Secteur Des Plages, Sept-Îles - August 2026 Real Estate Report

Secteur Des Plages Is Holding Its Own - But Here Is What the Numbers Are Really Telling Us

The Vibe on the Ground

If you live in Secteur Des Plages and you have been wondering whether your home is worth more than it was a year ago - the answer is yes, but the picture is a little mixed right now. The average HonestDoor Price sits at $460,243, up 3.79% from the previous period. That is real money added to your equity. But the predicted market value for houses is currently tracking at $443,428, and that number has been dipping slightly below the 3-month moving average of $447,824. In plain terms: the recent momentum has taken a small breather.

We are not seeing a freefall here. A -0.90% recent change is a nudge, not a shove. But it is worth paying attention to, especially if you are thinking about making a move this summer.

How We Stack Up Against the Neighbours

Here is something worth knowing. Secteur Des Plages is the priciest neighbourhood in its immediate circle - and by a wide margin. Look at what is sitting nearby:

• Secteur Parc Industriel - average HonestDoor Price of $138,950
• Secteur Ferland - average HonestDoor Price of $166,427
• Secteur Val-Marguerite - average HonestDoor Price of $221,046

We are not just a little ahead - we are more than double the price of most of our neighbours. That tells you something about what buyers are actually paying to be in Secteur Des Plages specifically. Location is doing real work here.

The Secret Sauce - Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment Right Now

Your city assessment was likely calculated months ago using data that is even older than that. It does not know what sold on your street last month. It does not adjust for current buyer demand or seasonal shifts. The HonestDoor Price does. It is a live, real-world check on what your home is actually worth today - not what a government spreadsheet guessed it was worth back then.

With the average HonestDoor Price at $460,243 and a predicted value of $443,428, there is a gap worth understanding. That gap is your conversation starter with a realtor. Do not walk into any negotiation armed with only your tax assessment. That is like showing up to a job interview with a resume from five years ago.

The Rental Angle - This Neighbourhood Punches Hard

If you are an investor or thinking about renting your place out, the numbers here are genuinely strong. Estimated rent comes in at $2,224 to $2,296 per month, and the rental yield is sitting at 5.73%. That is a solid return. For context, anything above 5% is generally considered strong in the Canadian market.

On the short-term rental side, Secteur Des Plages holds the number 1 Airbnb rank in all of Sept-Iles. That is not a small thing. Airbnb income potential is estimated at around $111 to $114 per night. If you have a property here and you are not at least exploring that option, you are leaving money on the table.

The Neighbourhood Leaderboard - Where We Actually Stand

Let us be straight with you. On the growth leaderboard for comparable Sept-Iles neighbourhoods, Secteur Des Plages ranks 5 out of 6. That puts us near the bottom of the pack for recent growth momentum. It does not mean the neighbourhood is struggling - it means other areas are growing faster right now. When you are already the highest-priced area around, that is not unusual. There is less room to sprint when you are already ahead.

So What - Should You Sell This Summer?

Here is the honest take. If you have been sitting on your home for a few years, you have likely built up solid equity. The 3.79% overall price increase is real. But the recent -0.90% dip and the below-average growth rank suggest the market is not accelerating right now. Waiting for a big surge may not be the play.

Selling this summer means catching buyers who are active and motivated before the fall slowdown. You have the highest average home price in your immediate area, a strong rental story to back up your asking price, and the top Airbnb rank in the city - all of which are legitimate selling points.
