Free evaluation of your home in Mascouche: its market value, and what you will keep after the sale

How much is a house worth in Mascouche in 2026?

According to Centris, a single-family home sold in Mascouche at a median price of $600,000 in the third quarter of 2026, 3% more than a year earlier. Over the last four quarters, the median reaches $610,750 for 490 sales. A condominium sold for $387,500 at the summer median price, and a house that sold stayed on the market for 25 days on average.

The summer median is nonetheless lower than the yearly one: $600,000 against $610,750. That does not mean any house lost $10,750. A median splits sales into two halves, and it is not the same houses that change hands from one quarter to the next.

In Mascouche, this mix is wide. Centris publishes a single figure for the whole city, and according to the 2021 census, half of the dwellings there were built since 2001, but nearly a quarter date from 1961 to 1980. A 1970s bungalow and a 2015 two-storey house go into the same median. Your house, on the other hand, is measured against neighbouring houses of the same type and the same era.

How I evaluate a house in Mascouche

Before brokerage, I spent about ten years in scientific research, taught for eight years in a faculty of engineering and was regional manager of biomedical engineering in Nunavik. One habit stayed with me: a figure given without its margin of error means nothing. A home evaluation is a measurement. I treat it as one.

1. I choose the comparables. Recent sales, as close to your home as possible, of the same type and similar age. I add the area’s expired or withdrawn listings: they show the price the market turned down, and a seller should know it before listing.
2. I adjust each comparable for what sets it apart from your property: living area, year built, renovations and their age, lot, garage, finished basement, pool, distance from the train station or the highway. Every adjustment is written down, in dollars. You can discuss it line by line.
3. I measure the spread. Once adjusted, comparables never land on the same price. The gap between them, the standard deviation for engineers, tells you how reliable the range is: three sales within $10,000 of each other do not tell the same story as six sales spread over $80,000.
4. I give you a range, not a flattering number. The strategic list price and the probable sale price are two different things. I show them side by side, with what could move one or the other.

This is a comparative market analysis prepared by a real estate broker, not a chartered appraiser’s report. It is meant to help you decide whether selling is worth it, when, and at what list price.

Mascouche’s housing stock is young, and that changes the nature of the adjustments. According to the 2021 census, 28% of dwellings were built between 2001 and 2010, and 22% between 2011 and 2021. Between two houses 15 or 20 years old, the gap comes mainly from the choices made since: finished basement, heat pump, kitchen, garage.

The 35% of dwellings built between 1961 and 1990 call for a different look: roof, windows, electrical service entrance, French drain. A finished basement with no clear drain history weighs on the range, because the buyer and their inspector cannot see behind the walls.

Single-detached houses make up 62% of Mascouche’s dwellings, semi-detached and row houses 9%, and 76% of households are owners. Buildings of fewer than five storeys, 29% of the stock, mix condominiums and rental units: a condo is compared only with condominiums sold, 274 over one year according to Centris.

What your free evaluation includes

Comparable sales in your area

Three to six properties similar to yours, sold in the last six months when there are enough sales, further back otherwise, and I then tell you why. For each one: its listing sheet, sale price, time on market, and what brings it closer to or sets it apart from your home.

The price range

Two figures side by side: the list price I would recommend and the probable sale price. The gap between them is the negotiating margin buyers in your area obtained on recent sales, measured by the difference between asking price and price paid.

The net amount after the sale

The probable price, minus your mortgage balance, the prepayment penalty if any, the broker’s fee and its taxes, the mortgage discharge at the notary and a new certificate of location if yours is out of date. This is the figure that decides a plan. Good news on the price can vanish into a penalty nobody asked the lender about.

The three improvements that pay off most, and the ones not worth doing

A short list, specific to your home: what takes away a reason for the buyer to negotiate (a visible repair, a missing document, a poorly presented room) and what would cost you more than you would get back. No generic renovation list.

For a condo: reading the co-ownership file

Declaration of co-ownership, minutes of the latest meetings, contingency fund statement and fund study, building by-laws: I read them before setting the price. The buyer and their notary will read them too, and a special assessment announced in the minutes always ends up being paid in the price. I hold the Coproprié-T certification in co-ownership law.

Example: what is left after selling a $600,000 house in Mascouche

The calculation starts from the median price of a single-family home in Mascouche in the third quarter of 2026. The mortgage balance, its rate and the fee rate are hypothetical: they show the mechanics, not your case. Your evaluation redoes each line with your own figures.

Two items are deliberately missing: the discharge fees, set by your notary, and the apportionment of taxes at the date of the deed. In Mascouche, the last instalment of the 2026 municipal taxes was due on October 29: if the year is paid, the buyer reimburses you the share that covers the period after the sale.

