Median price by city in Quebec: 24 cities
The table below shows the headline value published for each market — the median, the preferred indicator in Quebec where no composite HPI is published for most cities. Every row states its reference period: markets do not all publish at the same pace (monthly for large centres, quarterly elsewhere). Ranked from most to least expensive.

How to read these figures
The regional gap is the dominant fact. Between Boucherville ($838,750) and Sept-Îles ($256,000), the median varies by a factor of 3.3. Montreal's suburban ring (Blainville, Boucherville, Sainte-Julie) outprices the metropolis itself on the single-family median — a classic composition effect: those markets sell mostly houses, while Montreal sells many condos, which are not in the single-family median.
The one-year trend. Of the 23 markets with a published annual change, 19 are up and 0 down (4 unchanged). Leading the published gains: Sainte-Julie (+15%), Gaspé (+14%), Blainville (+11%). No tracked market is declining.
A median is not a guaranteed price. It is the midpoint of closed sales: half of transactions close above it, half below. It tells you what the market pays, not what a specific property is worth — for that, there is the certified appraiser and the broker for your sector. And every year the purchase price carries a property tax whose rate varies widely from one city to the next: see the real property tax rate, city by city.
Average house price in Quebec in 2026: the provincial picture
Province-wide, QPAREB recorded 97,214 residential transactions in 2025 (+8% year over year) — its third-best year on record — with a single-family median of $491,500 and a condominium median of $398,000.

Borrowing costs matter too: see our policy-rate dossier for current rates and the Bank of Canada's decision calendar.
Methodology and sources
Where the figures come from. Every median comes from statistics published by QPAREB and Centris (and, for the provincial picture, CREA). For markets outside the large centres, the published figure is sometimes regional rather than municipal — the "scope" column says so explicitly, row by row (for example, Gaspé reflects the Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine region).
Every figure carries its date. Markets publish at different paces: the "period" column gives the exact month or quarter of each figure. This table is regenerated on every update of our market data (last generated: November 5, 2026) — the same source feeds our city pages and our open market-data feed.
Our rule: no invented data. When a source does not publish a value (change, average), the cell shows "—" rather than an estimate. No figure on this page is computed, extrapolated or "adjusted" by Payotte.
