Is the waterfront worth paying for in Sorel-Tracy?
In Sorel-Tracy, the waterfront is a different product: $304,000 more at the median (+79%). At that price you are not buying a view, you are buying a category of house: larger, newer, on a wider lot, often with a dock and landscaping.

How to read these figures
Two series drawn from the same Centris database with the same settings for all of Sorel-Tracy: single-family category, closed sales, median sale price per year, with and without the criterion bordered by a body of water (lake, river, the St. Lawrence, pond, canal, sea, reservoir or stream). The second series includes the first: the premium compares waterfront to all houses, not to non-waterfront. The field is declared by the listing broker on each listing and has been filled in only since 2018. 2026 = January to September.
