How much your neighbors pay on their mortgage

Enter your Quebec postal code — see the median monthly payment from the last 12 months of transactions in your area. 264 areas covered in V1 (sources: CMHC, JLR, Centris).

Provincial fallback median (outside covered FSAs): $1,950 / month.

How we compute this

We use the median sale price over the last 12 months for this area (sources: CMHC, JLR, Centris), assume a 15% down payment (CMHC QC median buyer), 25-year amortization, and a 5-year fixed posted rate of 4.89%. It’s a statistical benchmark — not a property appraisal, not a credit decision.

No input is stored. Neighborhood statistical medians — not a property appraisal nor a personalized rate.

What’s next?

The gap is only part of the story — your actual contractual rate depends on your file (income, credit, down payment). An AMF-licensed broker from the Courteo network can compare 25-40 lenders in parallel, whereas your bank only compares one (theirs). That’s where real savings come from. No obligation, no cost to you.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the numbers come from?
Three public sources: CMHC (monthly market reports), JLR (quarterly QC median price reports), and Centris (12-month transactional statistics by area). We keep a static snapshot to avoid depending on a third-party API — re-snapshot planned each quarter.
Why a 15% down payment assumption?
Because that’s the observed median for Quebec buyers (CMHC 2025). It’s a calculation assumption to surface a benchmark — your actual situation may be 5%, 10%, 20% or more. The result is intentionally indicative.
Why a 4.89% rate?
It’s the 5-year fixed posted rate of the Big 6 at snapshot time (ADR-0014). Broker-negotiated contractual rates are typically 50-100 bps below — which explains the gap if you pay less than the median.
Do you keep my postal code?
No. The computation runs entirely in your browser — no network request, no cookie, no storage on the Courteo side. You can close the tab, nothing remains.
Is this a property appraisal?
No. It’s a statistical neighborhood median, not a property appraisal and not a credit decision. For an official appraisal, you need a certified appraiser (OEAQ in Quebec).
