Closed sales on Centris from 2018 to September 2026: 301 houses bordered by a body of water and 10,507 single-family homes in all. A year with fewer than 10 waterfront sales is left blank (n/a). When a year has few sales, its median can move by tens of thousands of dollars without the market having changed.
What nine years of sales say in Lévis
- The waterfront rose more slowly than the rest in Lévis: +57% since 2018, versus +85% for all houses. The premium narrowed: buyers first caught up on the price of the ordinary house.
- The waterfront premium melted: +45% in 2018, +23% in 2026. The market caught up with waterfront prices, or more modest waterfront houses sold in recent years.
- The waterfront house sold for more than the median house every publishable year in Lévis: the strongest premium in 2018 (+45%), the weakest in 2026 (+23%).
- The waterfront is rare in Lévis: 2.9% of single-family homes sold since 2018 (301 of 10,507). A median on so few sales moves a lot from one year to the next: read the trend, not a single year's figure.

Is the waterfront worth paying for in Lévis?
In Lévis, the waterfront costs $102,600 (+23%), in line with the regions and cities tracked. The gap measures the house that comes with the water as much as the water itself: lot, outbuildings, year built. Before paying the premium, check the shoreline buffer, flood levels, year-round access and the condition of the well and septic system: that is where two waterfront houses at the same price part ways.
How to read these figures
Two series drawn from the same Centris database with the same settings for all of Lévis: single-family category, closed sales, median sale price per year, with and without the criterion bordered by a body of water (lake, river, the St. Lawrence, pond, canal, sea, reservoir or stream). The second series includes the first: the premium compares waterfront to all houses, not to non-waterfront. The field is declared by the listing broker on each listing and has been filled in only since 2018. 2026 = January to September.
Our other data series in Lévis, from the same Centris listings:
- Land prices in Lévis, ten years
- Home prices in Lévis, ten years
- What the pool and garage are worth in Lévis
- Prices by number of bedrooms in Lévis
- Prices by number of bathrooms in Lévis
Each series is recalculated from actual sales, aggregates only.
