- Years when the waterfront house sold for less than the median house: 2019, 2023, 2024. 12 of the 34 regions and cities tracked saw it at least once: waterfront also means the three-season cottage and the small riverside house, not only the prestige property.
- The waterfront is rare in Saint-Jérôme: 2.1% of single-family homes sold since 2018 (134 of 6,444). A median on so few sales moves a lot from one year to the next: read the trend, not a single year's figure.

Is the waterfront worth paying for in Saint-Jérôme?
In Saint-Jérôme, the waterfront costs $25,000 (+5%), not much. It means waterfront houses look like the others: same age, same size, and sometimes more modest shores (stream, narrow river, pond). The buyer who wants the water pays almost the same house; the seller with a real lakefront must bring out what the median does not see.
How to read these figures
Waterfront means the Centris listing of the sold house declares a body of water bordering the lot (lake, river, the St. Lawrence, pond, canal, sea, reservoir or stream), whatever its size: a stream counts as much as a lake. Houses with water access but no frontage, or with a view only, are not counted. The median price is the middle price: half the sales above, half below. The field has existed in listings only since 2018: the series starts there. 2026 stops in September.
