The real estate market in Hudson, Saint-Lazare, and Vaudreuil has seen significant shifts over the past two years. Today, we’re diving into key trends, including home sales activity, buyer demand, and home price growth, to help you understand what this means for homeowners and buyers alike.

Why First Impressions Count in Real Estate

You never get a second chance at a first impression—and when it comes to your home’s value, that first look can influence buyers significantly. Research from the University of Texas at Arlington confirms that curb appeal isn’t just about aesthetics; it can impact your home’s sale price by up to 7%.

In Quebec’s competitive real estate market, making a strong first impression could mean the difference between a quick sale at top dollar or a prolonged listing with price reductions.

Did you know that a 10% increase in violent crimes can reduce neighborhood home values by up to 6%? This is just one example of how location plays a crucial role in determining property value.

As a real estate expert in Quebec, I often get asked about the relationship between location and home value. Whether you’re buying or selling, understanding why “location, location, location” matters will help you make smarter real estate decisions.
