Quebec mores

In Quebec, it has been customary for many years for the majority of leases to end on July 1. Although July 1st coincides with Canada Day, landlords have traditionally chosen this date to allow children to finish their school year without changing schools.

This year, on the occasion of July 1st, our real estate brokers and administrative team wanted to share their best tips and tricks for a successful move!

Things to remember

Change your property address:

Canada Post
RAMQ, SAAQ, your insurance company
Your financial institution
Service providers (Hydro Québec, Internet…)

Check elevator fee regulations:

If you live in a divided or undivided condominium, chances are you’ll need to reserve the elevator to facilitate your move. However, some condominiums charge a fee for this reservation. So it’s essential to find out in advance about the regulations in force in your building, to avoid any surprises on the big day.

Tips and tricks from our team

Veronica advises you to bring sufficient transport boxes to ensure that your valuables all have a designated place and can safely withstand the move! The trick is to use color coding to distinguish between items and their respective places in your new home.

Clara recommends one or more meditation sessions before the big day! Yes, moving has been proven to be one of the biggest sources of stress, so it can be very beneficial to take the time to rest and meditate in the days and hours before the movers arrive!

Frédéric advises you to reward the people who help make your moving day a successful and memorable one! Beers and pizzas are now a tradition for anyone who volunteers to help their loved ones on this big day! If you’re familiar with our team, you’ll know that Panzeria is our favorite address for succulent focaccia pizza and exquisite Italian dishes!

Finally, our team of real estate brokers recommends that you start by furnishing the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. By prioritizing these essential rooms, you’ll quickly find your bearings and a certain comfort in your new home.

Happy moving to everyone!

Montreal, May 24, 2025 – Last week, the Michelin Guide unveiled its long-awaited list of the best restaurants in Quebec. Our team of real estate brokers is delighted to help you discover the Montreal establishments that made the cut.

Montreal's rich culinary scene

The Michelin Guide awards several distinctions, including the famous stars for culinary excellence. It also awards Bibs Gourmands to restaurants offering high-quality, affordable cuisine, and Étoiles Vertes to establishments committed to sustainable development. Finally, the Guide also offers address recommendations, without offering any starred distinctions.

In Montreal – whether in the Plateau Mont-Royal, Rosemont La Petite-Patrie or Villeray areas – you’ll find a large number of properties available in divided or undivided co-ownership. This type of housing appeals to many buyers because of its many advantages, although it can also present certain disadvantages, depending on individual needs and expectations. To help you make an informed decision, our team of Montreal real estate brokers presents the main advantages and disadvantages of condominium living.

The benefits of condominium living

Living in a condominium offers many advantages, including increased security, access to various amenities, sharing of maintenance costs among co-owners, a sense of community among neighbors, and potential property appreciation.

Safety and security

In most condominiums, whether divided or undivided, you’ll often find security doors, intercoms, surveillance cameras, and sometimes even an on-site security guard. All these elements give owners a sense of security in their property.

Security entrance located at 1200 Rue Ste-Alexandre, apt. 601 | Ville-Marie

Access to community facilities

Many condominiums offer their residents attractive communal areas such as shared terraces, gyms, swimming pools and meeting rooms. These facilities enable owners to take full advantage of their living environment, while encouraging exchanges and encounters with their neighbors.

Common rooftop terrace, located at 1406, rue Sainte-Élisabeth, apt. 410 | Ville-Marie

Shared maintenance costs

Maintenance costs for the building and common areas, such as the roof and elevators, are shared between the various co-owners. This is a real advantage for condominium owners, as these major costs are shared out, reducing individual financial burdens.

Community presence

Living in a community often favors the creation of lasting social bonds, reinforcing the sense of solidarity and mutual aid between neighbors. These connections not only create a warmer environment, but also a genuine community spirit where everyone can support and exchange. It also helps to reduce isolation, by providing a setting in which people can meet and interact.

Property valuation

Finally, good building management by the syndicate of co-owners can contribute to an increase in the value of the various condos. This represents a considerable asset for owners, particularly with a view to eventual resale.

The disadvantages of condominium living

Co-ownership also presents a number of disadvantages for owners, such as compulsory payment of service charges, sometimes restrictive collective decision-making and potential conflicts between neighbors.

Obligatory service charges

Although charges are shared between co-owners, they can represent a substantial amount. What’s more, these expenses must be paid when the Board of Directors decides to carry out maintenance, renovation or improvement work on the common areas, which can sometimes result in unforeseen costs for co-owners.

