Vaudreuil-Soulanges market as hot as ever<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

By Kevin Woodhouse<\/b>

The city of Vaudreuil continues its steady rise as new condominium projects are sprouting up as well as young families continuing to choose the ever growing community for their first home. <\/p>\n

\u201cVaudreuil is becoming the West Island,\u201d said Royal Lepage Village agent Carl Poirier. \u201cWith so many services and brand name stores coming to the area, it has become a one stop destination for residents who can get all the services they need in Vaudreuil.\u201d <\/p>\n

Poirier noted that condominium living is also in high demand and with the current large inventory available, \u201ccan be seen as a good, long-term investment for people interested in going the condo route.\u201d <\/p>\n

Another off island showing steady and consistent growth is Rigaud due to the \u201clow taxes and affordable homes,\u201d said Poirier. <\/p>\n

And while it has not been a significant factor for new would be off island homeowners, Poirier told The Suburban<\/i> that due to all of the recent growth in population, traffic is increasing \u201cand that is causing some trepidation but there is traffic everywhere and most people accept that.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cVaudreuil-Soulanges is still the star of real estate with a 41 percent increase in sales from September 2013,\u201d said Daniel Arsenault, agent for Royal Lepage Village based in Pointe Claire. For the West Island market, \u201chigher priced homes have a little weaker demand and buyers are very aware that older homes tend to need more work regarding insulation needs and higher utility costs,\u201d Arsenault told The Suburban.<\/i><\/p>\n

Would be homeowners are also increasingly more aware of carrying costs for heating in winter and \u201cadapting from oil furnaces to more electrical.\u201d Affordable homes close to a highways or public transportation depots will also be in high demand for buyers. <\/p>\n

Both Poirier and Arsenault have noticed that home sales have increased since the Liberal provincial election victory last April. During the PQ tenure, both agents found sales had dropped off as many would be buyers took a wait and see approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
