What drives demand in Austin
Demand in Austin is mostly tied to vacationing around Lake Memphrémagog and to proximity to Magog and Mont Orford. The housing stock consists mainly of houses, cottages and rural properties rather than rental buildings. Short-term rentals are regulated and must be checked before purchase. A case-by-case analysis remains necessary.
How I analyze a building
Gross rent multiplier (GRM)
The asking price compared to the building's income, and to similar sales in the area.
Comparable sales
Buildings recently sold in and around Austin, adjusted for condition and number of units.
Price per square foot
Useful for commercial properties and for comparing buildings of different sizes.
Municipal assessment
The ratio between the sale price and the municipal assessment, to help position an offer.
My favourite spot in Austin
Abbaye de Saint-Benoît-du-Lac
Religious heritage
The Benedictine abbey, surrounded by its cheese factory and its lands, has formed a small separate municipality since 1939, detached from Austin. A walking trail starts at Reginald-Aubrey-Fessenden Park in Austin and leads to the abbey along the lake.
