Brossard combines established residential areas, newer development, Quartier DIX30 and three REM stations. But daily life can change considerably depending on the address. Here is what to check before buying.
The inspection reveals several problems. The buyers are concerned. They ask for a $30,000 price reduction. The seller refuses. Can they simply walk away? In Simoneau v. Bisson, the buyers did. The Quebec Superior Court later concluded that they had not proven that the conditions allowing them to withdraw had been satisfied. The result in that case: $87,000 in damages. Not because an inspection problem automatically creates that kind of liability. Not because there is a hidden $87,000 penalty in Clause 8.1. But because there is an enormous difference between being concerned by an inspection report and being legally entitled to withdraw from a binding promise to purchase.
Quebec's real estate market is slowing without experiencing a widespread decline in prices. Inventory, interest rates, houses, condos and new co-ownership rules are changing how buyers and sellers should approach the market in 2026.
