Trois-Rivières Home Buying Guide 2024

Trois-Rivières is Quebec's fourth-largest city, located midway between Montreal and Quebec City on the St. Lawrence River. With a resurgent downtown, affordable prices, and a growing tech and manufacturing economy, Trois-Rivières is increasingly attractive to remote workers and families seeking Quebec affordability.

⚠️ Quebec has NO first-time buyer rebate on droits de mutation.
Unlike Ontario (up to $4,000 rebate) or some other provinces, Quebec offers zero provincial refund on the welcome tax for first-time buyers. Every buyer pays the full amount — plan accordingly.
