Inflation-adjusted prices · 50 cities · 2016-2026
One page per city, same calculation, same sources: the median house price every year since 2016, posted and converted to 2026 dollars with Quebec's consumer price index, the real increase, the years of decline, the peak in purchasing power and the condo alongside.
Across the 50 cities tracked, the median house went from $261,000 in 2016 to $610,000 in 2026 (Jan. to Sept.), +124% in current dollars. Quebec's consumer price index rose 31.5% in the meantime: in 2026 dollars, the median real increase is +70%, or 5.5% a year above inflation against 8.4% posted. Since 2022, posted prices are still rising but purchasing power almost not: +6% in real terms in median; 40 cities out of 50 fell in constant dollars in 2023, 17 are still below their real peak and 11 have lost real value since 2022. The real peak falls in 2026 in 32 cities, in 2022 in 4 and in 2021 in 5. The condo gained +56% in real terms. The strongest real increases: Trois-Rivières (+111%), Magog (+109%), Saint-Jérôme (+96%); the weakest: Rouyn-Noranda (+34%), Westmount (+26%), Sept-Îles (+20%).

The house beat inflation, but by less than people think, and not at all since 2022. Across the 50 cities, the median posted increase since 2016 is +124%; once Quebec's 31.5% inflation is removed, +70% of true gain remains, 5.5% a year. The real increase is concentrated in 2020-2022: the cities' real median went from $388,124 (of 2026) in 2019 to $587,686 in 2022, then the inflation of 2022 and 2023 (6.7% and 4.5%) pushed the house down in constant dollars in 40 cities in 2023, while posted prices held. Since 2022, the median real increase is +6%; 11 cities have lost real value and 17 are still below their real peak. The cities where the house beat inflation the most are those that started low: Trois-Rivières (+111%), Magog (+109%), Saint-Jérôme (+96%); the weakest real increases: Rouyn-Noranda (+34%), Westmount (+26%), Sept-Îles (+20%). The condo, for its part, gained +56% in real terms over ten years.
Each year's price is the median of single-family houses sold in the city (Centris). Quebec's all-items consumer price index (Statistics Canada, table 18-10-0004), annual average, converts each price to 2026 dollars: price × 2026 CPI ÷ year's CPI. The real increase is the increase of that converted price; it is the owner's gain in purchasing power, the one that compares with an investment or with rent. The CPI is provincial: local differences in the cost of living are not taken into account. 2026 is partial on both sides (prices January to September, CPI January to August). Each city page adds the condo, the years of real decline and what inflation ate on the 2016 price.
Prices: Statistics module of Centris (Matrix), September 16, 2026 query, median sale price of single-family houses and condos by year over ten years for the 50 cities (home prices by city). Inflation: Statistics Canada, table 18-10-0004-01, all-items CPI, Quebec, average of the twelve months of each year. Only aggregates are published. The same cities have their appreciation by year bought, mortgage payment and average versus median price pages.
In current dollars, rarely: the posted median of the 50 cities went from $522,942 in 2022 to $610,000 in 2026. In constant dollars, it is tight: +6% in median, and 11 cities below zero. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak kept their nominal capital, but gained almost no purchasing power; what they gained is having fixed their housing cost while rents followed inflation.
