Living in the city is great, the suburbs are lovely, but sometimes, what you really need is a little bit of the great outdoors in your own backyard. Luckily for you, there are plenty of fixer-uppers and recently renovated chalets sprinkled across the Quebecois countryside within an hour and a half's drive from Montreal that you could invest in today with less than $200,000.
Montreal's housing market may be punishingly expensive, enough that $300,000 can only buy an average of 500 square feet in the city. But outside of Montreal, elsewhere in the province, there are many more opportunities to snag a 1,000+ square foot home for less sometimes much less than 300 big ones.
Here's a chance for the tired city dweller to claim a chunk of beautiful Estrie. Tucked among the region's gentle sloping auburn hills, this Quebec home for sale is currently on the market for $279,000 and comes with a whopping 7.6 acres of land traversed by the rivière Noire.
Well, if you're looking for a new home, an investment property or a new project, there are definitely some steals in Montreal, many of which are for sale for less than $500,000. Although that's still quite costly, finding something for any less is seemingly impossible in today's market. Whether you're on the hunt for a house for yourself, the family or you want a much-needed fixer-upper to snag a sweet profit, these seven homes just might do the trick!
