Estimate my home →Whether you’re considering selling, refinancing, or simply want to know what your property is worth, there are several ways to get a free home valuation in Quebec. Each method has its strengths and limitations. Here are the 5 most common approaches, from simplest to most accurate.
🏛️ Method 1: Municipal assessment
The municipal assessment is the baseline reference that any homeowner can check for free online. It’s established by the municipality to calculate your property taxes.
✅ Pros
Free and available online
Covers every property
Good starting point
❌ Cons
Often below actual value
Updated only every 3 years
Doesn’t account for renovations
💡 Tip: multiply your municipal assessment by 1.15 to 1.30 to get an approximation of market value. In Montreal, the average ratio is 1.22 in 2026.
📊 Method 2: Comparable sales
Analyzing recent sales of similar properties in your area is one of the most reliable methods to estimate your home’s value.
✅ Look for sales from the last 6 months within 500 metres
✅ Compare similar properties: same type, size, and condition
✅ Check the Quebec Land Registry for actual sale prices
✅ Adjust for differences: garage, basement, renovations
This method requires some research, but it’s exactly what brokers and professional appraisers do. Sites like Centris and JLR (land registry) are your best allies.
💻 Method 3: Online estimators
Online estimation tools use algorithms and market data to provide an instant estimate of your property’s value.
