Condominium category, whole municipality of Gatineau, past 12 months (October 2025 to September 2026), Centris (Matrix), harvested on the night of October 13 to 14, 2026. Labelled assumption: the original price is the listing's first asking price, the asking price the last one before the sale; the gap between the two ratios measures the cut to the listed price before the sale, not the final negotiation. Bracket published from 5 sales with both ratios known; dollars = gap applied to the middle of the range, an approximation.

What price cuts by bracket say in Gatineau
- Brackets where the original price and the last asking price coincide (less than half a point): $500,000 to $800,000. There, condos sell at their first listed price, or above it in multiple offers.
- The best-selling bracket, $300,000 to $500,000 (257 sales, 48% of the total), shows 0.7 point of cut before the sale; the most adjusted fine range (at least 5 sales) is $100,000 to $150,000, 2.0 points ($2,500 on the middle of the range). The best-selling range is $250,000 to $300,000.
- Across the 41 cities tracked, condos sell at 97.7% of the original price and 98.3% of the last asking price in median: 0.7 point of listed price cut before the sale, about $2,896; by bracket, Under $300K 1.0 point; $300K to $500K 0.6 point; $500K to $800K 0.8 point; $800K to $1M 1.2 point; $1M and up 1.0 point. The most adjusted bracket is most often under $300,000 (16 cities), the least adjusted $300,000 to $500,000 (21 cities); the top of the market adjusts more than the bottom in 6 cities out of 41; at least one bracket exceeds 3 points in 7 cities.
What it changes for selling or buying a condo in Gatineau
In Gatineau, listed price cuts follow the bracket in the expected order: Under $300K 1.0 point, $300K to $500K 0.7 point, $500K to $800K 0.0 point. The least adjusted bracket ($500,000 to $800,000) is where buyers are plentiful and the first price holds; the most adjusted (under $300,000) is where sellers overestimated more often and corrected along the way. For a seller, the bracket's gap says how much margin for error there is on the starting price; for a buyer, it says where an offer below asking has a chance, and where a condo listed for weeks has probably already cut. The final negotiation, sold against last asking price by bracket, is detailed in condo negotiation by price range in Gatineau; days on market by bracket, in condo days on market by price in Gatineau. The same measure for houses in Gatineau is in house price cuts by price range in Gatineau: 0.7 point all sales, against 0.8 point for condos.
How to read these figures
Two Centris (Matrix) queries per city, same settings: Condominium category, past-12-months period, grouping by sale price, number of sales by range, and two measures: "Sale price vs original price (ratio)" and "Sale price vs asking price (ratio)", whole municipality of Gatineau, harvested on the night of October 13 to 14, 2026. Labelled assumption: the original price is the listing's first asking price, the asking price the last one before the sale; the gap between the two ratios measures the cut to the listed price before the sale, not the final negotiation. Centris ranges are grouped into five brackets; the bracket's ratio is the average of the published ranges' ratios, weighted by their sales. A range is published only with at least 5 sales and both ratios known; the dollar cut is the gap applied to the middle of the sale price range, an approximation, not published for $1M and up.
Frequently asked questions
How much do condo sellers cut their price in Gatineau?
By 0.8 point on average all sales in Gatineau over the past 12 months (October 2025 to September 2026), or about $2,580 on a condo in the middle of the ranges sold: sold at 96.6% of the original price against 97.4% of the last asking price. By bracket, from 0.0 point ($500,000 to $800,000) to 1.0 point (under $300,000).
In which price bracket do sellers adjust the most in Gatineau?
under $300,000: 1.0 point between the original price and the last asking price, about $2,525, on 253 sales. Across the 41 cities tracked, the most adjusted bracket is most often under $300,000.
Why two ratios, original price and asking price?
Because they do not measure the same thing. The ratio on the asking price (97.4% in Gatineau) compares the sale with the last listed price: that is the final negotiation. The ratio on the original price (96.6%) goes back to the first listed price: it adds the cuts made during the listing. Labelled assumption: the original price is the listing's first asking price, the asking price the last one before the sale; the gap between the two ratios measures the cut to the listed price before the sale, not the final negotiation.
How to avoid cutting the price after listing?
Set the first price on closed sales of the past months for comparable condos (same building or same area, same floor and parking), not on active listings nor on the municipal assessment; and, if showings do not come within the bracket's median days on market, correct early rather than through small successive cuts, each visible in the history. The under $300,000 bracket in Gatineau is where the first price was most often too high.
