House types · 42 cities · Centris 2016-2026
One page per city, same definitions, same source: the median price of a split-level and of a storey-and-a-half house by year since 2016, beside the bungalow and the two-storey house, the gap between types, their share of sales and the one that rose the most.
Across the 42 cities tracked, the split-level house sells for $595,000 at the median in 2026 (January to September) and the storey-and-a-half for $415,000, against $564,775 for the bungalow and $687,250 for the two-storey house. The split-level sells at +8% against the bungalow at the median (more expensive in 39 of 41 cities) and -10% against the two-storey house; the storey-and-a-half at -8% against the bungalow (cheaper in 12 of 17 cities). Since 2016: bungalow +128%, two-storey +118%, split-level +114%, storey-and-a-half +123%. Share of single-family sales: split-level 6%, storey-and-a-half 3% at the median. Widest split-level gap over the bungalow: Candiac (+33%), Sorel-Tracy (+22%), Montreal (+19%); narrowest: Sainte-Thérèse (+2%), Drummondville (-3%), Mirabel (-7%).

Single-family homes sold on Centris in 2026 (January to September): median sale price by property type, gap of the split-level and of the storey-and-a-half against the bungalow, and increase of the split-level since its first publishable year. When 2026 does not have enough sales for a type, the reference year is shown in brackets; "n/a": type without a reliable median.

The split-level is the suburban product of the 1970s to 1990s: three or four half-levels, a built-in garage, a family room at garden level. At the median of the cities tracked it sells at +8% against the bungalow ($37,500) and -10% against the two-storey house: more floor area than the bungalow, less prestige than the full second floor. It costs the most over the bungalow in Candiac (+33%), Sorel-Tracy (+22%), Montreal (+19%), and sells below the bungalow in Sainte-Thérèse (+2%), Drummondville (-3%), Mirabel (-7%), where its stock ages without renovation. The storey-and-a-half is the type of villages and pre-war neighbourhoods, bedrooms under the roof: -8% against the bungalow at the median, cheaper in 12 of 17 cities, and -22% against the two-storey house. Over ten years, the type that rose the most is the bungalow in 18 cities, the two-storey house in 13, the split-level in 4 and the storey-and-a-half in 7. Both types remain minorities: 6% of single-family sales for the split-level at the median (Dollard-des-Ormeaux (21%), Pointe-Claire (16%), Beaconsfield (13%) lead) and 3% for the storey-and-a-half (Magog (8%), Rouyn-Noranda (8%), Rimouski (7%)). Most expensive split-levels: Saint-Lambert ($1,235,000), Beaconsfield ($937,500), Candiac ($880,000); least expensive: Rimouski ($410,000), Saguenay ($402,023), Victoriaville ($384,500); cheapest storey-and-a-half: Rimouski ($325,000), Saguenay ($320,000), Victoriaville ($287,000). Largest increases for the split-level: Saint-Jérôme (+162%), Trois-Rivières (+158%), Chambly (+143%).
The property type is the one on the Centris listing: bungalow, two or more storey, split-level, one-and-a-half storey; other types are not counted. The gap between two types compares two medians of the same year in the same city: it blends the shape of the house and everything that usually comes with it (floor area, age, lot, garage). A 30% gap says the city's split-levels are larger and better located than its bungalows; a negative gap says the split-level stock has aged without renovation. Rare types have few sales in small towns and swing more; a type with fewer than 10 sales in a year is not published, and when 2026 is missing, the last publishable year serves as the reference. Each city page details the ten years, the four types side by side and what to make of it when buying or selling.
Every series comes from the Statistics module of Centris (Matrix), queried on October 13, 2026 with the same settings for all 42 cities: Single-family category, property type "split-level" then "one-and-a-half storey", whole municipality (boroughs or sectors grouped for Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, Longueuil, Gatineau, Lévis, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Terrebonne, Repentigny), median sale price and number of sales by year over ten years. The bungalow and the two-storey house come from the same query run on September 28, 2026 (bungalow prices by city). Only aggregates are published. The same cities have their page on all-types prices, detached, semi-detached and row houses and buyer's or seller's market.
A house whose levels are offset by half a storey: you enter at the living-room level, climb half a flight to the bedrooms and go down half a flight to the family room, often at garden level, with a built-in garage below. Built mostly from 1970 to 1990 in the suburbs, it gives more floor area than the bungalow on the same lot, at the cost of stairs everywhere. Centris classes it as the "split-level" type, distinct from the bungalow and the two-storey house.
A house whose upper floor is fitted under the roof, with sloped ceilings and dormers: the type of village houses, pre-war neighbourhoods and some recent country-style homes. It generally sells for less than the bungalow because its stock is older, not because the shape is worth less: a renovated storey-and-a-half compares with the two-storey houses of its neighbourhood.
We publish the cities where at least one of the two types has enough sales for a reliable median. A broker from the team can pull the same statistics for any municipality or neighbourhood in Quebec.
