It's the month of December—let's go shopping!

The month of December is at our doorstep: lights appear in windows, families organize for the Holidays, and everyone seems to be rushing in a thousand directions.

One might think the real estate market goes to sleep… but think again.

In reality, December remains one of the most strategic moments of the year to visit properties — especially in the Montérégie.

Why December is an excellent month to look for a house

1. Fewer visitors = more opportunities

Many people postpone their steps to “after the Holidays.” Result: houses often receive fewer visits, giving you a tangible edge. Less competition sometimes means more negotiation power, and above all… more space to make thoughtful decisions.

2. Serious sellers stay active

Sellers who keep their listing active in December are generally very motivated. They are open to negotiating, collaborating, and finding a realistic middle ground.

This dynamic can work in your favor, and theirs!

3. Seeing a house in winter is a real test

December allows you to assess insulation, natural light, heating, snow management: in short, the essentials that make a house truly comfortable in Quebec.

A winter visit provides an honest portrait of daily life in the property.

4. You stay ahead of January buyers

January is historically a month when buyers return in force. By visiting now, you arrive before this surge in activity and maximize your chances of finding the perfect property, before everyone else.

I'll go with you. Even in December!

Despite the holiday season whirlwind, I remain available for my clients — whether for a visit, a neighborhood analysis, advice, or simply to discuss your real estate projects over hot cup of coffee.
