What ten years of sales say in Gatineau
- The large condo rose fastest in Gatineau: +101% for 3 or more bedrooms, against +83% for 1 bedroom, +92% for 2 bedrooms. That is the case in 31 of 42 cities: families who want to stay in a condo compete for a rare product.
- The third-bedroom premium is stable: +0% in 2016, +4% in 2026 ($13,000 between the two medians).
- The 3-plus-bedroom condo cost more than the 2-bedroom every year since 2016: in Gatineau, the third bedroom belongs to townhouses and large recent apartments, not to old buildings.
- The 2-bedroom condo is losing ground in sales: 75% of condos sold in 2016, 65% in 2026. 35 of 42 cities follow the same slope: recent projects deliver more studios and 1-bedrooms on one side, large units on the other.
- 2019 to 2022, the three rock-bottom-rate years: 1 bedroom +76%, 2 bedrooms +78%, 3 or more bedrooms +91%.
- 2026 (January to September) versus 2025: 1 bedroom -3.3% ($240,000 to $232,000), 2 bedrooms -3.4% ($319,000 to $308,000), 3 or more bedrooms -5.3% ($339,000 to $321,000).
- Annual peaks: 1 bedroom $240,000 in 2025, 2 bedrooms $319,000 in 2025, 3 or more bedrooms $339,000 in 2025. The 2-bedroom condo fell in 2023, 2026.
Is the third bedroom worth paying for in Gatineau?
In Gatineau, the third bedroom costs little: $13,000 (+4%). That means a good share of 3-bedroom condos are older units or townhouses, cheaper per square foot than recent 2-bedrooms. The buyer who needs the room pays almost nothing extra; the seller who thinks the third bedroom is worth a fortune has the wrong city. The second bedroom costs $76,000 (+33%), on 124 1-bedroom sales from January to September 2026.
How to read these numbers
The bedroom count is the one on the Centris listing of each condo sold; "3 or more" groups 3, 4 and more bedrooms, and studios (0 bedrooms) are not counted. The median price is the middle price: half the sales above, half below. 2026 covers January to September. The third-bedroom premium compares two medians of the same year: it includes everything that usually comes with an extra bedroom in a condo (floor area, age of the building, parking), not only the room. For your unit, a broker evaluation starts from the building, not the category.
