Is a pool really worth what it costs in Sainte-Adèle? What about a garage? Here are the real price gaps, drawn from listings sold over 12 months, with days on market on both sides.
As of September 18, 2026, across 245 single-family sales read in Sainte-Adèle on Centris between September 16, 2025 and September 16, 2026, the median sale price is $539,000 and the median selling time 19 days. Median price gaps by feature: pool 2.5% (14% of sales have one), garage 33.8% (42%), fireplace 10.6% (86%). The garage carries the most weight in Sainte-Adèle. By year built, the median price runs from $385,000 to $800,000. Source: Centris (Matrix), single-family sales closed between September 16, 2025 and September 16, 2026, features as declared on each listing (pool, garage, fireplace, year built), up to 300 sales per city, compiled September 18, 2026, aggregates only.
Every listing sold on Centris declares its features: pool, garage, fireplace or stove, year built. Comparing the sale prices of houses that have them against houses that do not gives a real gap rather than an opinion. Across 245 sales in Sainte-Adèle over 12 months, the median sale price is $539,000.
| Feature | Share of sales | Median price with | Median price without | Gap | Days on market with / without |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pool | 14% | $552,500 | $539,000 | +$13,500 (2.5%) | 21 / 19 |
| Garage | 42% | $682,500 | $510,000 | +$172,500 (33.8%) | 30 / 15 |
| Fireplace or stove | 86% | $550,000 | $497,500 | +$52,500 (10.6%) | 20 / 13.5 |
Source: Centris (Matrix), single-family sales closed between September 16, 2025 and September 16, 2026, features as declared on each listing (pool, garage, fireplace, year built), up to 300 sales per city, compiled September 18, 2026, aggregates only. The gap is the difference between the median price of houses with the feature and the median price of houses without it. It is not the value of an addition: it is what separates two groups of houses on the market.
Houses with a pool sold for $13,500 more than houses without one, a gap of 2.5%. That gap is not a size effect: comparing only three-bedroom houses, it still stands at 9.5%. Days on market, though, are the same on both sides: 21 against 19.
The distinction matters on both sides. Sellers: an in-ground pool costs far more today than the gap shown here, and it also shrinks the buyer pool (young families interested, retirees often put off by the upkeep). You do not install a pool in order to sell. Buyers: if the house you want has a pool, the gap above is the order of magnitude the market grants it, not the cost of building it. That is a documented argument at the negotiating table, to be read alongside the negotiation gap in Sainte-Adèle.
A garage separates prices by 33.8% in Sainte-Adèle, and it is present on 42% of the houses sold. Across all 51 cities tracked, the garage is the feature whose price gap is the most consistent: 28.5% at the median, against 21.8% for a pool and 13.4% for a fireplace. In Quebec a garage is not a luxury, it is a winter necessity, and prices show it.
| Year built | Sales | Median sale price | Days on market | Bedrooms (median) | Rooms (median) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1959 and earlier | 33 | $385,000 | 16 | 3 | 8 |
| 1960-1979 | 62 | $515,000 | 25 | 3 | 11 |
| 1980-1999 | 52 | $523,500 | 19 | 3 | 12 |
| 2000-2009 | 41 | $610,000 | 20 | 3 | 12 |
| 2010 onward | 49 | $800,000 | 19 | 3 | 13 |
The most expensive homes at the median are those built in 2010 onward ($800,000). But price is not the only axis: homes from the 1959 and earlier period sold fastest (16 days), while those from 1960-1979 took the longest (25 days).
The province-wide finding is counterintuitive and it repeats from city to city: newer homes sell for more but more slowly. Across the 52 cities, the median price climbs from $457,475 for houses built in 1959 and earlier to $705,000 for those built in 2010 and later, yet median days on market go from 10 days for 1980s and 1990s homes to 17.5 days for the newest ones. Newer costs more, draws less competition, and leaves more room to negotiate.
Two mistakes are expensive. The first is adding the cost of completed work to the asking price: the market does not reimburse an invoice, it pays a gap. The second is ignoring features entirely: in Sainte-Adèle, a house with a garage sells for 33.8% more, and a listing that fails to declare them properly drops out of entire search filters. Before you list, have the gap priced on your own street: our free evaluation in Sainte-Adèle starts from actual comparable sales, and selling time in Sainte-Adèle completes the picture.

Single-family listings switched to sold status on Centris (Matrix) between September 16, 2025 and September 16, 2026. For each listing: sale price, days on market, presence of a pool, a garage, a fireplace or stove, year built, bedrooms and rooms. Up to 300 sales read per city, in address order, an order unrelated to price. The gaps are differences between group medians, not isolated effects: a house with a pool may also be larger. That is why the comparison is repeated at equal bedroom count. Subgroups with fewer than 8 sales are not published. Merged cities are taken in full. Only aggregates are published, never an individual listing. Price series live on home prices in Sainte-Adèle and Quebec real estate statistics.
Houses with a pool sold for $13,500 more than houses without one, a gap of 2.5%. That gap is not a size effect: comparing only three-bedroom houses, it still stands at 9.5%. Days on market, though, are the same on both sides: 21 against 19. This gap measures what separates two groups of houses on the market, not the return on a pool you would have installed. The cost of an in-ground pool far exceeds the gap observed.
The garage: 33.8% against 2.5% for a pool. Across the 52 cities tracked, the garage wins at the median (28.5% against 21.8%).
No, the opposite. Across the 52 cities, houses built in 2010 and later sell at the highest median price ($705,000) but take the longest (17.5 days), against 10 days for 1980s and 1990s homes. More expensive, slower, therefore more negotiable.