The fee follows no rate set by law or by the OACIQ. It is negotiated, as a percentage or as a flat amount, and is written into the brokerage contract. At $600,000, one percentage point is worth $6,000, or $6,898.50 with the GST and QST. The full calculation is in the broker’s commission in Quebec, and all the costs in the real cost of selling a home in Quebec.

Have the penalty confirmed first: it is the line that can stray furthest from the example. On a fixed rate, the lender takes the higher of three months’ interest and the interest rate differential, and the latter can cost much more. Ask for the amount at the planned sale date, and whether the loan can follow you to your next property: the mortgage penalty, with examples.

The Mascouche real estate market in figures

Figures for the third quarter of 2026, July to September, taken from Centris on November 11, 2026. Those of the fourth quarter will replace them in mid-January 2027.

Source: Centris real estate statistics for Mascouche. Changes compare with the same period one year earlier; those for selling times are in days.

Two figures seem to contradict each other. Houses that sell go quickly: 24 days on average over one year, 11 fewer than the year before, and 25 this summer, against 43 for Lanaudière as a whole. Yet 111 single-family homes were on the market during the quarter, 35% more than in summer 2025, for stable sales.

Both are true at the same time, because the average selling time only counts houses that sold; those still waiting for a buyer are not included. A house listed at the price of its comparables benefits from a fast market. A house listed too high joins those that are waiting.

The calculation shows it. 111 active listings for 104 sales in three months is about 3.2 months of inventory at the summer pace. With supply up 35% while sales fell 1%, this ratio climbed by about a third in one year.

For condominiums, 84 active listings (+37%) for 60 sales (+25%) give about 4.2 months of inventory, and the average selling time grew by 9 days, to 43. Over four quarters, active condo listings rose 50%. For plexes, 4 sales in the quarter: no median published, and the year’s 30 sales make a thin benchmark. A plex is judged first on its rents, its leases and its expenses: see selling a plex.

Value by sector in Mascouche

Centris treats Mascouche as a single territory: no public figure separates its sectors. The analysis therefore starts from sales in yours, and only widens if they are lacking, telling you why.

Vieux-Mascouche

The old core of the city, with older properties and mature lots. Barely 5% of Mascouche’s dwellings date from before 1960, according to the 2021 census: an old house finds few direct comparables there, and each one carries a lot of weight. The village core is also subject to by-law 1089 on site planning and architectural integration programs (PIIA), in force since 2006; a buyer planning exterior work will want to know what it requires.

In May 2026, I co-hosted an open house with a colleague, on that colleague’s listing: a single-family home in Mascouche Heights. In June, I accompanied buyers to a single-family home in Vieux-Mascouche. They were mostly looking at how beautiful the house was and at the primary school close by. I pointed out what they were leaving aside: the noise from the park right across the street, and the general upkeep of the house. Your house will go through the same examination. Better to know, before setting the price, what a well-advised buyer will notice in it.

Domaine du Golf, Les Manoirs and Mascouche-Ouest

More recent sectors and a family clientele: comparables from the same era are plentiful there, and the range tightens. The gap between two neighbouring houses comes mainly from the basement, the garage, the yard and the upkeep. Against new construction, your house has two arguments: in principle it does not carry GST and QST, and its lot is already landscaped (new or resale, what differs).

The station sector, the Seigneurie and the outskirts

The Mascouche station is the terminus of exo line 15, which runs to Côte-de-Liesse station in Montreal. No public statistic measures its effect on prices: walking distance to the platform is part of the adjustments, as is proximity to Highway 640 or 25, useful for some, noisy for others. A property not connected to municipal services, with a well or a septic tank, is compared with similar properties, not with the city median. In the Seigneurie as elsewhere, sales on your street come first.

Mascouche and its neighbours

Mascouche and Terrebonne share a border, and a buyer can look in both: your price will be compared with theirs. Single-family median over the last four quarters, according to Centris:

The details are in the Mascouche real estate market in the third quarter of 2026 and in the Lanaudière market, city by city. The city is presented on my page real estate broker in Mascouche.

How it works

1. 1. You enter the address 1 minute

   The form starts with the address. Your expected selling time and your contact details cover the rest; “just exploring” is a valid answer.

2. 2. A ten-minute call Within 24 hours

   I ask the questions the data cannot answer: renovations, known issues, what you plan to do next. If you don’t like the phone, we do it by text.

3. 3. The analysis, at your home or by video On the date that suits you

   I present the comparables, the range and the net amount. A visit makes the analysis more precise, because condition and renovations do not show up in the data. It is not required for a first range.

4. 4. A marketing plan, only if you want one On request

   List price, preparation, timeline, documents to gather. If you don’t ask for it, we stop at step 3.

Municipal assessment, chartered appraiser, online estimator or broker’s analysis: which one do you need?

Why Mascouche’s assessment roll is far from the market price

The assessment roll in force in Mascouche covers 2025, 2026 and 2027. Its reference date, set by the Loi sur la fiscalité municipale (section 46), is July 1, 2023: the value entered on your notice describes the market of that summer.

