Guide · Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu · the South Shore's southern gateway
The South Shore's gateway, a dipping median and a $350,000 condo: in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, the right broker reads the sales mix, not the headline. Here is how to recognize them.
The best real estate broker in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu is the one who explains a 6 % dip in a city that rose 44 % in five years: a $509,000 median house in the second quarter of 2026, 31 days, 98 houses active, a seller's market under $770,000 and balanced above (9.9 months of inventory); a condo at $350,000 in 27 days, the South Shore's cheapest. The dip comes from the sales mix (more small houses sold to first-time buyers), not from a drop in the same bungalow. You recognize them by their closed sales in Vieux-Saint-Jean, Saint-Luc, Iberville or L'Acadie, their detailed public reviews, their licence verified with the OACIQ and a written pricing method. The Loaa & Manseur team, number 1 team at RE/MAX Platine in 2024 and 2025, 15th RE/MAX team in Canada and in the global top 50 of the official 2026 ranking, with 221 Google reviews at 4.9, publishes the South Shore's figures every month.
Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu (QPAREB sectors 50 and 51, with Saint-Luc and L'Acadie) sold its median house for $509,000 in the second quarter of 2026, -6 % year over year after +44 % in five years, in 31 days, with 98 active listings. The market belongs to the seller under $770,000 (2 to 6.2 months of inventory) and is balanced above (9.9 months). The condo ($350,000, 27 days) is the South Shore's cheapest. The annual dip is a composition effect: Saint-Jean is the South Shore's gateway (35 kilometres from the Champlain bridge via the 35 and the 10) and attracts first-time buyers, who buy the cheapest homes. For a seller, the price is set on the street's closed sales; for a buyer, it is the market where the budget goes furthest.

The Loaa & Manseur team, led by Lotfi Manseur and Loaa Al Daow, is the number 1 team at RE/MAX Platine in 2024 and 2025, 6th RE/MAX team in Quebec, 15th in Canada and in the global top 50 of large residential teams according to the official RE/MAX ranking, computed on actual transactions. Its Google profile counts 221 reviews with a 4.9 rating. Its offices are at 55 avenue de l'Équinoxe in Brossard, one bridge from the island, and every broker's licence can be checked in the OACIQ public register. Three things to verify yourself before calling us, and to demand of any other broker.
The price is set on the closed sales of your Saint-Jean street in the last 60 days, never on the South Shore median ($648,500, $140,000 higher). Every listing gets its dedicated page in English and French, with professional photos and video, on top of Centris. And we publish the South Shore's monthly report, which means we know what we are talking about before your first meeting. Our guide living in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu shows the level of detail we put into each sector.
The one whose recent sales in your sector, public reviews and OACIQ licence you can verify. The Loaa & Manseur team is the number 1 team at RE/MAX Platine in 2024 and 2025, 15th in Canada and in the global top 50 in the 2026 RE/MAX ranking, with 221 Google reviews at 4.9; these are public figures, not an opinion.
Because the sales mix changed: more small houses bought by first-time buyers, fewer large ones. In five years, the city rose 44 %. The same bungalow is not worth 6 % less than a year ago; your street's price is read on its closed sales.
31 days in median in the second quarter of 2026, 27 days for a condo, the South Shore's fastest. A house priced at its street's level goes in a month; above $770,000, the market is balanced and the delay lengthens.
Compensation is negotiated in the brokerage contract and is not set by law. A good broker presents it with the marketing plan and shows you what it buys. See our fees.
