des Plages is the only nearby neighbourhood priced higher than us for houses, at $447,439. That gap tells you where Centre-Ville sits in the local pecking order - solidly mid-to-upper range. Your tax assessment almost certainly does not reflect that positioning accurately.
If you own a house in Centre-Ville, the honest answer is: the window is open, but it is not wide open. Values are up from the 3-month average, which means momentum is on your side right now. The -0.76% recent change is a small dip, and if that trend continues, waiting could cost you. Summer is historically when buyers are active. Listing now puts you in front of that demand before the market decides to take a longer breather.
If you own a condo, the case for selling this summer is even clearer. You are the most expensive condo product in the Sept-Iles comparison set. Airbnb demand ranks you first in the city at $112 - $113 per night, which means buyers looking for income potential will be looking at your unit. That is a selling point you can actually put in the listing.
Either way, the first step is the same - pull your HonestDoor Price today. Know your real number before you talk to anyone. It costs nothing and takes two minutes. That is the move.
