What the ranking says
- The third that rose most (Trois-Rivières, Magog, Saint-Jérôme, Drummondville, Sainte-Thérèse...) is at +134% or more: regional and outer-ring cities that started low, where remote work and Montreal's prices did the rest.
- Percent and dollars do not rank alike: Westmount gained $897,500 with +65%, Trois-Rivières $262,000 with +177%. Expensive cities gain in dollars, affordable ones in percent.
- The 10 cheapest rose 118% in median, the 10 most expensive 105%: the regions' catch-up is the big story of the decade.
- 42 cities out of 50 doubled since 2016; the median of cities went from $261,000 to $610,000.
What it changes for buying or selling
For an owner in a city at the top of the ranking, the gain is made and it is mostly catch-up: your city's price caught up with its more expensive neighbours, and the next decade will not repeat a 177% rise. For a buyer, past gains do not guarantee the future; what matters is today's price against neighbouring cities, and the days on market that say whether demand is still there.
How to read this ranking
Every city in the table has its page in the house appreciation by city series, where the full 2016-2026 series and the method are detailed. Ranks are computed on the 50 cities tracked, not on all of Quebec: a missing city is not unranked, it is not tracked. Values are Centris (Matrix) figures for single-family house sales over January to September 2026; 2016 is the full year. Ties are ordered alphabetically. No new query: only aggregates already published are reordered.
