The condo has completely transformed the North Shore market in 10 years. In Sainte-Thérèse, the Vieux-Village district has seen about ten new projects sprout up since 2018 — meeting strong demand from owners wanting ownership without the upkeep.
2026 median condo prices
- Sainte-Thérèse Vieux-Village : $425,000 (new 2-3 bdrm condos)
- Blainville centre : 380 000 $
- Rosemère : 465 000 $
- Lorraine : 395 000 $
Condo fees — the most misunderstood element
The fees (between $200 and $600/month depending on the project) typically cover: heating of common areas, snow removal, landscaping, contingency fund, building insurance. Must be checked before making an offer :
- Condition of the contingency fund (should represent at least 5-10% of the building's replacement value)
- Minutes of the last 3 meetings (disputes, major work projects)
- Review of the maintenance log and the review of the contingency fund (mandatory since 2024)
- Condo rules (Airbnb, pet, BBQ, rental restrictions)
New condo vs resale
New condo
GCR warranty (5 years structure, 3 years envelope, 1 year finishing), GST/QST partially refundable, the option to customize certain finishes. Downside: you buy off-plan, delivery is often delayed, and the condo depreciates 5-10% in the first year (the “new-car” effect).
Resale condo
Negotiable price, verifiable real quality, fees already stabilized. Downside: finishes may need a refresh, the contingency fund sometimes undercapitalized.
Who is this type for?
- First-time buyer looking to enter the market (modest down payment)
- Empty-nesters leaving the single-family home
- Single professional or couple with no plans for children
- Rental investor (net yield 3.5-5% depending on the project)
