Local potential
What drives demand in Val-David
Rental demand is driven by the village's appeal for people who want to settle in the Laurentians, by tourism tied to climbing, cycling and cultural events, and by the proximity of jobs in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts. The rental stock is modest: a few plexes and small buildings, houses and cottages. Check the applicable zoning with the municipality and obtain the required provincial registration for tourist accommodation before counting on short-term rental income.
