What I'm seeing in Limbour right now: most of my buyers are young families or couples upgrading from a condo or smaller first home. They're looking for a recent property, no major renovations needed, with a garage and an open lot. The Ferme Limbour sub-sector is especially sought after — and increasingly, buyers from across the river in Ottawa come here looking for modern construction at a more accessible price than what they'd find in comparable Ottawa neighborhoods.
My advice to Limbour owners thinking about selling: don't underestimate the impact of your sub-sector on your final price. An equivalent home in Ferme Limbour vs. another street in Limbour can mean a $30,000-$50,000 difference. List at the right price for your specific zone, not an average for the whole neighborhood.
