If you live on the Des Plages side of Sept-Iles, your home is still worth serious money - but the numbers are telling us to pay attention. The average HonestDoor Price for houses here sits at $443,428. That is not a number to sneeze at, especially when you look at what comparable spots around the city are fetching. We are the priciest neighbourhood in the comparison group, and by a wide margin.
The 3-month moving average for houses is tracking at $451,833, and the current predicted market value is $447,439. That gap tells us prices have been drifting down slightly over the past few months. We are not in freefall - this is more of a slow exhale than a crash. But it is worth knowing before you make any big decisions.
Here is the honest picture. Des Plages is the most expensive neighbourhood in this group - but being at the top of the price ladder also means we are sitting near the bottom of the growth leaderboard right now. A rank of 5 out of 6 means most other Sept-Iles neighbourhoods are outpacing us on momentum. The cheaper areas are not catching up to our prices, but they may be growing faster off a lower base.
Des Plages is still in a league of its own on price. But if pure growth rate is your measuring stick, the leaderboard is not flattering for us right now.
Here is the thing about government assessments: they are snapshots from the past. By the time the city mails you that paper, the market has already moved. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling in actual sales data and current market signals. Right now, that matters more than ever.
With prices down roughly 0.90% from the previous period and the 3-month trend pointing slightly lower, your city assessment could be showing you a number that no longer reflects what a buyer would actually pay today. Checking your HonestDoor Price right now gives you the real-world picture - not last year's guess.
If selling is on your mind, here is the straight talk. Des Plages homes are still commanding strong prices compared to the rest of Sept-Iles. A predicted value of $447,439 is real money. But the trend is softening, not strengthening. Waiting to see if prices bounce back is a gamble, and the growth rank of 5 out of 6 suggests the momentum is not on our side right now.
There is also a rental angle worth knowing. The average rental estimate here is $2,224 per month, with a rental yield of 5.72%. That is a strong return. If selling feels premature, holding and renting is a legitimate play. And Des Plages holds the number 1 Airbnb rank in all of Sept-Iles, with an estimated $110 per night - so short-term rental is another lever available to owners here.
Bottom line - if you are thinking about selling this summer, do not wait for the market to tell you it is too late. Check your HonestDoor Price today, price it right from day one, and use that number 1 Airbnb ranking as a selling point to buyers who want income potential. That combination is hard to beat anywhere else in Sept-Iles.
