Inflation-adjusted prices · Sorel-Tracy · 2016-2026
The median condo price in Sorel-Tracy every year since 2016, as posted and converted to 2026 dollars with Quebec's consumer price index: what the condo really gained above inflation, the years of real decline, the peak in purchasing power, and the condo alongside. Public figures, not estimates.
In Sorel-Tracy, the median condo went from $150,000 in 2016 to $400,000 in 2026 (Jan. to Sept.), +167% in current dollars. But a 2016 dollar is worth $1.32 of 2026: Quebec's consumer price index rose 31.5% over the period. In 2026 dollars, the 2016 condo was worth $197,293; the real increase, the one above inflation, is therefore +103%, one of the strongest among the 49 cities tracked (median +56%). Since the 2022 peak, it is another story: +61% in current dollars but +43% in constant dollars, still a real increase. Sources: Centris, Statistics Canada, compiled October 8, 2026.

What it changes for buying or selling in Sorel-Tracy
In Sorel-Tracy, the condo beat inflation by a wide margin: +103% of purchasing power gained in ten years, 7.3% a year above the cost of living. It is the kind of city where waiting cost buyers dearly and where the gain is real, not just nominal. But the pace has broken: +43% in real terms since 2022. For a seller, today's price is a true peak of purchasing power, not an illusion of inflation; for a buyer, the real increase of the past few years is small, and the price is argued on recent sales, not on the ten-year curve. The monthly payment the condo takes today is in condo mortgage payment in Sorel-Tracy; the rent alongside, in rent or buy a condo in Sorel-Tracy.
How to read these figures
Two public series: the annual median of condos sold in Sorel-Tracy (condo prices in Sorel-Tracy) and the Quebec CPI, annual average. Adjusting for inflation does not change the order of the years, but it changes the slopes: a year where the price rises 3% while the CPI rises 4.5% is a year of real decline, even if the posted curve goes up. 2022 and 2023 had the strongest inflation in thirty years (6.7% and 4.5%), which is why almost every city fell in constant dollars in 2023. 2026 is a partial year on both sides.
Frequently asked questions
How much has the condo really risen in Sorel-Tracy since 2016?
+103% in constant dollars ($197,293 of 2026 in 2016 against $400,000 in 2026), for a posted increase of +167%. Quebec inflation was 31.5% over the period.
Is the condo losing real value in Sorel-Tracy since 2022?
No: +43% in constant dollars since 2022, on top of 12.4% inflation. The real peak is 2026.
Why adjust prices for inflation?
Because inflation is the true benchmark. An investment that makes +167% in ten years while the cost of living rises 31.5% returns +103% of purchasing power, or 7.3% a year; that is the figure to compare with a TFSA or with rent, not the posted curve.
