The proposed process
The team assesses a property's position using its features, comparable sales, local conditions and current market dynamics. The goal is to help owners understand their property's likely market position before deciding whether to sell.

Step 1 of 3 — Your property
Which property would you like to evaluate?
How a property's value is estimated
A property's value is first inferred from recent comparable sales: similar properties sold in the same area. Adjustments follow for condition, size, renovations and current market conditions. For an income property, rental potential is also part of the analysis.
Comparable sales
We select genuinely similar properties (area, type, size, condition) that sold recently, then compare their sale prices.
Condition and features
Renovations, roof, windows, lot, orientation, street: what an online estimate can't see and what can move the price.
Current market
Competing inventory, time on market and the area's trend all influence what an informed buyer would pay today.
Income, for a plex
For an income property, existing rents and operating expenses also feed into the reading of its value.
Online estimate, broker analysis or certified appraiser: which one to choose?
An online estimate gives a quick order of magnitude. A broker's analysis recommends a realistic listing price. A certified appraiser's report (OEAQ) carries formal weight, useful for a lender, an estate or a dispute. The right choice depends on what you will use it for.
| Online estimate | Broker analysis | Certified appraiser (OEAQ) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it's for | Getting a first idea of the value | Setting a realistic listing price | Obtaining a formal report (financing, estate, dispute) |
| What it relies on | General data, based on the address and the details entered | Recent comparable sales and a read of the local market | A formal valuation report produced by an OEAQ member |
| Good to know | A starting point, not a valuation: it sees neither the actual condition nor the property's particulars | A complete analysis may require a consultation and a visit | Often requested by a lender or in an estate or dispute file |
| Cost | Often free | Free and no-obligation with Équipe Lefrançois | Paid (the appraiser's fees) |
Median sale prices by area and property type
This table shows the median sale price observed in each area the team follows, by property type, over the last four quarters through Q3 2026. These are market benchmarks, not your property's value: condition, street and features can set it well apart.

Frequently asked questions
The questions owners ask most often before a valuation.
Market value depends on comparable sales, location, condition, property features and current market conditions. An online estimate is a starting point; a complete analysis may require a consultation and property visit.
No. The municipal assessment is used to calculate property taxes. In Montreal and the Town of Mount Royal, the 2026-2027-2028 roll, in force since January 1, 2026, reflects market conditions as of July 1, 2024. Market value is what an informed buyer would pay today, given the property's condition and recent comparable sales, so the two can differ significantly.
Yes. A valuation of your property by Équipe Lefrançois is free and comes with no obligation: it helps you understand your position, and the decision to sell, and when, remains yours.
It's a good starting point, but not a valuation. An online tool relies on general data and can't see the property's actual condition, renovations or distinctive features such as orientation, lot, view or street. Setting a listing price still requires a broker's analysis of comparable sales, ideally after a visit.
The team combines an analysis of recent comparable sales in the neighbourhood, a review of current local market conditions and a direct conversation with a broker to arrive at a positioning recommendation.
The Montreal agglomeration's property assessment roll, which includes the Town of Mount Royal, can be viewed free of charge on montreal.ca ("Property assessment roll") by address or registration number. It shows the land and building values used for the current roll.
A real estate broker prepares a comparative market analysis to recommend a realistic listing price. A chartered appraiser, a member of the Ordre des évaluateurs agréés du Québec (OEAQ), produces a formal appraisal report, often required by a lender or for an estate or legal matter. They serve different purposes.
A real estate broker active in the area can prepare a comparative market analysis to estimate a realistic sale price; Équipe Lefrançois does so in the Town of Mount Royal and Outremont, among other areas. For a formal report (financing, estate, legal matter), hire a chartered appraiser who is a member of the OEAQ.
Location, overall condition, size, property type and any distinctive features are part of what's considered, alongside comparable sales and current market conditions.
An online estimate is a starting point based on the address and features provided; a complete analysis may then require a consultation and a visit with a broker.
If possible, gather your certificate of location, municipal and school tax bills, the list and invoices of recent renovations and, for a condo, the syndicate documents (declaration of co-ownership, financial statements, condo fees). They allow a more accurate and faster reading of value.
Not always in proportion to what they cost. Work that fixes a problem (roof, windows, foundation, electrical) mainly protects value and makes the sale easier, while highly personalized renovations are rarely recovered in full. Keep a complete file (invoices, contractors, warranties): it supports your asking price.
