Who the bungalow is for in Quebec City
In Quebec City, bungalows and two-storey homes share the market almost equally (55% single-storey over ten years). The choice comes down to stairs, lot and budget: the second-floor premium (+13%) is the price of one more bedroom, not of a different neighbourhood.
How to read these numbers
One median per year and per type of house, from closed sales on Centris: single-storey on one side, two-storey on the other, for all of Quebec City. Years with few sales move more; read the trend. The bungalow share of sales says what the city has in stock, not what buyers prefer: only what exists gets sold. A broker evaluation settles it for one specific house.
