Magog real estate market in 2026: $585,000, 63 days and the price of the lake

Report · Magog and Memphrémagog · Summer 2026 (updated September 5, 2026)

Magog in numbers from the official APCIQ barometer: sales, prices, days on market, supply, the Quebec context for August, and what it changes if you are selling or buying on the lake.

In Q2 2026 Magog sold 106 properties (-11 % year over year) while supply rose (234 active listings, +11 %). The median single-family home sold for $585,000 (+1 %) in 63 days, the longest delay in the Sherbrooke region, and the average price reached $767,322 (+8 %), pulled up by lakefront properties on Lake Memphremagog and around Mont-Orford. Over twelve months, condos sell for $340,000 (+4 %) and plexes for $486,250. In five years the Magog house gained 75 %. It is a second-home and retiree market where the right price matters more than elsewhere, because the buyer is in no hurry. The APCIQ does not publish monthly statistics for Magog: next barometer mid-October.

Method note: the APCIQ publishes monthly statistics for the Montreal and Quebec City regions only; for this market, the most recent data is the second-quarter 2026 barometer, released July 14. The third quarter will be released in mid-October and this page will be updated that day.

The summer's reading: two markets in one town

The gap between the median price ($585,000) and the average price ($767,322) tells Magog's story: on one side, the town's houses and family neighbourhoods around $500,000; on the other, lakefront properties on Lake Memphremagog, Lake Lovering and around Mont-Orford that sell for one, two or three million and pull the average up. The 63-day delay, the longest in the Eastern Townships, comes from that second market: a second-home buyer is never in a hurry and compares Magog with Orford, North Hatley and the Laurentians. The market landed softly: +1 % on the quarter, +4 % over twelve months, after +75 % in five years. Supply is rising (+11 %) and sales are falling (-11 %): this is the year when the first-day price decides everything.

Magog is pricier than Sherbrooke ($585,000 vs $460,000) and slower (63 days vs 23), but cheaper than the lake periphery ($690,500). For a seller, the comparable is not the house next door but the house with the same water access, view and exposure; for a buyer, checking the certificate of location (shoreline strip, dock, septic system) is the point that makes or breaks the deal.

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.
