Closed sales on Centris from 2016 to September 2026: 17,163 bungalows, 13,874 two-storey houses, 1,610 split-level houses, 833 storey-and-a-half houses. A year with fewer than 10 sales in a type is left blank (n/a), and a type missing from the table does not have enough sales in Quebec City to be published. When a year has few sales, its median swings a lot: read the trend, not a single year.

Which house to choose in Quebec City: split-level, storey-and-a-half, bungalow or two-storey?
In Quebec City, the split-level sells at +8% against the bungalow, in line with the cities tracked (8%). It gives more floor area than the bungalow for a similar price, with the stairs as the trade-off: a good compromise for a family, a harder product for a retiree. The storey-and-a-half sells at the bungalow's price in Quebec City (-7%, $433,944 in 2026 (January to September)): bedrooms under the roof versus bedrooms on one level, the market sees no difference in range.
How to read these numbers
One median per year and per property type, for all of Quebec City. The type comes from the Centris listing and says nothing about the condition or the floor area of the house. The gap between two types measures what the market pays for the typical house of each type, not what yours would be worth in the other shape. Years with fewer than 10 sales are not published; when 2026 is missing, the reference year is named. A broker evaluation settles it for one specific house.
