Buying · Condominium · 39 cities · September 19, 2026
Nobody publishes condo fees by city. Here they are, drawn from the 7,047 condominiums sold over 12 months, with the breakdown by building age.
As of September 19, 2026, across 7,047 condominium sales read on Centris between September 16, 2025 and September 16, 2026, median condo fees are $270 a month in the 39 cities where volume supports a reliable median. That represents 0.88% of the sale price per year. The range runs from $1,027 in Westmount to $163 in Saguenay. By building age the curve is U-shaped: $327 for 1979 and earlier, $264 for 1980-1999 and $298 for 2020 onward. Source: Centris (Matrix), condominium sales closed between September 16, 2025 and September 16, 2026, monthly condo fees as declared on each listing, up to 300 sales per city, compiled September 19, 2026, aggregates only.
Across 7,047 condominiums sold over 12 months, median fees are $270 a month, or $3,240 a year. Against a median sale price of $384,000, that works out to 0.88% of the price per year. That is the benchmark worth remembering: it compares across cities and across buildings, whereas a raw amount says nothing without context.
One caution on reading that figure too quickly. It is a point of comparison, not a rule to apply. A building at 0.88% is not automatically "fine" and one at 1.5% is not automatically "too expensive": it depends entirely on what the fees include and on the state of the contingency fund.
| Year built | Cities | Monthly fees (median of cities) | Median sale price | Days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1979 and earlier | 12 | $327 | $306,225 | 29 |
| 1980-1999 | 31 | $264 | $335,000 | 23.5 |
| 2000-2009 | 32 | $265 | $378,750 | 24.5 |
| 2010-2019 | 34 | $266 | $418,750 | 20 |
| 2020 onward | 17 | $298 | $550,000 | 34 |

Median of city medians, so that a large city does not weigh more than a small one.
This is the most useful result of the series. Buildings from 1979 and earlier run $327 a month and those from 2020 onward $298, while everything in between, 1980 to 2019, holds between $264 and $266. Both ends are expensive for opposite reasons. In older buildings the major repairs are arriving and the fund has to absorb them. In new ones the contingency fund is finally built properly from day one, and the amenities (gym, pool, concierge) cost money to run.
Selling time follows the same curve: 34 days for buildings from 2020 onward, 29 days for pre-1980 ones, against 20 days for those from the 2010s. Both ends are also the slowest to sell.

Cities with fewer than 60 sales over 12 months are not published: a median fee drawn from a handful of listings means nothing. 13 cities fall into that category.
This surprises everyone. Median fees go from $275 for a one-bedroom to $275 for a two-bedroom and $270 for a three-bedroom. Three almost identical amounts. Meanwhile the median sale price climbs from $300,000 to $462,750.
The conclusion is direct: the building sets your fees, not the size of your unit. A large condo in a building with no amenities often costs less per month than a studio in a tower with a pool, a gym and a concierge. When you compare two condos, compare the two buildings first.
This is the costliest trap in buying a condo. Unusually low fees in a thirty-year-old building almost always signal an underfunded contingency fund. The repair money was never set aside, and it comes back as a special assessment, in one payment. Under Quebec's Bill 16, the contingency fund study is mandatory and must be reviewed every five years. Ask for it, along with the maintenance logbook and the minutes of the last three general meetings. A syndicate that cannot produce them has already answered you.
Condominium listings switched to sold status on Centris (Matrix) between September 16, 2025 and September 16, 2026, up to 300 sales per city, read in address order. For each listing: sale price, declared monthly condo fees, days on market, year built, bedrooms and rooms. Each city median is calculated on its own listings; the province-wide aggregates are medians of city medians, so that a large city does not weigh more than a small one. Cities with fewer than 60 sales are not published, nor are subgroups with fewer than 8 sales. Declared fees are those in force at the time of sale: a special assessment voted afterwards does not appear. Only aggregates are published, never an individual listing.
$270 a month at the median across 7,047 sales over 12 months, which is 0.88% of the sale price per year. But the spread between cities is wide, from $163 to $1,027, and the age of the building matters more than the city.
Two reasons. First, the contingency fund is now built properly from the start, which costs more immediately but avoids special assessments later. Second, recent buildings offer more amenities, and a gym or a pool costs money to run. Buildings from 2020 onward run $298 a month against $264 for those from the 1980s and 1990s.
Often the opposite. In an ageing building, low fees mean the contingency fund was never funded. The repair bill arrives as a special assessment. Ask for the contingency fund study, mandatory under Bill 16, before making an offer.
Barely. Median fees go from $275 for a one-bedroom to $270 for a three-bedroom, while the price goes from $300,000 to $462,750. It is the building and its amenities that set the amount, not the square footage of your unit.
