Owners valued the median home at $500,000 in 2021, where the median of Quebec’s towns was $300,000. Census values are owners’ own estimates, taken in May 2021, before the rise in interest rates.

Sainte-Dorothée doesn’t get its own property-roll values and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Laval.
