As summer winds down and backpacks come out, the back-to-school season isn’t just about new beginnings for students — it’s also a critical window for homebuyers and sellers in Montreal.
Whether you’re a parent, an investor, or planning your next move, here’s why September is a strategic month in real estate.
🎒 1. Families Are Settling In — Or Looking to Upgrade
Back-to-school often marks the start of a new routine. For many families, it’s a time to evaluate whether their current home fits their evolving needs.
➡️ Do you need more space for growing kids?
➡️ Are you now working remotely and need a home office?
If you’re planning a move, now’s the time to start prepping before winter hits.
🏘️ 2. Buyer Activity Spikes in Early Fall
As the school year begins, many buyers — especially those without school-age kids — ramp up their home searches.
This means:
✔️ Less competition than spring, but
✔️ More serious buyers in the market
If you’re thinking of selling, listing your home in September or October can put you in front of motivated buyers.
📚 3. Schools Matter in Property Value
Montreal buyers often ask:
“Is this home in a good school zone?”
Neighborhoods near top-rated schools tend to hold higher long-term value and attract consistent demand — especially from young families and investors looking to rent to them.
Not sure how your area compares? I can help you research and market it properly.
🗓️ 4. It’s the Last Push Before the Holidays
Between now and mid-November, the real estate market stays active and responsive. After that, buyers tend to slow down until the new year.
So if you’re planning to list or buy before the year ends, this is your moment.
