In ten years, $10.52B more changed hands each year in these 50 cities, and nearly all of it comes from price: +98% in average price against +6% in sales. At the median of cities, price explains 94% of the rise in volume. The cities that rose from both ends, more sales and dearer, are the formerly affordable cities that drew Greater Montreal buyers: Quebec City (sales +20%), Lévis (sales +62%), Sherbrooke (sales +27%). At the other end, L'Île-Perrot (sales -27%), Pointe-Claire (sales -26%), Vaudreuil-Dorion (sales -21%) sell fewer houses than in 2016, for more dollars. The five largest markets (Montreal ($2.71B), Laval ($1.82B), Quebec City ($1.69B), Gatineau ($1.36B), Longueuil ($816M)) make up 42% of the total. At the pace of the first nine months, 2026 beats 2025 in 35 of 50 cities.
Sales volume adds up the sale prices of every single-family house sold in the year on Centris, whole municipality. It rises for two reasons that do not mean the same thing: more sales is a busier market; dearer sales is a pricier market. Price's share of the rise is computed in logarithms, so that price and sales add up to 100%; above 100%, price more than offset a drop in sales. The number of sales comes from the same query (volume divided by average price); it differs by a few units from our home sales pages, harvested on September 16. 2016 to 2025 compares two full years; 2026 stops in September.
All series come from the Statistics module of Centris (Matrix), queried on October 2, 2026 with the same parameters for the 50 cities: Single-family category, whole municipality (boroughs or sectors combined for Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, Longueuil, Gatineau, Lévis, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Terrebonne, Repentigny), sales volume and average sale price by year over ten years. Only aggregates are published. The same cities have their average price by city and home prices by city pages.
For reading the health of your city's market: a volume rising with the number of sales is a market that widens, where comparables are plentiful; a volume rising on price alone is a market that concentrates, where each sale weighs more and inventory sets the price. To price a specific house, volume is useless: it is the comparable sales of the sector.
