Number of sales · 50 cities · Centris 2016-2026

One page per city, same definitions, same source: the number of houses, condos and plexes sold per year since 2016, the record year, the high-rate trough and what today's volume changes when selling.

Across the 50 cities tracked, 74,796 sales closed on Centris in 2025, all types combined, against 57,114 in 2016 (+31%). Houses alone: 31,220 in 2016, 33,699 in 2025 (+8%), while their median price gained 119% at the median of cities. Condos went from 34% to 44% of sales. Record year: 2021; the median decline from each city's peak is 16%. The biggest markets: Montreal (24,577 sales), Quebec City (6,669 sales), Laval (5,221 sales); the strongest increases since 2016: Drummondville (+87%), Lévis (+62%), Sorel-Tracy (+53%). Source: Centris (Matrix), compiled September 30, 2026.

The 50 cities, from the biggest market to the smallest in 2025

Closed sales on Centris: single-family houses in 2016 and 2025 and their change, condos in 2025, 2025 total all types (house, condo, plex), record year for houses, then houses sold in 2026 (Jan. to mid-Sep.). "n/a": too few condos sold for a year-by-year reading.

What the table says

The Quebec market doubled in dollars, not in transactions: across the 50 cities, the number of houses sold moved only +8% between 2016 and 2025, while the median price gained 119% at the median of cities. Growth in volume came from condos, +70% in ten years, up from 34% to 44% of sales. The 2020-2021 frenzy set the record (2021 overall, 2020 for houses) in 34 of 50 cities; the rate hikes dug the 2022-2024 trough in 39 cities; 2025 climbed back without reaching the peak, a median 16% below it. Volume is higher than in 2016 in 33 of 50 cities, with the strongest increases in Drummondville (+87%), Lévis (+62%), Sorel-Tracy (+53%) and the sharpest declines in Pointe-Claire (-15%), Val-d'Or (-15%), L'Île-Perrot (-21%), the West Island suburbs where almost nothing is built anymore. 2026 (Jan. to mid-Sep.) is running at 32,548 houses at an annual pace, -3% compared with 2025.

How to read the table

A sale is counted once, on the date of the accepted offer that led to a sale, as entered on Centris by brokers; sales without a broker are not included, so land registry totals are higher. The categories are those of Centris: Single-family, Condominium, Plex; land, cottages outside the categories and commercial properties are excluded. 2026 stops on September 16: the annual pace is a rule of three, not a forecast. Each city page details the ten years, the three categories, the median house price next to volume, the record year and the trough, and what volume changes for a seller.

Method

All series come from the Statistics module of Centris (Matrix), queried on September 16, 2026 with the same parameters for the 50 cities: Single-family, then Condominium, then Plex category, whole municipality (boroughs or sectors combined for Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, Longueuil, Gatineau, Lévis, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Terrebonne, Repentigny), number of sales and median sale price by year over ten years. Condos are discussed when the city counts at least 100 sales in ten years, plexes from 50. Only aggregates are published. The same cities have their home prices, days on market and buyer's or seller's market pages.

Frequently asked questions

Why did prices double if the number of sales did not move?

Because price is set by what is for sale, not by what sells. The number of houses on offer has shrunk since 2016: owners with a low rate and a paid-off house stay put, and new construction does not keep up. With as many buyers for fewer houses, each sale closes higher, but there are no more sales, because there are no more houses. Condos, which are still being built, are the only category whose volume really grew.