The Quebec government measures the gap every year. In Mascouche, the median proportion went from 100% in 2025 to 95% in 2026, then to 88% for 2027: at the midpoint, the values entered on the roll now represent only 88% of sale prices, a comparative factor of 1.14. A house entered on the roll at $500,000 therefore corresponds, for a typical house, to a price of around $570,000 ($500,000 multiplied by 1.14). The median proportion describes the roll as a whole: yours can stray from it in either direction.

The next roll, for 2028 to 2030, will start from the market of July 1, 2026. If it is your tax bill that worries you, that is a different process: contesting your municipal assessment. For a quick ballpark figure, the online estimator starts from Centris medians.

Seven mistakes that cost Mascouche sellers dearly

1. Relying on the average selling time to set the price

“Here, houses sell in 25 days.” That figure only counts houses that sold, and 111 others were on the market in the same quarter. On listing day, the Centris.ca alert goes out to buyers whose search matches your house: listed too high, it spends that moment showcasing its better-priced neighbours.

2. Listing at the municipal assessment

For 2027, the Quebec government puts Mascouche’s roll at 88% of sale prices. Starting from the tax bill means risking a list price below your comparables, and an accepted promise to purchase cannot be renegotiated upward.

3. Comparing yourself to the median, or to a house from another era

The $600,000 median mixes the whole city. A 1975 bungalow is compared with bungalows of its era, a 2010 two-storey house with two-storey houses in its sector. To judge a comparable yourself: auditing the neighbour’s price.

4. Keeping the basement’s water history to yourself

A finished basement hides the drain and the foundations. The seller’s declaration asks about water damage in its section D4: a resolved infiltration, backed by invoices, is less worrying than a vague answer (the seller’s declaration in Quebec).

5. Showing up without your papers

For a recent house, and 22% of the city’s dwellings date from 2011 to 2021, have the documents for the residential construction warranty. For every house, keep the 2026 tax bill on hand: since January 1, the City taxes the impervious surfaces of the lot, and a large paved driveway invites the question. Finally, check that your certificate of location shows the pool or shed added since.

6. Listing a condo without its file

84 condominiums were on the market in Mascouche in the third quarter, 37% more than a year earlier. Minutes, contingency fund statement and study, syndicate attestation: a buyer who has a choice will ask for them before committing (Bill 16 and co-ownership).

7. Signing a firm purchase before selling

With supply up 35%, the time it takes to sell your own house is less predictable than the average suggests. A promise to purchase with no sale condition commits you to pay for the next house, even if yours has not found a buyer.

When to sell in Mascouche?

No month promises a better price. Three local dynamics still help in choosing.

The first has to do with families. According to the 2021 census, 44% of Mascouche families are couples with children at home, and one resident in five is under 15. For a child to start the school year in their new school, the deed has to be signed before the end of August: these buyers therefore search in the spring.

The second has to do with those moving from a house to a condo. 16% of residents are 65 or older, and 26% are between 45 and 64. For them, the increase in condo supply offers choice when buying again.

The third has to do with inventory. With 35% more active listings than a year ago, the list price weighs more than the season. Selling outside spring remains possible, with its own rules: selling your house in fall or winter.

Your personal timeline counts more than the market’s. The form asks whether you are thinking of selling within 3 months, in 3 to 6 months, in 6 to 12 months, or whether you are just exploring. Starting six to twelve months ahead leaves time to redo the certificate and take care of visible repairs.

Selling and buying at the same time in Mascouche

The census points to two profiles of double moves: the family leaving a first bungalow or semi-detached for something bigger, and the couple whose children have left, who sell the house for a condo, in a market of 274 condominiums sold in one year. The risk is the same: two notary dates that do not line up.

The order of operations limits it:

1. First know the net amount of your sale. That is what sets your purchase budget, not the roll value or the median.
2. Choose your protection: sell before signing a firm purchase, or buy with a promise conditional on the sale of your property, which is weaker than an offer with no condition.
3. Negotiate the dates. The deed and occupancy are discussed separately, and a gap of a few days can be settled with an occupancy after the sale.
4. Confirm the bridge loan with your lender. Once your sale is firm, it can advance the down payment for the purchase; it is up to the lender to confirm the terms, because I do not give any mortgage advice.

If you buy again in Mascouche, the City applies a transfer duty of 3% on the portion above $500,000, instead of 1.5%. In its example, a $560,000 property pays $7,410.50; at the same 2026 rates, a $600,000 purchase costs $8,610.50, including $3,000 for the $100,000 above $500,000. The base is the higher of the price and the standardized roll value, and the City accepts two instalments. The thresholds in the law change on January 1, 2027: the welcome tax in Quebec. The clauses: selling before buying.
