Buying · Cheap houses · 52 cities · September 17, 2026
The same benchmark for 52 cities: the price under which the cheapest quarter of houses actually sold over the last 12 months, the cheapest tenth, the median and the number of sales under $400,000.
As of September 17, 2026, the Quebec cities we track where a house is cheapest are Sept-Îles (cheapest quarter under $216,000), Rouyn-Noranda (cheapest quarter under $296,000), Victoriaville (cheapest quarter under $302,000), Saguenay (cheapest quarter under $305,000), Val-d'Or (cheapest quarter under $307,000); the most expensive, La Prairie ($630,000), Rosemère ($638,000), Dollard-des-Ormeaux ($655,000), Beaconsfield ($707,000), Kirkland ($721,000). The benchmark is the first quartile of single-family sales closed on Centris between September 2025 and September 2026, not an asking price. Each city has its page with sales range by range, the down payment and the payment at the first-quartile price, and the pitfalls of a low-priced house. Source: Centris (Matrix), single-family sales closed between September 2025 and September 2026, compiled September 17, 2026, aggregates only.
For each city: the price under which the cheapest quarter of single-family homes sold over 12 months (first quartile), the price under which the cheapest tenth sold, the median from January to August 2026, the number of sales under $400,000 and the total number of sales over 12 months.

The first quartile says where a city's market really starts, not its average price: in Sept-Îles, one house in four sold under $216,000; in Kirkland, it takes $721,000 to enter the cheapest quarter. In between, Montreal's suburban belts sit within a narrow band, and commute and taxes decide. The number of sales matters too: a quartile computed on 30 sales moves a lot, one on 2,000 sales is solid.
Our other data series, all built from Centris listings:
Each series is recalculated from the past twelve months of actual sales or leases, city by city, aggregates only.
Single-family sales that moved to "sold" status on Centris (Matrix) between September 2025 and September 2026, grouped by price range ($50,000 steps up to $500,000, $100,000 above) and by month; first quartile and first decile interpolated within the range; merged cities taken as a whole (Montreal 19 boroughs, Quebec City 6, Laval 13 sectors, Longueuil 3, Gatineau 5, Lévis 3, Sherbrooke 4, Saguenay 7, Terrebonne 3, Repentigny 2). Only aggregates are published. For the big picture: Quebec real estate statistics and home prices by city.
Among the 52 cities we track, Sept-Îles: the cheapest quarter of houses sold there under $216,000 over 12 months, ahead of Rouyn-Noranda ($296,000) and Victoriaville ($302,000).
The cheapest suburban cities in the table are those where the first quartile falls under $500,000; each city page compares with its neighbours in the same region and gives the monthly payment at the first-quartile price.
The lowest price is an anomaly (a house to demolish, a lot, a sale between relatives); the first quartile is a price at which one house in four actually sells, so a reachable target with a good search.
