In 2025, real estate sales in Quebec reached peak levels, ranking third among the best years in history, according to recent data from the Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers (APCIQ).
Record Year for the Province
Across the province, 97,214 residential transactions were recorded — an 8% increase compared to 2024. All categories showed growth: single-family homes (63,210 transactions, +8%), condominiums (24,232, +5%), and plexes (9,477, +13%).
Lower mortgage rates and the extension of the maximum amortization period from 25 to 30 years supported purchasing power, maintaining high demand amid limited supply — the market remains on the sellers’ side.
Laurentians: Dynamics +9%
The Laurentians region showed a 9% increase in single-family home sales. Activity is particularly high in Q4, although some areas have slightly slowed down due to local factors.
- Saint-Sauveur and Sainte-Adèle: a slight decrease of 4% and 1% in the quarter, but an annual growth of 6–8%.
- Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts and Mont-Tremblant: a jump of 25% and 21%, with median prices of $480,000 and $618,000.
Prices are stable, and time on the market is decreasing due to a shortage of listings.
Mont-Tremblant: From Decline to Boom
After the impact of high rates in 2022–2023 (outflow of investors, increase in inventory), the region has revived: lower rates, the return of buyers, projects like Club Med, and new commercial operators led to a +15% increase in sales for the year.
Factors of Success
APCIQ economist Charles Brant emphasizes the heterogeneity of the Laurentians: small markets are volatile. Telecommuting, migration (one of the highest rates in Quebec), and prices lower than in Montreal attract families. Realtor Nicolas Toupin notes a shift: high-speed internet has opened up “remote” areas for telecommuters.
Outlook
Despite the housing crisis, experts insist: build more, especially condos for newcomers. The balance requires cautious growth in demand, economic improvements, and cooperation from authorities. In 2026, the Laurentians market promises to remain hot.
