One in three Quebec renters considered buying before signing their lease
As July 1st approaches—a key moving date in Quebec—a clear trend is emerging: more renters are seriously thinking about homeownership.
A recent survey shows that 31% of Quebec renters thought about buying a property before renewing their lease, the highest rate in Canada. Still, many feel stuck due to rising costs or uncertainty about affordability.
At Équipe Sirois Simard, we believe a clear plan and the right guidance can turn hesitation into opportunity.
What this data reveals
- Over half of Quebec renters hope to own a home one day
- Many are held back by finances or the belief that ownership is out of reach
- Yet, a majority spend 30% or less of their income on rent
