What Determines Your Montreal Home's Value

Updated September 2026

I'm Christopher Georges, a Montreal real estate broker, and I personally prepare every evaluation myself — not an algorithm, not a call center. Your home's value comes down to three things: what similar homes nearby actually sold for, the condition and upgrades you've made, and how the market is moving right now. An accurate number needs all three — not just a citywide average. I put this together at no cost and with no obligation to list, because it's also how I hope to earn the chance to work with you when you're ready to sell.

Three Ways to Get a Number

Home evaluation: an informal, no-cost estimate from a real estate agent, based on recent comparable sales and current market conditions — this is what you get here.

Comparative Market Analysis (CMA): a more detailed version of the above, comparing your property directly against similar homes that recently sold nearby, with a written report you can use to set a listing price.

Appraisal: a formal, paid assessment by a certified appraiser, usually required by a lender for mortgage or refinancing purposes rather than for setting a list price.

Online estimate tools can give you a rough starting point, but they work off public data and can miss recent renovations, unique features, or hyper-local trends specific to your block. A real evaluation from someone who knows the neighbourhood closes that gap.

Once you submit your address, expect a call from me personally within 24 hours to confirm a few details about your property — layout, upgrades, timeline — before I finalize your evaluation. It isn't a sales pitch, it's how I make sure the number I give you actually reflects your home. If a call catches you off guard, that's this — feel free to pick up.

What to Expect, Step by Step

Tell me about your property. Address, property type, and any upgrades or renovations worth noting.
I pull comparables. Recently sold properties in your neighbourhood, adjusted for size, condition, and features.
I review your home. A quick call or, if useful, an in-person walkthrough to account for anything the data alone won't show.
You get your evaluation. A clear number with the comparables behind it, plus honest advice on what could raise it.
You decide what's next. There's no obligation to list with me — but I'm always hoping to earn that conversation when you're ready.

Tips to Maximize Your Home's Value

Fresh paint, neutral colours. A clean, neutral palette reads as move-in-ready to the widest range of buyers.

Fix the small stuff first. Leaky faucets, loose handles, squeaky doors — minor repairs shape a buyer's first impression disproportionately.

Curb appeal matters more than you'd think. Landscaping, exterior touch-ups, and outdoor lighting set expectations before anyone steps inside.

Declutter and depersonalize. Rooms photograph and show larger, and buyers picture themselves in the space more easily.

Document your upgrades. Dates and costs for renovations help me — and future appraisers — account for the value they added.

Price it right from day one. Homes priced accurately at launch attract more showings and stronger offers than those that need a price cut later.

Common Mistakes That Cost Sellers Money

Overpricing based on emotion. It's natural to value your home highly — but an unrealistic asking price mostly just delays the sale and can make buyers assume something's wrong.

Trusting an online estimate alone. Automated tools miss renovations, condition, and local nuance — fine as a starting point, risky as your only input.

Skipping necessary repairs. Deferred maintenance shows up in buyer negotiations one way or another — better to address it, or price for it, upfront.

Ignoring market timing. Listing during a slower stretch without adjusting expectations can mean a longer time on market than necessary.

Listing without a pricing strategy. The first two weeks on market generate the most attention — an off-target opening price wastes that window.

None of this means selling is complicated — it means going in with an accurate number and a plan. That's what this evaluation is for.

Common Questions

Is this evaluation really free?

Yes. I prepare every evaluation personally, at no cost, with no obligation to list your home with me afterward.

How accurate is it compared to an online estimate?

More accurate for your specific property. Online tools work off public data and citywide trends; mine factors in your home's condition, upgrades, and what's actually happened on your block recently.

Do I have to sell after getting an evaluation?

No. This evaluation is meant to help you understand what your home could sell for, so you can decide if and when the timing is right for you. There's no pressure — my hope is simply that when you are ready to sell, you'll think of me.

Will someone come to see my property?

Not always required — I can often provide a solid estimate from comparables and a phone conversation. An in-person walkthrough gets you a more precise number if you want one.

How long does it take to get my evaluation back?

I aim to follow up within 24 hours of your request to confirm a few details, with your evaluation shortly after.
