Photo: Archives de la Ville de Montréal - VM166-R3209-2-022. · Public domainOwners in Snowdon value their homes at 2.2 times the median of Quebec’s towns
That is a median of $650,000 at the 2021 census, set beside $300,000 for Quebec’s towns. No open sale prices are published in Quebec, so for Snowdon the census value is the measure. Québec’s 2026 property roll puts single-family homes at a median $676,100, at market values of July 1, 2024. Snowdon doesn’t get its own property-roll values and building permits figures; the ones here come from the city of Montréal.
Snowdon’s homes, by two sources
Every figure here is compared within the province, against Quebec’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. What owners reported in May 2021 is an opinion of value; interest rates and prices have both moved since.
