Weekend Open House Tour: March 29-2009

Filed under Open House Tour
Our first post from the new section: Weekend Open House Tour, features the best presented properties available to visit in the selected areas of Montreal. We’ve decided to include only three at a time for each category- in this case; Condos and Single Family Homes. While we are not too picky about the price (as everything is negotiable in real estate), the properties are chosen based on presentation (first impressions): images, layout and interior design.
For further info, a link to the detailed listing is included; you can find the specs, more images, the exact location and the broker’s contact info.
Condos
Note: the two projects listed below have information spaces. In the case of M9 and Benny, they are also open during the week from 2pm to 7pm. So if you miss the weekend visit, you can always go back during the week. And..Square Benny has now a BEAUTIFUL condo-model, finished and furnished.

Houses
Something we noticed at the last minute: all the houses listed below have 3 bedrooms. Interesting? I think so. The interior spaces (even the empty ones) are photographed beautifully. It’s good to see listing exhibited in a professional manner.

The M9 Evolution project is said to be in 4 phases, are the plans for Phase 3 and 4 still in the works? I think the project is lovely, but am willing to wait it out if the other phases will be built to have a cheaper price.
Hi Dahlia,
Indeed the M9 Evolution will be a MEGA Project in 4 phases, with residential and commercial units. I have still to gather all info to make an article about it. Phase 1 is finished, delivered and occupied by their owners. Phase 2 is now on the pre-sale phase. Phases 3 and 4, won't be starting until much later (more on that soon). Unit prices are lower in the pre-sale phase, once the construction begins all prices go up. It doesn't work like the re-sale market, where the longer a property stays in the market, higher chances they will lower the price. New construction has a different dynamic.
Hi Deya,
Yes, I think I got the terms confused, what I meant to say that I was waiting for the pre-sales for the other phases instead of jumping on the last pre-sale ones for Phase 2. Indeed, the prices does shoot up once the condos are built, also probably more expensive when Spring time rolls around.
Looking forward for the article!
Thanks for the reply :)
