Monthly Stats
APRIL 2026
Residential resale inventory continues to grow in April in the Gatineau CMA
Following an 11% decline in residential property sales between 2026 and 2025 recorded last month, the Gatineau CMA market is regaining momentum with sales down only 3% and inventory on a steady rise. As for condominiums, there has been an impressive 61% increase in active listings over the past year.
While this statistic regarding condominiums is impressive, it is not necessarily surprising, since the number of condos for sale has skyrocketed across the province since the passage of Bill 16 last year. This trend could stabilize over the next few years, depending on the often volatile economic climate and the speed at which condo associations update their processes to comply with the new law. This modernization should reduce the financial pressure on owners through lower condo fees. We should also consider the reductions in transfer taxes, which give first-time buyers some breathing room.
Meanwhile, in April 2026, condo sales plummeted by 33% compared to 2025, and their median price dropped by 6% to $300,000.
For the second month in a row, multi-unit buildings performed well, with a 33% increase (44 sales compared to 33 in 2025), which is also 14% higher than the previous month. These multi-unit buildings also spent an average of 21 days less on the market than in 2025.
The most stable market segment, by far, remains single-family homes. The total number of sales stood at 370 for April 2026, the same as in 2025. The same goes for the median price, which has remained unchanged over the past year at $510,000.
Listings on the rise
A sign that the market is slowly but surely moving toward relative equilibrium, new listings and active listings jumped by 11% and 30%, respectively, between April 2025 and 2026. Active listings now total 1,837, whereas for the first three months of the year, they stood at 1,228 in January, 1,349 in February, and 1,643 in March.
