The South Shore: space, quality of life, access to Montreal
Brossard, Saint-Lambert and Longueuil attract very different profiles: families wanting a home with a yard, professionals looking for the REM to reach Montreal, buyers wanting the character of an established neighborhood at a better price than the island. Since 2018, I have accompanied buyers throughout the South Shore. I know the sectors that offer the best value and those with the strongest appreciation potential.

The process
5 steps to buy with confidence on the South Shore
I guide you through every step of the buying process on the South Shore, from the first meeting to the key handover.
Get StartedBefore starting visits, get pre-approval from your financial institution. I connect you with trusted mortgage brokers to maximize your borrowing capacity and make you stand out to sellers.
During a personalized meeting, I help you identify your priorities: area, property type, budget, lifestyle. This step is essential to targeting the right properties and avoiding wasted visits.
I select properties matching your criteria, including off-market exclusives. I accompany you to every showing and guide you in objectively evaluating each property: condition, potential, real value.
When you find the right property, I prepare a strategic offer: fair price, targeted conditions, competitive positioning. I negotiate every counter-offer to protect your financial interests.
Once the offer is accepted, I coordinate the building inspection, follow up on every condition and work with the notary until final signature. Nothing left to chance.

Talk to Alexia
What is your real budget on the South Shore?
Beyond the purchase price: welcome tax, notary fees, inspection, tax adjustments. Total costs often exceed the listed price by 3 to 5%. Better to know this before falling in love with a property.
Brossard, Saint-Lambert or Longueuil?
Each South Shore sector has its own identity: REM access, schools, services, lifestyle. A good location today protects your investment long-term.
What are your needs in 5 years?
Family, access to Montreal, schools, remote work. On the South Shore, access to transit and school services weighs heavily in the buying decision. This reflection guides the entire search.
How is the market in your target sector?
Average prices, days on market, supply/demand ratio by city and neighborhood on the South Shore. I analyze Centris data to position you correctly when making an offer.

What South Shore buyers
want to know.
What budget do I need to buy on the South Shore in 2026?
The South Shore generally offers better value for money than the island of Montreal. Expect between $380,000 and $480,000 for a condo in Brossard or Longueuil, and between $500,000 and $700,000 for a single-family home depending on the sector and condition. Saint-Lambert, with its sought-after character, tends toward higher prices. A mortgage pre-qualification will give you your real budget before you start visiting.
Is the REM worth it for buying in Brossard?
Yes, the REM is a real asset for buyers who work in Montreal. Properties within a 10-15 minute walk or bike ride from the Panama or Du Quartier stations have better liquidity and a stronger appreciation potential. For families and professionals working remotely part-time, quick access to downtown without a car is a significant quality-of-life factor. I help you identify the zones that maximize this advantage.
What is the difference between buying in Brossard and Saint-Lambert?
Brossard offers great property diversity, from modern condos to family homes, with strong demand linked to the REM and good schools. Saint-Lambert is more homogeneous, with an established residential character, tree-lined streets and an important anglophone community. Prices there are slightly higher relative to square footage. The choice depends on your lifestyle, budget and priorities in terms of access to services.
Are there welcome taxes on the South Shore?
Yes, welcome taxes (also called transfer taxes) apply throughout the South Shore as elsewhere in Quebec. The progressive rate depends on the purchase price. For a $500,000 property, expect approximately $6,000 to $7,500 in welcome taxes depending on the municipality. These fees are in addition to notary fees, inspection and tax adjustments. I provide you with a complete estimate of acquisition costs before any offer.
