Sector · Saint-Lambert
Tree-lined streets, a pedestrian village, the train and the Victoria Bridge: Saint-Lambert is a demanding micro-market. We know it, and here are its numbers.
Saint-Lambert is one of the most singular markets on the South Shore: a walkable village with its shops and cafés, century-old tree-lined streets, an exo train station minutes from downtown Montreal, and the river as a neighbour. That character creates a demanding market, where price gaps between two comparable streets surprise anyone who does not trade there regularly. Saint-Lambert shares APCIQ sector 42 with Brossard. In the second quarter of 2026, the single-family median stood at $803,000 (+2% over the quarter, +7% over 12 months), with 486 sales, 866 active listings (+11%), 41 days on market and a 26% rise over five years. The Loaa and Manseur team, number 1 team at RE/MAX Platine in 2024 and 2025, serves Saint-Lambert from its Brossard offices, minutes away.
In Saint-Lambert, the year of construction, original character and walking distance to the village weigh more heavily than anywhere else on the South Shore. Two houses similar on paper can sell at very different prices depending on the street. It is the type of market where automated valuations are most wrong, and where closed comparables chosen by an active broker make all the difference.
According to APCIQ statistics for July 2026 for the whole South Shore of Montreal, the single-family home sells at a median of $643,000 (+2% year over year) in 34 days on average, and the condominium at $410,650. Saint-Lambert trades above that median in its sought-after sectors: the character, the desirable schools and the train station create demand that exceeds supply most months. Well-prepared properties attract offers quickly, sometimes in multiple offers.
Saint-Lambert shares sector 42 of the APCIQ barometer with Brossard. Its second quarter of 2026, produced from the Centris system, for single-family homes: median price $803,000 (+2% over the quarter, +7% over 12 months); 486 sales; 866 active listings (+11%); 41 days on market; a 26% rise over five years. Forty-one days, and 866 properties in inventory: sector 42 is the slowest on the South Shore and the one that offers buyers the most choice. It is also the one that has grown the least over five years, at 26%, against 42% in the southwest and 49% around Sainte-Julie. For a Saint-Lambert seller, that context imposes precise discipline: with 866 active listings, your property is never the buyer's only option. The entry price, the preparation and the photos decide the first week, and the first week decides the rest.
| APCIQ sector | Median price | Days | 5 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brossard / Saint-Lambert | $803,000 | 41 | +26% |
| Boucherville / Saint-Bruno | $800,000 | 20 | +38% |
| Candiac / La Prairie | $820,000 | 39 | +33% |
| Vieux-Longueuil | $623,000 | 21 | +36% |
The line to remember is the second. Boucherville and Saint-Bruno post a median of $800,000, $3,000 below sector 42, and sell in 20 days against 41. Twice as fast, at the same price: the clearest demonstration that a market's speed depends not on its price level but on the amount of inventory waiting across the table.
Selling: a free valuation based on the sector's closed sales, professional marketing (photos, showings, Centris distribution) and negotiation. Buying: custom alerts before the general public, quick showings, an offer strategy backed by comparables, including in multiple offers. Free tools: our pre-approval guide, the welcome tax and the FHSA.
Victoria Avenue and its shops, the exo station minutes from downtown, the Voie maritime park, the schools that make entire families move: Saint-Lambert's value drivers are precise and durable. Selling a property of character? Home staging and careful marketing pay more here than elsewhere: Saint-Lambert buyers buy an atmosphere as much as a house.
Because the market values fine attributes: walking distance to the village, original character, the street itself and proximity to the station. Two properties comparable on paper can sell at very different prices. Only recent closed comparables, chosen street by street by a broker active in the sector, give a reliable valuation.
The South Shore single-family median was $643,000 in July 2026 according to the APCIQ, and sector 42 (Brossard and Saint-Lambert) posted a $803,000 median in the second quarter. Your property's precise value depends on your street and its character: the team offers a free valuation on closed comparables.
