What buyers look for in Orford

Orford means Mont-Orford National Park, the ski resort, golf courses and Orford Musique, which celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2026, less than 10 minutes from Magog and a little over 1 h 30 from Montreal. Many buyers are looking for a second home: in the 2021 census, 2,244 of Orford’s 3,099 private dwellings were occupied by usual residents. The others are not lived in year-round, which includes cottages and second homes.

• Condos near the ski resort and golf courses: buyers check real slope access, condo fees, the contingency fund and rental rules.
• Cottages in the woods and private domains: privacy, trees, a fireplace or wood stove, winter access.
• Contemporary homes on the slopes: views of Mont Orford, light, build quality.
• Properties near the lakes and the Cherry River: water nearby, trails, the Montagnarde bike path.

For a second-home buyer, you sell a lifestyle as much as a property: seasons, activities and driving time all count. More about the area: Living in Orford.

Before you sell: documents to gather

• The certificate of location, up to date and matching the current state of the property.
• Municipal and school tax bills, and invoices for work done.
• For a condo: the declaration of co-ownership, minutes, budget and contingency fund study.
• If the property is a short-term rental: income and expenses, the tourist accommodation registration number, and confirmation that the use is allowed by zoning and, if applicable, by the declaration of co-ownership. Investor buyers ask for this at the first visit.
• Outside municipal services: information on the well and the septic system.
