What it changes when selling or buying in Dorval
In Dorval, the gain tracks the province: $388,500 on a 2016 purchase, $100,000 on a 2021 purchase. For a seller, the gain only exists at signing: the listing price is set on the past months' comparable sales, not on the price paid plus a percentage. For a buyer, the lesson of ten years is that the year of purchase matters less than the holding period: even whoever bought at the 2025 peak is still below their price after 1 year. For a principal residence, that gain is tax-free in Canada; for a rental property or a cottage, it is taxable on sale. What your specific house is worth is measured on comparables: home valuation in Dorval.
How to read these figures
Each row compares the median price of single-family houses sold in Dorval in the year of purchase with the median price of 2026 (Jan. to Sep.), Centris (Matrix) data. It is the gain of the median house, not of a specific house: a renovated home gained more, a neglected one less, and the median house of 2016 is not exactly the median house of 2026. "Per year" is the compound rate over the number of years between purchase and 2026, partial year counted as a full one. Selling costs (brokerage, notary, moving) and renovations are not deducted. The full series is in home prices in Dorval.