Collective decisions

Decisions within a condominium are generally taken collectively, at general meetings attended by all co-owners. This is where issues relating to the management of the building, work to be carried out or budgets to be allocated are discussed and voted on. Although some co-owners may disagree with certain proposals, decisions are usually adopted by majority vote. This can sometimes be frustrating for owners whose opinions differ from those of the majority.

Neighborhood conflicts

Some tensions may arise between co-owners, due to various factors such as noise, disagreements over shared expenses, or behavior deemed disrespectful or uncivil in shared areas.

In conclusion, co-ownership living in Montreal offers many advantages, such as enhanced security, access to quality community facilities, shared maintenance costs and a rewarding community spirit. However, this lifestyle is not without its challenges, including the payment of compulsory charges, the management of collective decisions and potential tensions between neighbors. So it’s essential for every future homeowner to weigh up these aspects against their priorities and expectations before making a choice. To support you in this process, our team of real estate brokers in Montreal is at your disposal to guide you and help you find the condo that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

You’ve been looking for a property for several months and, despite several offers, you’re having trouble standing out from the crowd? Our team of Montreal real estate brokers has a few tips to help you formulate a more competitive offer to purchase and increase your chances of success in today’s real estate market, where multiple offers are common.

Learn more about the current market

Use an experienced real estate broker

It’s essential to work with a qualified real estate broker when looking for a property. Thanks to their expertise in the current real estate market, they’ll be able to guide you effectively and help you make the best decisions when making your purchase offers.

Analyze the real estate market

By working with a real estate broker, you’ll benefit from his or her expertise in in-depth analysis of the current market. For example, he can study recent sales of comparable properties in the area you’re interested in, giving you a clear picture of prices in the area. This data will enable you to formulate a more competitive offer, adapted to the realities of the market.

Research on the property

Before making an offer, it’s essential to do your research on the property in question. You can check publicly available data. Having a thorough knowledge of the property will enable you to submit a more solid offer.

Make sure you have a solid financial position

Get pre-approved for a mortgage

Our team of real estate brokers strongly recommends that you obtain a mortgage pre-approval before making an offer to purchase. This document inspires confidence in the seller, as it demonstrates the buyer‘s seriousness and financial capabilities.

Offer a down payment

Although the down payment is not a common practice in today’s real estate market, our real estate brokers strongly suggest that you consider it when submitting your offer to purchase. It shows you’re serious about finalizing the transaction, and strengthens your position vis-à-vis other potential buyers.

Make a clear and precise offer to purchase

Offer a competitive price

Based on your research, offer a competitive price. If the real estate market is very competitive, we suggest that you make a promise to purchase that is higher than the advertised price, in order to have a better chance of standing out from the crowd, especially in the case of multiple offers.

Be precise in your conditions and clauses

Our real estate team suggests that you be clear and concise in the conditions of your promise to purchase, avoiding superfluous clauses that could be perceived as an obstacle by the seller. However, certain conditions, such as inspection, should be mentioned in the promise to purchase, as they protect the buyer‘s interests.

Be flexible with the closing date

We recommend you be flexible about the closing date, and offer a date that also suits the seller. For example, if the seller needs to relocate quickly, we recommend that you propose an early closing date to facilitate the process for all stakeholders.

Add a personal touch to your offer to purchase

Present a letter to the seller

Our team of real estate brokers strongly recommends that buyers write a letter to the seller, expressing their interest in the property and why they have chosen it. This letter is then reviewed by your real estate broker to ensure that it contains all the necessary information.

In some cases, your real estate broker could also present your promise to purchase directly to the sellers. This approach would personalize the transaction and add a more human dimension, which could reinforce the impression of seriousness and foster a better connection with the seller.

Be available and flexible

Be responsive

In a competitive real estate market, speed is of the essence. For example, it’s crucial to react quickly when sellers approach you for information or when you have to respond to a counter-offer. A quick response not only demonstrates your interest in the property, but also strengthens your position with sellers.

Be ready to negotiate

It’s important to be flexible and open during negotiations. Sellers sometimes ask for minor adjustments, and buyers shouldn’t be inflexible in the face of these requests. On the contrary, they must be ready to discuss with the sellers in order to find common ground that satisfies both parties.

