À la recherche de Condos? L’important: Le prix, la superficie et les dimensions.

June 23, 2009 By 9 Comments

Dernièrement j’ai reçu beaucoup d’appels d’acheteurs recherchant des condos au centre-ville en dessous de 150.000$.
Bien que nous les ayons dans notre système, nombreuses de ces propriétés sont à rénover , petites en superficie ou situées au sous-sol et/ou au niveau terrasse.

Rappelez-vous que le prix est fixé par rapport à certains facteurs: Situation par rapport au voisinage (Centre-Ville, Vieux-Port, Le Plateau, NDG, Rosemont, etc.), le niveau de l’étage (par exemple: un condo au dernier étage sera plus cher que celui situé au premier étage) et s’il inclut un garage ou un parking entre autres.

Si votre prix maximum ne correspond pas à vos critères, vous devriez peut-être chercher dans un autre quartier qui offre plus d’espace pour un prix inférieur. Ou accorder vos critères pour rester vivre dans le quartier que vous avez choisi.

Revoyez la dimension de la propriété , si votre budget est de 120000$ et vous cherchez un condo de 1200 pc.
au centre ville……. je crois que ce sera difficile. Il faut choisir: Rester au centre-ville dans un condo moins spacieux, ou (à nouveau) changer de quartier.

N’oubliez pas, un garage ajoute de la valeur à la propriété, le prix moyen pour un parking extérieur se situe entre 10,000$ et 15,000$. Un garage intérieur entre 20,000 et 35,000$ dépendant du quartier. [Read more...]

Condos for less than 100K?

May 15, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Recently one of my readers asked me if there was still condos available for less than $100,000.
I don’t often come across properties within this price range, but for the sake of knowing what you can get for that price, I did a quick search and found that:

  • Homes for less than 100k are often mobile homes.
  • Condos are still available, but they are quite small and in need of major renovations.

The condos found under this criteria were mostly found on the east end (R.D.P/ P.A.T), some others in Ahuntsic and one in Côte-des-Neiges. Here is a compiled list of the properties available (PDF file), these properties are listed with different brokers.
Not all the properties have many images, but it gives you an idea of what you can get for that amount of money in today’s market.

Club Sommet: Downtown, Hip and Affordable

April 9, 2009 By 9 Comments

It’s been a while since we spoke about the Club Sommet, ever since my visit to the project there are nothing but good news. The renovation of the existing units are now taking place, and there are many styles to choose from. I had the opportunity to visit the completely furnished condo models, from different sizes and layouts, which gives us a greater range of options. It is a lot easier to envision yourself living there once you see the actual finished units. And they have quite a few!

An interesting part of this project is the versatility and the customization of the units. They can modify units to enlarge them by combining two (or more) units to meet the client’s need. I haven’t heard of a project downtown that modify existing units, and I think is fantastic.

The lobby has a stylish concept with a high end design, and it will include a concierge service. The rooftop terrace will offer BBQ facilities and lounge chair (tanning, anyone?) There was also a mention of a health club, sauna and pool (indoor and outdoor).
Now, get this…they are making a small waterfall that you can view from the courtyard where the outdoor pool will be, surrounded with gardens. [Read more...]

Describing apartments in Montreal

If you are new to Montreal, you’ve probably seen the descriptions for the living space, apartments or homes, signs with 2 ½, or 5 ½ as opposed to “one bedroom condo/home” or “3 bedroom apartment” sort of thing. If you haven’t figured it out yet, here is a quick (and hopefully clear) explanation.

Understanding the way we describe apartments in Montreal can be quite simple once you keep these tips in mind.

First and foremost, remember that the “1/2″ half part, always refers to a bathroom.
After that, every room is counted.

For example: [Read more...]
