Waterfront recreational properties in the greater Mont-Tremblant region are still in record demand, thanks to a growing wave of retiring North Americans and cash-rich cottage buyers from the international markets from around the globe!

“The boomers are starting to enjoy the fruits of their labour. It is now their chance to live the dream and they are creating huge demand.” Buyers in the 50-plus age bracket are behind the increased activity in our Mont-Tremblant Real Estate market. Add to that mix the super-successful from international destinations across North America and Europe and we find the appetite for a home away from it all has never been greater. Even with all the uncertain times we have recently experienced.

Today this demand is driven by a better-than-expected Canadian economy. Families now have an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors in a safe, clean and secure environment. And, thanks to our incredible mixture of mountain and lakes (1000’s in our region), the opportunities seem endless. Within minutes of the Tremblant Village you can find places which make you feel like you are literally 100’s of miles away from civilization! And yet, it’s only a short bike-ride to the corner-store!

For those looking to realize the dream they have always had, Mont-Tremblant offers all the ingredients. And, getting to that next step is becoming easier and easier thanks to all the wonderful new communities which are popping-up everywhere. But don’t be fooled. Increased buyer interest is starting to push up prices across the region and this is prompting buyers to consider properties in more remote areas. This is why Mont-Tremblant is so appealing. Being only 90 minutes from Montreal and having its own new Mont-Tremblant INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT the new-found proximity is a definite draw! And, having a world-class resort with its own casino and racetrack at your ‘door-step’ makes this 4-season destination a very appealing option.

The New Trend: The Country Estate

The increase in retiring buyers is also creating more interest in larger homes that can be used at all times of the year. Although many call these homes ‘cottages’, they are more like country-estates. Today many ‘older cottages’ in prime lakefront locations are being torn down and replaced with elaborate year-round homes.

Higher prices are forcing many buyers who want to stay in prime original family-compounds to look at other options, such as condominiums or homes back from the water. This is where the opportunity lies for new buyers. Mont Tremblant is still in a ‘growth-mode’. There are still plenty of great properties in very prime locations, at very affordable prices! But you need to move quickly. It’s definitely worth the visit. Mont-Tremblant has lots to offer. Especially on the water!!
