Settling in Laval
Is Laval right for you?
With fourteen sectors, Laval offers great variety, but prices and atmosphere vary a lot from one sector to another. Check the actual commute time to your workplace, the proximity of the metro or a train station and, near the rivers, the flood zone and insurance. For a purchase of more than $500,000, also plan for the 3% welcome tax rate on the portion above that amount.

The flood zone according to the updated mapping, the property's flood history, the insurance available and the rules that apply to the shoreline. We verify these points before you make an offer.

As of January to September 2026, the median price of a single-family home across the City of Laval was $634,000, and that of a condo was $430,000. Add the welcome tax, notary fees, the inspection and moving costs, and get pre-approved before you start looking.

Why have a home inspected before buying?
The pre-purchase inspection reveals the condition of the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical system and any signs of moisture. It lets you negotiate or walk away depending on the conditions of your offer to purchase. Be present at the inspection: it is the best way to understand the home you are buying.
