Pressure is rising in Quebec’s real estate market and shows no signs of letting up. The latest government restrictions had no impact on activity and the real estate boom seems to be ramping up as Quebec’s moving date, July 1st, approaches.

New homeowners often focus on redecorating as their first step toward settling in. But it’s important to start paying attention to energy efficiency as soon as you move in, so you can start enjoying the benefits immediately.

Real estate had a spectacular year in 2020 and the market frenzy hasn’t cooled down yet in 2021. Prices are rising, selling times are revving up and over-market bids are turning heads! But why is all this activity happening while Quebec is in the midst of a pandemic?

Buying a house involves a number of costs. Some are one-time expenses, while others are recurring and will need to be factored into your yearly, if not monthly, budget.

You’ll need several documents during the process of selling your property, be it to give potential buyers information or to finalize the transaction at the notary’s office. Here are 7 documents you should have on hand.

Homeowners know their house best. To make sure that a property really meets your needs and is in good condition, you should feel free to ask the owners certain questions.

When a property in Quebec sells, the buyer must pay the real property transfer tax, better known as the “welcome tax.”

When we see a home for sale “without legal warranty,” we automatically think it must have a lot of issues. But that’s not necessarily the case. This term is commonly used with estate sales or foreclosed homes.

There are a number of common conditions in an offer to purchase a property that must be adhered to, whether you’re buying a house or a condo. Until each and every one of those conditions has been met (and in a timely matter), the sale is not considered complete.