In short, a successful offer to purchase requires good preparation, thorough research and a certain amount of flexibility. By working with one of our Montreal real estate brokers, you’ll be guided every step of the way, including the drafting of your promise to purchase.

This week, Catherine, Director of Operations for our Montreal real estate brokerage organization, invites you to discover the little things that make the Rosemont La Petite-Patrie neighborhood so unique. She is a proud Rosemont resident for over 22 years, and describes her neighborhood as a suburb within the city, where calm, greenery and unparalleled accessibility come together.

Many properties are built on rock.

Most of Rosemont‘s properties are built on bedrock, which is particularly suitable for all types of construction, from cottages to condominiums and plexes. Rock keeps buildings more stable and reduces the risk of subsidence or ground movement.

Shoeboxes

If you’ve ever strolled through the Rosemont La Petite-Patrie neighborhood, you’ve probably noticed these small rectangular houses, known as “shoeboxes”. These single-family homes, built in the early 20th century, were originally intended to house the workers of the day. They are particularly common in the Rosemont and Villeray neighborhoods. A true legacy of the past, these properties contribute to the history of the neighborhood and have been subject to a moratorium on demolition since 2018. If you’re looking to renovate your shoebox, we recommend you read our article: Transformation and Expansion of Shoebox Houses: Can They Be Renovated?

Rosemont's abundance of green lanes

Rosemont is the Montreal borough with the largest number of green alleyways, with over 140 landscaped spaces. These alleyways offer many benefits, not least improving quality of life by encouraging neighborly interaction and helping to reduce urban heat islands. Where alleyways are not landscaped, they provide convenient parking, making it easier for Rosemont residents to find parking spaces.

An ideal neighborhood for families

Rosemont is a perfect neighborhood for Montreal families, offering a multitude of free activities in its parks during the summer. What’s more, the borough is home to several primary and secondary schools, making it an even more accessible and convenient place to live.

A multitude of plexes

Although the Rosemont La Petite-Patrie borough is particularly popular with families, it is also a strategic choice for owner-occupiers and investors, due to the large number of plexes. These income properties offer numerous advantages to owners, such as tax incentives, attractive rental income and long-term financial stability.

6594-6598 Av. De Lorimier

In short, Rosemont is a great borough to live in, for many reasons, including its solid foundations, rich green spaces, access to free activities for children, as well as the opportunity to invest in real estate thanks to the presence of numerous plexes.

Our team of Montreal real estate brokers has a few simple tips to help you celebrate a greener Christmas.

Prioritize natural decorations

According to the International Reference Center for Life Cycle Assessment (CIRAIG), buying a natural Christmas tree is generally better for the environment. In fact, the ecological impact of a natural tree is lower, provided it is composted or recycled after the holidays. However, buying an artificial tree is only ecologically advantageous if you plan to keep it for at least 16 years.

For its part, the David Suzuki Foundation recommends avoiding PVC decorations. Unless they are used for an extended period of time, at least 20 years, in order to limit their ecological impact.

Reuse packaging from previous years

Another way to reduce your ecological footprint is to reuse packaging from previous years. This simple gesture can have a significant impact on the environment, and is easy to adopt. In fact, according to ESG’s Observatoire de la consommation responsable, 46% of Quebecers already practice this habit.

Another way to adopt an eco-friendly approach to your packaging is to use newspaper that you already have at home. Not only does this reuse paper, it also makes your gift wrapping more original.

Choose second-hand gifts

The holiday season often brings gifts and Christmas lists. When your loved ones share their Christmas lists with you, it’s a good idea to take a moment to check whether these items are available on second-hand platforms. Such as MarketPlace, Kijiji or thrift stores. By opting for these alternatives, you can not only save money, but also give objects a second life, while reducing your environmental impact.

Choose your holiday cards wisely

Christmas presents are often accompanied by greeting cards. To make this accessory more environmentally friendly, we suggest you opt for cards from Quebec companies, designed to be seeded. Not only does this reduce waste, but it’s also a great way to contribute to nature by transforming them into beautiful plants after the holidays.

Prioritize activities over physical gifts

Choosing activities instead of material gifts is a great way to reduce your ecological footprint while enjoying quality time with your loved ones. Our team of real estate brokers will share with you some experiences to be had in Montreal.

For your creative loved ones, we suggest offering them a unique experience at Céramic Café, where they can create a work of art in their own image while sharing a pleasant moment in good company.
