If you own property in Secteur Centre-Ville and the last number you checked was your city assessment, you're probably working with stale data. The market has moved. Here's the real picture.
We've got two different stories playing out in Centre-Ville right now, depending on what you own.
Houses - The average HonestDoor Price for a house here sits at $386,760, down a hair - just 0.11% from the previous period. That's not a crash. That's the market taking a breather. The 3-month moving average is $383,155, and the predicted value is already nudging above that at $387,269. So the short-term direction is still pointing up, even if the pace has slowed. On the neighbourhood leaderboard, houses in Centre-Ville rank 6 out of 6 for growth among comparable areas in Sept-Iles. That's worth knowing - not to panic, but to stay sharp.
Condos - This is where Centre-Ville really stands out. The average HonestDoor Price for a condo is $519,873, up 0.18% from the previous period. The predicted value is $518,931, tracking above the 3-month moving average of $518,582. Condos here also hold the top Airbnb rank in all of Sept-Iles - number 1. If you own a condo in this neighbourhood, you're sitting on the most in-demand short-term rental asset in the city.
Context matters. Secteur Des Plages is the pricier option nearby, with an average HonestDoor Price of $485,490 for houses. Secteur Val-Marguerite ($218,909) and Secteur Clarke ($237,440) are both significantly cheaper. For condos, the nearby areas - Saint-Ludger ($214,980), Riviere-Du-Loup ($210,317), and Parc-Blais ($278,009) - all come in well below what we're seeing in Centre-Ville. That gap tells you something about what buyers are willing to pay to be here.
Here's the thing about your city tax assessment - it's a snapshot from the past. It doesn't know what happened in the market last quarter, last month, or last week. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual market signals. Right now, that means a house in Centre-Ville is tracking at $387,269 - a number your assessment almost certainly doesn't reflect. If you're making any financial decision based on your property - whether that's refinancing, selling, or just knowing where you stand - the HonestDoor Price is the number to use, not the one on your tax bill.
If you own a condo, the timing conversation is interesting. Values are ticking up, Airbnb demand is the strongest in Sept-Iles, and rental income potential is solid at $2,267 a month. Buyers looking for an income property will notice that. If you own a house, the market isn't running away from you - but it's also not accelerating the way some other parts of the city are. The 6-out-of-6 growth rank means other neighbourhoods are outpacing Centre-Ville houses right now. That doesn't mean don't sell. It means price it right, because buyers have options. A well-priced house with a 5.87% rental yield story is still a compelling listing. Know your number, price with confidence, and don't leave money on the table by relying on an outdated assessment.
