Selling · Quebec City · QPAREB Q2 2026 figures
Fifteen days and a seller's market in every range: in Quebec City, the question is not whether it sells, it is for how much. Here are the 2026 figures by sector, the pricing method and the multiple-offer calendar.
Selling a house in Quebec City in 2026 means selling in the province's fastest seller's market: a $485,000 median for the single-family home in the Quebec City agglomeration in the second quarter (+8 % year over year, +63 % in five years), 15 days on market, 643 houses active, and a seller's market in every range, including above $720,000 (2.6 months of inventory). Sainte-Foy and Sillery ($640,000, 25 days) and Saint-Augustin-Cap-Rouge ($625,000, 11 days) are the high end; Charlesbourg ($470,500, 14 days), Beauport ($467,000), Les Rivières ($500,000, 10 days) and La Haute-Saint-Charles ($448,950) the family market; the Upper Town ($379,250, 35 days, mostly condos) and Limoilou ($325,000) the condo and plex market. The risk is not failing to sell, it is underselling: a house priced at its street's level, launched on a Thursday, receives several offers on Monday.
The Quebec City agglomeration sold its median house for $485,000 in the second quarter of 2026, +8 % year over year and +63 % in five years, in 15 days, with 643 active listings; the whole metropolitan area (with Lévis and the outer rings), $478,000 (+6 %, +62 %) in 18 days. The condo sells for $335,000 in 23 days. The market belongs to the seller in every range (1.2 to 2.6 months of inventory), a situation Montreal has not seen since 2022: Quebec City's buyers, often local households moving up and remote workers from Montreal, arrive pre-approved and offer the first weekend. For a seller, the day-one price is set on the street's closed sales, and the full launch produces the competition between buyers that makes the final price.

Sainte-Foy and Sillery sell the 1950s to 1980s homes near Université Laval and the river, and Sillery's large properties, above the median and in 25 days, the agglomeration's longest delay with the Upper Town: the buyer compares. Saint-Augustin and Cap-Rouge sell recent homes on large lots and waterfront properties in 11 days. Les Rivières (Duberger, Les Saules, Neufchâtel) is the fastest sector (10 days) with its bungalows and 1970s to 2000s homes near Fleur de Lys and the Robert-Bourassa expressway. Charlesbourg (Trait-Carré, Notre-Dame-des-Laurentides) and Beauport (the river, Montmorency, Courville) are the family market at the median, in 14 to 19 days; La Haute-Saint-Charles (Loretteville, Lac-Saint-Charles) and Val-Bélair the entry level. The Upper Town and Limoilou mostly sell condos and plexes: the plex is priced on its income. Our page real estate broker in Quebec City details the sectors.
The sector median tells you where the market sits, not what your house is worth. Our valuation starts from the closed sales of the last 60 to 90 days on your street and the streets next to it (same type, same era, same lot), adjusts for what differs (finished basement, garage, pool, roof, windows, kitchen), then looks at what is for sale right now at the same price: that is your real competition. Pricing 3 % too high in a 30-day market costs you the first weekend, when viewings concentrate; pricing right produces multiple offers. We show you the comparables, not a promise.

15 days in median in the agglomeration in the second quarter of 2026 (10 in Les Rivières, 25 in Sainte-Foy), plus 30 to 60 days to the notary. A house priced at its street's level receives its offers the first weekend, often several.
Spring concentrates buyers, but in Quebec City, with 1.2 to 2.6 months of inventory, fall and winter sell too: scarcity makes the price in every season. Selling before the September university start helps in Sainte-Foy.
Visible low-cost work pays back; in a 15-day market, the buyer more readily accepts original condition, but the roof, windows and drain negotiate as a price adjustment. A full launch brings more than a renovation.
The broker's compensation, agreed in the brokerage contract and payable at the sale; the certificate of location if outdated ($1,200 to $2,500); the mortgage penalty if you break a term (three months of interest or the interest rate differential); the notary's fees for the discharge. Our free valuation puts numbers on all of it before you decide.
