The bungalow is not the small house that gains less value: in 31 of 51 cities it rose faster than the two-storey home, and the second-floor premium fell from 26% to 24% in ten years. Two reasons: almost no single-storey homes are built any more (land is too expensive for a house on one level), and two audiences compete for them, retirees fleeing stairs and first-time buyers looking for a lot. The largest second-floor premiums are in Blainville (56%), Dollard-des-Ormeaux (53%), Candiac (51%); in Sainte-Thérèse (0%), Rouyn-Noranda (-4%), Sept-Îles (-7%), the second floor no longer commands a premium, or sells for less than the bungalow. The most expensive bungalows: Saint-Lambert ($895,000), Beaconsfield ($799,000), Rosemère ($765,000); the least expensive: Saguenay ($370,000), Victoriaville ($360,000), Sept-Îles ($345,000). In 28 cities, the bungalow share of sales has fallen since 2016: the stock is ageing and being kept.
The second-floor premium compares two medians of the same year in the same city: it blends the effect of floor area and of the age of the homes. A 40% premium says the city's two-storey homes are large and recent; a 0% premium says the single-storey home is rare or sought after there. The bungalow share describes the city's housing stock, not buyers' preferences. Each city page details the ten years, the premium year by year and who the bungalow is for locally.
Every series comes from the Statistics module of Centris (Matrix), queried on September 28, 2026 with the same settings for all 51 cities: Single-family category, property type "Single-storey" then "Two or more storey", whole municipality (boroughs or sectors grouped for Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, Longueuil, Gatineau, Lévis, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Terrebonne, Repentigny), median sale price and number of sales by year over ten years. Split-levels, one-and-a-half-storey and mobile homes are not counted. Westmount is left out (almost no single-storey sales). Only aggregates are published. The same cities have their page on all-types prices, the value of a pool and a garage and buyer's or seller's market.
Because they are becoming rare: developers build two-storey homes to make increasingly expensive lots pay, and existing bungalows rarely change hands. When supply shrinks and two audiences want it, the price follows. Where the second-floor premium stays high, it is because two-storey homes are much larger or much newer than the single-storey stock.
