2026 rankings · 50 cities · 10 rankings

Ten rankings built on the same Centris sales: price, timing, ten-year gain, condo, plex unit, inventory and the million, for 50 Quebec cities. Every city has its row and its ranks; every ranking has its page.

Ten city rankings computed on Centris sales from January to September 2026 and 2016: the cheapest house is in Sept-Îles ($275,000) and the most expensive in Westmount ($2,272,500), for a median of the 50 cities at $610,000; the fastest sale is in Quebec City (5 days) and the slowest in Westmount (35 days), median 13 days; the biggest 2016-2026 gain is in Trois-Rivières (+177%) and the smallest in Sept-Îles (+58%), 42 cities having doubled; the cheapest condo is in Rouyn-Noranda ($270,000), the cheapest plex unit in Victoriaville ($100,833); 1 city is a buyer's market and 38 are seller's markets; the share of sales at a million and up is highest in Westmount (91%).

The 50 cities and their ranks

From the cheapest city to the most expensive; in brackets, the rank in each ranking (n/t = not tracked in that ranking).

What the ten rankings say together

The cheapest cities are also among the fastest (7 of the 10 cheapest sell in 13 days or less) and those that rose the most (+118% in median against +105% for the 10 most expensive): the catch-up of the regions and the suburbs is the big story of the decade, and it did not loosen their market. The most expensive cities are the slowest (7 of the 10 most expensive exceed the median days on market) and concentrate the million: in 10 cities, at least one sale in four exceeds $1M. The buyer's market remains the exception (1 city out of 50, median 3.3 months of inventory), which is why the slowest city of 2026 (Westmount, 35 days) still sells faster than the 2016 median of cities (64 days). The condo ($390,000 in median of the 41 condo cities) and the plex unit ($171,250 in median of the 23 plex cities) are the two entry doors below the median house ($610,000).

How to read these rankings

The 50 cities are those where Centris publishes a complete ten-year series for the single-family house; the condo is ranked in the 41 cities with 50 or more condominium sales a year, the plex in the 23 cities where enough sell, the million in the 34 cities with 10 or more sales at that price. 2026 values cover January to September 2026; 2016 is the full year. Every ranking links to each city's page in the related series, and the real estate statistics by city sheet gathers twelve indicators and the rank for each city. Aggregates only, no new query.
