Lévis real estate market in August 2026: $425,000, 32 days and the most active sector in the Quebec City region

Monthly report · Lévis and South Shore of Quebec City · August 2026

Lévis in numbers for August 2026 from official APCIQ statistics: sales, prices, days on market, supply, the city's three sectors, and what it changes if you are selling or buying.

In August 2026 the South Shore of Quebec City, meaning Lévis and its surroundings (Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon, Beaumont, Saint-Henri, Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly, Saint-Apollinaire), was the region's most active sector: 166 residential sales (+21 % year over year) including 120 single-family homes (+14 %), for 446 active listings (+11 %). Single-family homes sold for $425,000 (-1 %) in 32 days, $25,000 below the regional median ($450,000) and $34,500 below the Quebec City agglomeration. In Q2 all three Lévis sectors were seller's markets below $640,000, with 1.7 to 2.3 months of inventory; over five years Old Lévis gained 62 % and Chutes-de-la-Chaudière West 69 %.

The August 2026 numbers on the South Shore of Quebec City

The month's reading: Lévis outsells everyone

While the Quebec City region grew 6 % in sales, the South Shore did +21 %, and +14 % for single-family homes alone. The reason fits in one number: $425,000, or $34,500 less than the Quebec City agglomeration ($459,500) for a single-family home, fifteen minutes from the bridges. In a market where buyers negotiate more (one sale in four after a price cut in the region), Lévis is the sector where a first-time buyer's or young family's budget still works. The 32-day delay is a little longer than in Quebec City (23) because supply is rising there too (+11 %, and +46 % in condos).

Lévis's three sectors (APCIQ barometer, second quarter 2026)

Three readings. Chutes-de-la-Chaudière West ($467,000, +69 % in five years) is the priciest sector and the one that rose most: Saint-Nicolas and Saint-Rédempteur attract families working in Sainte-Foy. Chutes East ($425,000, 19 days) is Lévis's fastest market. Old Lévis ($420,766, +62 %) is the most affordable and most urban, with condos at $276,000 and plexes around $447,500 over twelve months. Our listing at 8965 boulevard Guillaume-Couture shows we actually sell there.

Seller's or buyer's market? It depends on the price

Four months of inventory separates a seller's market from a balanced one; beyond eight, the buyer leads.

The Quebec context in August 2026

Province-wide, the APCIQ counted 6,502 residential sales in August 2026 (-7 % year over year) and 42,276 active listings (+21 %), with 12,482 new listings (+13 %). Median prices are holding: $497,501 for a single-family home (+2 %, 47 days), $405,000 for a condo (+1 %, 60 days) and $715,500 for a plex (+11 %, 50 days). Since January, 64,327 sales (-5 %). The Quebec market is rebalancing: fewer transactions, more supply, prices still rising. The full Greater Montreal picture is in Montreal market statistics, the forecasts in our 2027 forecast, and the tariff effect in tariff war and Quebec real estate.

What it changes for you

• Selling: the asking price is documented on closed sales in your sector over the last 60 to 90 days. With more supply everywhere in Quebec, an overpriced property is no longer shown, it is compared; the APCIQ notes that one sale in four in the Quebec City region now closes after a price cut. Our guide selling a house in 2026 details the method.
• Buying: choice is back and days on market are lengthening, except in the still-tight sectors (under 20 days). An up-to-date pre-approval before October 28 (the Bank of Canada's next decision) remains your best tool.
• Selling in Montreal and buying in the regions: the most profitable arbitrage of 2026 (a South Shore single-family home at $655,000 against $405,000 in Trois-Rivières or $450,000 in Quebec City). Our page moving from Toronto to Montreal shows the same logic from the other direction.
