At the 2021 census the median home was worth $500,000, where Quebec’s towns sit at $300,000. Sale prices aren’t published in Quebec: what owners told the census is the figure to go on for Lorimier. The town’s assessors, on the 2026 roll, put the median house at $676,100 (market of July 1, 2024). Lorimier doesn’t get its own property-roll values and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Montréal.
