The housing market in the Gatineau CMA continued to return to normal in October
Signs pointing toward a more normal market continue to be evident in the Gatineau CMA’s residential resale market: inventory in October remained higher than last year (+34%), median prices fell across the board, and the number of days on the market for single-family homes and condominiums increased significantly.
Only townhouses sold more quickly than last year (-5 days). A single-family home remained on the market for an average of 39 days—12 days longer than in October 2025—and the average time on the market for condominiums rose from 41 to 62 days.
In addition to the 34% increase in the number of active listings—from 1,666 to 2,238 in October 2026—new listings rose slightly by 3%, to 731 properties.
“What we’re experiencing right now is like a traffic jam on the road. This phenomenon gives people and real estate agents the impression that the market isn’t moving, but that’s not true. It’s just moving slower than during the pandemic, and there are more properties on the market, so in light of this, we need to have realistic expectations. It’s far from a disaster!” says Jean-Marc Blais, chairman of the board of directors of the Outaouais Real Estate Board. “Buyers are simply taking more time to shop around because they have more choices.”
Sales Hold Steady Despite Increased Supply
A total of 370 properties changed hands in October, compared to 373 during the same period last year—a slight decrease of 1%.
The single-family home market stood out with 290 sales, up 3%. The condominium market, meanwhile, posted a 17% decline, with 45 transactions, while two- to five-unit multi-family homes recorded 35 sales, a 5% drop.
In terms of prices, the single-family home market remains relatively stable. Its median price stood at $490,000, down 2% from the $499,900 recorded in October 2025. The decline was more pronounced for condominiums, whose median price fell by 6% to $296,500. For multi-unit dwellings with two to five units, the median price was $499,900, compared to $650,000 last year—a 23% change.
