What it changes for buying or selling a lot in Quebec City
In Quebec City, the median lot is worth $227,500 in 2026, +90% in ten years, in line with the cities tracked, and it weighs 47% of the median house. The rule of thumb: a serviced, ready-to-build lot sells well above the median; farmland or a woodlot, well below. Before building, a buyer compares lot plus construction with the price of recent houses in the area; before selling, an owner has zoning, services and buildability checked, which weigh more than the trend. The whole region is in land prices in the Capitale-Nationale region.
How to read these figures
What this page measures: the price at which the middle lot of the Centris market sells, year by year, and how many sell. What it does not measure: the price per square foot, the median area, the share of serviced lots, or lots sold outside brokerage. Centris's Land category groups residential lots, woodlots and farmland sold through a broker, of every size: the median says where the middle of what sold sits, not the price per square foot. For a construction project, the lot is only one item: servicing, the soil study, the permit and the construction itself are others, and a broker from the team can put the total against the price of new houses in the area.
