Monthly Stats
january 2026
The year 2026 is off to a slow but steady start in the Gatineau CMA!
The year 2026 began as 2025 ended in the Gatineau CMA: rather calmly, with a 6% decline in new residential listings and a 23% decline in total sales. However, these statistics are offset by a market with some reserves, with 1,228 properties for sale, up 9% from January 2025.
The condominium market was once again marked by a significant decline in buyer interest, with sales down 40%. The single-family home market was down 20%, with a total of 146 sales, 37 fewer than in 2025.
However, the median price of single-family homes in January 2026 reached half a million dollars, an 8% increase compared to January 2025. Despite this price increase, single-family homes found buyers on average
7 days faster than in 2025, with 51 days. The median price of condos fell by 3% to $297,000, and it took an average of 11 more days (from 65 in 2025 to 76 in 2026) to complete transactions.
A quick note on 2- to 5-unit plexes: the 22 sales in January 2026 are equal to those in January 2025. This number of transactions is insufficient to produce reliable statistics in the median price and average days on market categories.
“The Outaouais real estate market is still feeling the effects of the last few months of 2025, but recent indicators are encouraging. The climate of uncertainty that marked the end of the year seems to be gradually dissipating, and we are already seeing a healthier repositioning of the market,” explains Roch St-Jacques, Chairman of the Board of Directors of la Chambre immobilière de l'Outaouais, Roch St-Jacques.
In this context, real estate decisions require more analysis and strategy, according to Roch St-Jacques.
“Having the right support from a real estate broker is now more important than ever in order to navigate this market with confidence, rigor, and a long-term vision.”
