What it changes for buying or selling
The two cities do not sell the same thing at the same price, and the table says it in four lines: the house, the condo, the days on market, the inventory. In Trois-Rivières, the budget goes further; in Quebec City, it buys a different stock, often newer or better located, and the market is more contested there, with less time to decide. For a hesitating buyer, the rule is to visit both at the same budget: at $410,000, you get the median house in Trois-Rivières and a house below the median in Quebec City. For a seller, the matchup places their price against the city where their buyers are also looking. Each city's ten years, year by year: home prices in Trois-Rivières and home prices in Quebec City.
How to read these figures
Every line comes from the same Centris (Matrix) series as our city pages: median sale price and sales of single-family houses and condominiums by year (September 16, 2026 query), median days on market (September 29 query), new listings and inventory (September 30), sold-to-asking ratio (September 30), expired listings (October 1), whole municipalities; 2026 counts January to September. The monthly payment assumes 20% down, 25 years and the 2026 average contracted rate (4.14%), before taxes and insurance. The condo is shown only if the city has at least 20 sales in 2026. Months of inventory divide active listings by the month's sales; under 4, a seller's market, above 6, a buyer's market.
