What it changes for buying or selling in Rouyn-Noranda
In Rouyn-Noranda, the lot weighs little in the price: only a 21% gap between the two classes. Here, the buyer pays for the house and the neighbourhood, not the area: small lots are often the newest or the closest to services, and large lots are on the outskirts or carry older houses. For the seller of a large lot, the argument is the possibility to subdivide or extend, not the area itself; for a buyer, it is the market where a large lot comes without a premium. The price by number of bedrooms is in prices by number of bedrooms in Rouyn-Noranda; what the pool and the garage are worth, in pool, garage and home value in Rouyn-Noranda.
How to read these figures
The area is the one declared in the Centris listing, in square feet. The lot premium compares two medians of the year, without adjusting for the age or size of the houses: a large lot often carries a larger or newer house, and part of the premium is the house's. Years when the premium moves a lot are often changes of mix, not changes of market.
