Condo · loft and studio · 5 cities · Centris 2016-2026
One page per city, same definitions, same source: the median price of a loft or studio condo by year since 2016, compared with the all-types median condo, with the number of sales and the increase; thin series are said as such.
Across the 5 cities tracked, a loft or studio sells for $290,000 at the median in the latest publishable year, or -30% versus the all-types median condo ($-126,000); it is cheaper than the median condo in 5 cities and more expensive in 0. Since the first publishable year: loft +78% at the median, median condo +73% over the same periods. 3,458 lofts and studios sold over ten years, 1.5% of condos; 1 of 5 cities have a thin series. Most expensive loft relative to the condo: Longueuil (-15%), Brossard (-19%), Laval (-30%); cheapest: Laval (-30%), Quebec City (-39%), Montreal (-42%).

Condos of the "Loft/Studio" type sold on Centris: median sale price in the latest publishable year (at least 5 sales), all-types median condo in the same year, loft gap, increase since the first publishable year and sales over ten years. The asterisk flags a thin series (fewer than 6 publishable years or fewer than 60 sales). "n/a": no comparison possible.

The "Loft/Studio" type is a small market: 3,458 sales in ten years across the 5 cities, 1.5% of condos, and Montreal (2,893), Quebec City (353), Longueuil (104) make up most of it. It blends two products: the entry-level studio, cheaper than the median condo, and the open-plan conversion loft, often more expensive. The loft sells for less than the median condo in 5 of 5 cities and for more in 0: Longueuil (-15%), Brossard (-19%), Laval (-30%) at the top, Laval (-30%), Quebec City (-39%), Montreal (-42%) at the bottom. At the median, the gap is -30%. The most expensive lofts: Brossard ($327,000), Longueuil ($319,000), Laval ($290,000); the least expensive: Laval ($290,000), Montreal ($275,000), Quebec City ($205,000). Largest increases: Brossard (+120%), Longueuil (+95%), Laval (+78%). The loft rose faster than the median condo in 2 of 5 cities.
The type is the one on the Centris listing, in the Condominium category: a studio listed as "Apartment" is not counted. A year is published only if it has at least 5 sales; a city gets its page only if at least 2 years are publishable, and 1 of 5 cities remain thin: their median can be made by a single project. The latest publishable year is not 2026 everywhere (5 of 5 cities have a 2025 or 2026 median); the gap compares the loft and the median condo of the same year. The all-types median condo is the one on our condo price pages. Each city page details the years, the sales and the missing years.
Every series comes from the Statistics module of Centris (Matrix), queried on October 13, 2026 with the same settings for the cities tracked: Condominium category, property type "Loft/Studio", whole municipality, median sale price and number of sales by year over ten years. Cities without 2 publishable years are not published. Only aggregates are published. The same cities have their page on all-types condo prices, townhouse condo vs apartment, condo prices by number of bedrooms and condo sales by price range.
The studio is a small unit with one main room and no closed bedroom, often in a recent building. The loft is an open-plan unit with high ceilings, often in a converted building (factory, warehouse, school). Centris files both under the same "Loft/Studio" type, which is why the median price can sit above or below the typical condo depending on the city.
It speaks to a narrower pool of buyers than the two-bedroom condo: single person, couple without children, investor. In large cities it turns over; in small ones it can wait. A broker from the team tells you how many units of this type sold in your building and how fast.
We publish only the cities where at least 2 years have 5 or more loft and studio sales. A broker from the team can pull the same statistics for any municipality or borough in Quebec.
