Photo: O. Allard · Public domainA home in Saint-Barthélemy is worth 40% less than the middle of Quebec’s towns
That is a median of $180,000 at the 2021 census, set beside $300,000 for Quebec’s towns. The census figure is the owner’s own reckoning of value in May 2021; actual sale prices may differ. No sales are published for towns in Quebec, Saint-Barthélemy included, so owners’ values are the measure. The municipal roll for 2025 values single-family homes at a median $251,250, at July 1, 2023 prices.
