This is one of the most common questions I get from buyers right now.

The answer isn't that one is better than the other. It's that you're buying two completely different lifestyles.

Some people want to be close to downtown, restaurants, and everything happening in the city.

Others want more space, parking, a backyard, and a little more room to breathe.

Same budget. Different priorities.

Which one would you choose: Montréal or Brossard?

Comment below or DM me "BROSSARD" and I'll send you examples of what's currently available in both markets around that budget.

Canada has entered a technical recession.
The Iran conflict is keeping inflation elevated. And the Bank of Canada is caught between a fragile economy and stubborn inflation — unable to raise or lower rates.
Here's what that means for real estate in Brossard right now.
Inventory remains low.
Fixed rates have crept up due to bond market pressure from the war. But the Bank of Canada's overnight rate sits untouched at 2.25%.
The result — well-priced homes are still selling quickly. Distressed sellers are creating below-market opportunities. And serious buyers are finding less competition than they've seen in years.
For buyers with stable employment and the right down payment — this market has more opportunity than the headlines suggest.

What should you ask a real estate broker before buying this spring? Start with these 5 questions 👇🏡

The best brokers don’t just unlock doors — they bring strategy, clarity, and the right guidance when it matters most.

Here are 5 questions that separate a good broker from a great one:

1️⃣ How many homes have you sold in this area in the past year?
2️⃣ Who pays your commission — me or the seller? (In Québec, it’s almost always the seller.)
3️⃣ What’s your strategy in a multiple-offer situation?
4️⃣ Do you have a trusted network — inspector, notary, mortgage advisor?
5️⃣ If I lose a bid, what happens next? What’s your follow-up plan?

Save this for later and send it to someone buying this year.

And if you want to win in this market, comment “WIN” and I’ll share the exact approach my clients use to secure homes, even in competitive situations 🔑

This market is weird right now… and most people don’t fully see it.

Some homes sell in a few days.
Others just sit with no activity.

The Bank of Canada held rates…
but that doesn’t mean the market is “stable.”

And condos in Quebec?
They’re under more scrutiny than ever — financing, documents, everything.

That’s why two properties at the same price can perform completely differently.

If you’re looking right now, you’ve probably felt this.

What are you seeing out there?

Why are there dogs everywhere in Brossard lately?

This weekend at Dix30 I saw two inside Zara…
and today walking into my office, there was one just sleeping in the hallway.

Not complaining at all — just feels like this wasn’t a thing before.

Curious if anyone else has noticed this?

Should you rent or buy in Montréal right now? The honest answer: it depends on your timeline, stability, and goals. 👇🏡

Here’s the real breakdown:

Renting in Montréal right now:
• More flexibility
• No maintenance costs or property tax
• But you’re not building equity, and rent can still increase

Buying in Montréal right now:
• You build equity with every payment
• Your home can appreciate over time
• But it comes with upfront costs and a longer commitment

The truth is, not everyone should buy right now.
But if you’re planning to stay put for 3+ years, the math often starts to lean in that direction.

So where do you stand? 🤔
Drop a 🏠 if you’re team buying or a 🔑 if you’re team renting.
Or DM me RENT VS BUY and I’ll help you break it down for your situation.

What does a $4,500/month mortgage buy in Brossard today?

Approximately $750k–$800k depending on financing.

While detached homes are available in this range, not all represent strong value.

Location, layout and surrounding factors play a major role.

If you’re looking in Brossard or the South Shore, feel free to reach out — I can help identify the properties that make sense.

Vendu! 🔑✨

A charming 2-bedroom condo steps from the Canal, across from a park, and minutes to the metro — the kind of location that speaks for itself! Another smooth transaction with Phil and a great result for my clients.

Most homes in Brossard right now are overpriced… but not all of them.

Some properties still make sense — but you need to know what to look for.

If you’re looking in Brossard or the South Shore, I can send you the ones I’d actually consider this week.
