The Shift in Home Sales: Supply Challenges Continue
The local market has been on a rollercoaster ride. In 2020, home sales surged, followed by a sharp drop in 2021. One of the biggest reasons? Low inventory.
A historically low number of homes for sale has been driving competition, leading to multiple-offer scenarios and rising home prices. This supply shortage has created a seller’s market, where homes are moving quickly, often above the asking price.

Buyer Demand in Saint-Lazare, Hudson, and Vaudreuil
While inventory has shrunk, buyer demand has only increased. One key indicator? Days on Market (DOM)—how quickly homes are selling.
- In Vaudreuil, homes are selling twice as fast as they did two years ago.
- In Saint-Lazare, homes are selling three times faster.
- In Hudson, sales speed has quadrupled compared to previous years.
This sustained demand comes from both new buyers moving into the area and existing homeowners looking to move within the region.
However, by late 2021, many buyers stepped back due to market fatigue, becoming more selective about their offers. While multiple-offer situations still happen, the frantic pace of early 2021 has eased slightly.

Home Prices Surge in the Region
