Condo to house · Laval · Centris 2016-2026
How much separates the median condo from the median house in Laval, year by year since 2016, and whether the gain on a condo bought in 2016, 2019, 2021 or 2023 covers the jump. Centris figures, not estimates.
In Laval, a single-family house sells for $630,000 in 2026 (Jan. to Sep.) and a condo for $430,000: the gap to close is $200,000, 1.47 times the price of the condo, one of the shortest jumps among the 40 cities tracked (median 1.56). In 2016 the gap was $83,500 (1.39 times): it did +140% in ten years. But a condo bought in Laval in 2019 at the median price ($240,000) is worth $430,000 today: its $190,000 gain covers 95% of the jump. Source: Centris (Matrix), compiled October 2, 2026.

What ten years of gap say in Laval
- Four eras in Laval: the house was worth 1.44 times the condo in 2016-2019, 1.46 during the 2020-2022 frenzy, 1.43 when high rates returned, 1.46 today. Widest gap: 2026 ($200,000); narrowest: 2016 ($83,500).
- In ten years, the house did +110% and the condo +99%: the house pulled away from the condo, and the dollar gap did +140% ($83,500 to $200,000). The ratio rose in 34 of 40 cities; the dollar gap, in 40.
- The condo caught up with the house in 5 years out of ten: 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2025. Highest ratio: 2019 (1.48); lowest: 2016 (1.39).
- A 2026 condo ($430,000) is worth more than a 2016 house ($300,000): that is the case in 38 of 40 cities. Today's condo owner pays the price of the house of ten years ago.
- The jump by year the condo was bought: bought in 2016, the gain ($213,500) covers 107% of the gap; in 2019, 95%; in 2021, 45%; in 2023, 25%. Median of the 40 cities for 2019: 80%, and 36 cities where it exceeds half.
- Condos make up 43% of sales in Laval in 2026 (27% in 2016), against 32% at the median of cities: a condo city. Condo sales in 2025: 2,027; house sales: 2,839.
What it changes when moving from condo to house in Laval
In Laval, the jump is short: $200,000 separates the condo from the house, 1.47 times the price of the condo, and the gain on a condo bought in 2019 covers 95% of the gap. That is the profile of a city where the condo is a step, not a destination: whoever bought it a few years ago can move to a house with a down payment already made, often without growing their payment as much as they fear. For a condo seller, the typical buyer is a first-time buyer; for a house seller, the typical buyer arrives from a condo with their equity. What your condo is worth today, and therefore what you really have for the jump, is measured on the comparable sales in your building: valuation in Laval.
How to read these figures
Each year compares the median sale price of single-family houses with that of condominiums sold in Laval on Centris, whole municipality. The gap is the difference between the two medians; the ratio, the house median divided by the condo median. The "jump" assumes a condo bought at the year's median price and resold at the median price of 2026 (Jan. to Sep.), before selling costs and mortgage penalty; what is left to finance is the gap minus that gain, not counting the condo's initial down payment, which comes back on top. Only cities with at least 20 condo sales every year are published. House appreciation is in house appreciation in Laval.
